Donald Trump to Miss California: You're Fired!

Carrie Prejean deposed for violating her contract for failing to get permission to endorse outside organizations

Carrie Prejean just ran out of second chances.

The embattled Miss California, a controversy-magnet for her outspoken opposition to gay marriage, has been forced to turn over her tiara after ticking off Donald Trump one time to many.

In a just-released statement Trump and Miss California Pageant organizers say that Prejean has been fired for violating her contract—specifically for lending her famous face to outside organizations without getting permission from her handlers.

"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," said Trump. "Unfortunately it just doesn’t look like it is going to happen.

"Carrie is a beautiful young woman and I wish her well as she pursues her other interests."
