Carrie Prejean, the controversial Miss California who opposes gay marriage, has something to get off her chest: The Miss California pageant officials paid for her breast implants. Alright, Prejean didn’t make the admission herself; rather, it was co-executive director Shanna Moakler who told Billy Bush that she and her colleagues had agreed to foot the bill for Prejean’s cosmetic surgery. “It was something that we all spoke about together … It was an option and she wanted it. And we supported that decision.” Moakler also pointed out that Prejean is not the only beauty queen to have augmentation: "Breast implants in pageants is not a rarity. It’s definitely not taboo. It’s very common."

Since the Miss USA competition, when she said she thinks marriage is between a man and a woman, Prejean has become a right-wing darling and is playing a central role in a commercial for the National Organization for Marriage, which we’ve included below.

While she’s talking to the conservative set, Prejean is apparently avoiding pageant officials. Said Moakler, according to MSNBC:

We’ve tried really hard [to get in contact] and she keeps referring us to her mother and her PR person. That’s also sad for me … because, you know, there’s no hate here. I don’t hate Carrie Prejean. I supported her and I still stand behind her.
