Decrowned former Miss California title holder Carrie Prejean, 22, has a new interview in Star Magazine in which she promotes her upcoming book, Still Standing. Carrie says that she’s not doing Celebrity Apprentice as has been rumored, and she also breaks one of the cardinal rules of dating - she goes on at length about how great her new boyfriend is and how cute their children will be. Carrie is dating quarterback Kyle Boller, 28, of the St. Louis Rams. Her comments about Boller are sure to make the guy hesitate a little, even if he is gung-ho about her. Guys are funny that way, especially athletes who are surrounded by teammates teasing the crap out of them for having clingy girlfriends.

Give us the scoop on Kyle
I could see myself marrying him. When I met him, I just felt like he was amazing. I knew he was perfect for me! We’ve talked about getting married. I think we’d have cute kids, and they’d be pretty athletic. But no pageant girls! He’s 28; I know I’m a lot younger, but I definiely know what I want.

Is it true you’re going to be on The Celebrity Apprentice - and how has your relationship with Donald Trump been since he fired you as Miss California?
I don’t think I would do Celebrity Apprentice right now - maybe later. But I do have respect for Donald Trump, and I know he was put in the middle of everything.

Tell us about your book, Still Standing.
It’s coming out in November, and I’m so excited! I want people to get to know the real me. I will talk all about my childhood - the way I was raised, why I said what I said. It’s about freedom of speech and not hating anyone. It’s not about me hating gay people - it’s not about that at all. I saw something in a story the other day that said, ‘gay-hating Carrie,’ and that’s disturbing . People can be so ignorant. How can I be called a gay hater if all I said was that I believe in traditional marriage. I’ll also talk about pageants and what has gone on since then. What’s nice is that now people know me simply as Carrie. Not Miss USA. I’m proud I can be me.”

Carrie has of course sued the Miss California pageant, citing defamation and religious discrimination in their firing of her. Many people have suggested that it’s a desperate ditch for attention after the controversy died down, and that she doesn’t have a legal leg to stand on. Miss Universe co-director Keith Lewis has since released more really obnoxious e-mails Carrie sent him, including an all-caps rant informing Lewis she would no longer work him in March, over a month before Prejean’s controversial answer at the Miss USA pageant in April:

The problems between Prejean and Miss California escalated to such a level that the 22-year-old severed all ties with her state team several weeks prior to the April 19 national pageant, according a March 9 e-mail exchange in which Prejean wrote (in all caps) to Miss California co-director Keith Lewis:

I WILL NOT BE VERBALLY AND EMOTIONALLY ABUSED ANYMORE BY ANY OF YOU. I HAVE A COMPETITION TO PREPARE FOR. I WILL NO LONGER BE DEALING WITH ANYONE WHO IS GOING TO BRING ME DOWN AT THIS POINT. I WILL ONLY SURROUND MYSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO MAKE ME HAPPY. AND RIGHT NOW, THAT IS NONE OF YOU. I WILL SEE YOU ALL IN APRIL. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME AT ALL FROM THIS POINT FORWARD.

“Our differences began in January,” Lewis told Foxnews.com. “Carrie became a challenge. She wanted everyone to jump through hoops for her, but she wasn’t willing to cooperate. She is very good at receiving, but not at giving. We were very patient with Carrie, but she wasn’t following … her contract.”

Carrie’s lawsuit isn’t going anywhere, but at least she has that “amazing” boyfriend to fall back on. It looks like she also needs some good girlfriends to remind her not to gush to the press about him. No one is telling her to watch anything else she says to the press, though, and she often makes ridiculous statements that don’t do much for her cause.
