...lose because she doesn't believe in gay marriage. She lost because she's a dumb b____.' Gossip blogger and Miss USA judge PEREZ HILTON, ranting online about Miss California, Carrie Prejean, who claims she "lost the crown" because of her response to Hilton's question during the pageant about gay marriage; Prejean said only a man and a woman should...
...heard you are a beauty queen! Can you tell us a bit about the experience? With very little scholarship money available for graduate school, I decided to try pageants on the advice of a college friend who had partially financed her medical school education with her winnings.

It might appease our restless animal spirits for a time; biologists have found that receiving an apology affects blood chemistry, slows the heart rate and calms our breathing - all much needed at a moment of national fibrillation. Chimpanzees apologize, or at least...
