miss california usa pageant

Shanna Moakler, a former Miss USA, resigned as co-executive director of the Miss California USA pageant on Wednesday.

She said she no longer believes in the organization because of pageant owner Donald Trump's decision to allow Carrie Prejean, the state's controversial title holder keep her crown.

The fate of Miss California, Carrie Prejean, is apparently to be decided on Monday, based on the fact that the Miss California USA Pageant has scheduled a news conference on Monday in Beverly Hills to discuss the controversy surrounding her.

Miss California USA pageant officials appear close to announcing if they will strip Carrie Prejean of her crown because of her lingerie photos and same-sex marriage statements.
