Carrie Prejean Stripped Of Miss California Title

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Carrie Prejean has been stripped of her Miss California title.

“The Miss California USA Organization, in conjunction with the Miss Universe Organization and with the blessing of its owner, Mr. Donald J. Trump, announced today the termination of Carrie Prejean as Miss California USA 2009, citing continued breach of contract issues,” the Miss California Organization said in a statement to Access Hollywood.

The group kicked the controversial beauty queen from her post due to “contract violations including Ms. Prejean’s unwillingness to make appearances on behalf of the Miss California USA organization,” the pageant’s Executive Director, Keith Lewis, said in a statement.

Last month, Trump decided that Prejean would be allowed to keep her crown despite racy photos of the 22-year-old surfacing on the Internet. But Lewis claims that in the weeks that followed, the beauty queen did not step up to the plate.

“Since that time it has become abundantly clear that Carrie is unwilling to fulfill her obligations under our contract and work together,” Lewis’ statement continued.

Billy Bush broke the news to Prejean on Wednesday afternoon when he called her for Access Hollywood and “The Billy Bush Show.”

“We’ve just found out from Keith Lewis, your executive director there, that it’s official, they have put out a statement and you have been fired,” Bush said.

“Well, that’s the first that I know about that, Billy,” Prejean said.

“Really?” he continued.

“Yeah. I was just talking to my lawyer and I just got a phone call from you and I’ve gotten some text messages saying ‘Hey, is this really true?’ and I said, ‘True about what?’ and they said, ‘That you’ve been fired.’ And I started to laugh because everyone’s been cooperating and everyone’s been getting along so well,” she said. “This is the first that I’ve heard of it. This is funny to me. I have no idea what’s going on.”

Trump was also involved in Wednesday’s dethroning, and leant his voice to her dismissal.

“I told Carrie she needed to get back to work and honor her contract with the Miss California USA Organization and I gave her the opportunity to do so,” Trump said his statement. “Unfortunately it just doesn’t look like it is going to happen and I offered Keith my full support in making this decision. Carrie is a beautiful young woman and I wish her well as she pursues other interests.”

Miss Malibu Tami Farrell, who was the First Runner-Up, is now Miss California.

In addition to the semi-nude photo scandal, Prejean’s reign as Miss California also created headlines at the Miss USA pageant in April after she answered a question from Perez Hilton regarding her stance on gay marriage. She said she believed marriage “should be between a man and a woman.”

Shanna Moakler quit the Miss California Organization, where she had served as a co-executive director back in May after Trump let Prejean keep her crown. When asked last month by Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush if she would return to the group if Prejean quit, Moakler said she would.

“Absolutely,” she said. “In a heartbeat…. It’s not ‘her or me’. It’s you… have to, at some point, make her take responsibility.”

And on Wednesday, not long after the news broke, Moakler issued a statement to Access over Prejean’s firing.

“First and foremost, my faith has been restored in the Miss Universe Organization and with Donald Trump. I believed eventually what I intimately knew would come to fruition,” Moakler said.

When sex dies out? Run, baby, run

Posted on 18 May 2009 at 12:50pm

What would you do if the sex in your relationship slowed down… buggered off…faded and went to this far away plane and moved to another planet — to extinction. If this happened to me, I would try chocolates; the girls tell me cocoa substitutes warm
caresses and snuggles and often seems to do the jig for them. If that does not help I would scream, shout, pull my hair out and — sorry honey, I would dump the monkey! (The dimpled hot boy from the gym would be a yummy thought for now!)

The first thing I feel is that the mere mention of the word sex sends everybody running for cover, makes the entire environment so uncomfortable. Isn’t it a bit hypocritical for a country where the national pasttime seems to be sex. How else would you explain our booming population? No government surviving, but that I guess is another topic which I or any other Indian would not want to get into. So, are we not just fed up!

Gaps…these communication gaps, which also lead to a lot of unsatisfied women. You see, sex is an integral part of any relationship. It is the spark which keeps the fire burning in a relationship. A huge ugly quarrel can be easily settled by a long lingering kiss and as they say, make up sex is the best sex of ‘em all, isn’t it people?

So what do you do when the attraction seems to be fading? When both of you spend endless nights facing away and staring at the walls whereas you should be looking into each other’s eyes instead. Passionate nights are replaced by lonely ones where you start dreaming about younger men sweeping you off your feet and men start texting their exes and destroying whatever little is left in the relationship.

Well, here’s how you can fix this problem in a few easy ways. (There’s no ‘magic’ wand that will do that for you.)

Firstly, let’s talk people, talk about your likes and dislikes. There’s no need to be coy with the person you love (that beats the purpose of being in love in the first place), so communication is the key. Tell them how you like it!

It is also very important to be selfless in bed. You should always want to make your partner happy. Boys, please pay special attention to this, it is a very unattractive quality, the act of sex is intimate and beautiful. It should be above life and more. Not just a necessity you need to get over within three minutes. The bed is always about the ladies, so be a man.

But sometimes if all of the above doesn’twork, there is a very good reason for that. The fact that this person doesn’t seem to be attracted to you is because, as David Guetta puts it in his famous track, the Love Is Gone! So you should at this point realise that your relationship is over and you need to move on.

