At least one Calfornia wildfire will be put out on Monday.

Shanna Moakler
and Keith Lewis, co-directors of the Miss California U.S.A. pageant, are holding a press conference Monday morning to announce the fate of controversial crown holder Carrie Prejean.

Officials are in talks with the 21-year-old beauty queen's reps to determine whether she should keep the coveted tiara due to possible contract violations stemming from public appearances with same-sex marriage opponents and for failing to disclose sexy underwear ads taken as a teen.

Miss U.S.A. contest owner Donald Trump will ultimately be the one to decide if she will be stripped of her title. Prejean was also named first runner up at the Miss U.S.A pageant on April 19.

In what could point to which way they're leaning, Tami Farrell, first runner-up in the Miss California contest, will also attend Monday's press conference.