In addition, attraction isn’t something that can be altered. Either you live with that
person because you cannot live without them and make it work, or not. The choice is yours; it always is. The best way is to be honest to yourself when assessing the reasons and taking the decisions which often have huge consequences.

We might not like to admit it, or talk about it, but clearly we can’t seem to do without it. So stop being helpless women from the black and white era. We women today are independent and outspoken, so why not tell that man exactly what wewant because he is too dumb to know it anyway!

Sex lessons to learn from your partner

Sex lessons to learn from your partner

Posted on 17 May 2009 at 6:27am

When there’s no dearth of sex-education today, most lovers are usually quite well-read before hitting the sack.
From guides, books and Internet journals to seeking help from gynecologists, sex-experts and of course their own friends
who have been there and done that…they leave no stone unturned to keep their sexual-knowledge up-to-date.

Despite all their efforts and door-knockings to seek the best of sex-lessons, there’s still one source that partners often tend to ignore, leading to major goof-ups on D-Day. But who’s he? Well, it’s none other than your own partner.

“Agree or not, but there are a number of things a man can teach a woman and vice versa, when it comes to making love, “ says relationship expert, Radhika Saini.

So, here’s a low-down on lessons that you can learn from your partner…

From your man
To initiate: This is the best lesson a woman can make to learn ‘how to love’ from her man. While most women hold themselves back while making love, men get into a pro-active mode to set the ball rolling. So, learning to take charge to tread the way to sexual gratification is the most important lesson that a woman can learn from her man. Don’t forget that men love witnessing their meek kittens transforming into a sex-Goddesses all set to control them.

To experiment : This is another territory where men usually score brownie points, while women lose out. From trying newer techniques to getting their hands on new positions and places, men are more open to embrace change, while women usually stick to a boring routine, which only adds to the monotony to their sex life. So, if women can learn to shun their inhibitions the way their man does and open-up to take a newer plunge whenever boredom strikes their sex-life, sexual-gratification of both the partners will never remain unachievable.

To enjoy first and then evaluate : Women have a tendency to become critical of everything that a man does to her. Be it a new move in bed or a position of love-making, she usually dons the thinking cap and starts dissecting the act mid-way on grounds of health benefits, apprehensions, accessibility, her ease and comfort level. This kind of criticism chains the man’s prowess and progress in love-making and ultimately mars overall sexual pleasure. On the other hand, men believe in going with the flow and leaving the entire thinking and evaluating part for the end.

To share : From discussing their performance to sharing fantasies, men don’t have any qualms about opening up before the woman they love. They love to hear how they scored in the act and at the same time are totally at ease while sharing their wildest of fantasies with their woman with a hope that they will be fulfilled. However, women have a long way to go till they can be totally transparent in bed. Sometimes it is the fear of rejection, while at others, it is their bad habit of talking mid way during sex that often keeps a woman under wraps in front of her man. But gals, there’s always a scope of improvement. Sharing what you liked, disliked, want more of and never again with your man, will only make it easier for you to him to pleasure him and ultimately guarantee you sexual bliss.

The journey to bliss is as gratifying as the final destination and

voyage will only take away the bonus points that you can score on your
way. So, rather than heading straight for sex, it’s high time men realized the importance of foreplay from their lady luck. Men give a mechanical touch to the otherwise sensitive and sensual act by chasing the climax and thus ignoring the pleasure pacts that the two can sign mid-way. So, learning the art of seduction and foreplay is the primary and the most important lesson that a man can learn from his gal.

Pleasure comes with patience : Making love is definitely about giving and receiving pleasure. Men are undoubtedly aware about this lesson, but only partially. Most of the times, they are more concerned about their own pleasure and completely sideline what their woman wants. Be it compromising on the arousal time, cutting down on foreplay or for that matter leaving her mid-way once he has climaxed…men are more into wham-bam-slam-thank you mam-kinda sex. On the other hand, the female counterpart accompanies you right from the beginning till the time you hit your peak irrespective of the stage she is in, expecting you to give her the same degree of patience and pleasure. So, men learn that love is not only about ‘taking’ it’s also about ‘giving’…and that pleasure gets doubled when both partners enjoy it!

Don’t force sex, rather give space : Be it letting the female partner pick and choose the sexual fantasies that they want to duplicate in the bedroom or waiting for her to start liking for your way of sex, which might be wild, wacky, dirty and kinky…men must learn to respect the choice, preference and comfort zones of their ladies. Men often end up treating their women like sex-objects, while they are busy gratifying their own bizarre sexual wants from her. So they should learn to give their partner the required time to develop a liking for what they enjoy, rather help her in the process to bring in mutual pleasure. Do remember that harrowing the partner’s space will only add to your sexual woes.

We love you for what you are : Women are usually blamed for being a tad too conscious about their body image, especially when they are in bed. But, have you ever wondered who makes them so mindful of their appearance? Well, who else than the man himself. Why can’t they let her enjoy the act, rather than forcing her to think about how’s she looking between the sheets. This usually happens when men begin to compare their lady loves with sexy actresses they see in porn flicks. Love her for ‘who she is’ and not for ‘how she looks’, just like she does.
