Carrie Prejean update

OK, now that Carrie Prejean has confirmed the existence of the now notorious mobile phone 'sex tape' I guess it's only natural, if disappointing, that people out there will want to seek it out and view it. As far as I'm aware, it hasn't leaked, but I really need to sound a note of caution to anyone who does view it should it enter the public domain...

CARRIE MADE THE VIDEO WHEN SHE WAS 17 YEARS OLD. IF YOU WATCH IT, YOU'RE DOWNLOADING AND/OR VIEWING WHAT IS, LEGALLY SPEAKING, CHILD PORN.

On a more positive note it's heartening to see that in recent days there's been growing online support for Carrie. Rick Ellis at AllYourTV.com is on the opposite side of the gay marriage debate to Carrie, but he's no fan of the way she's been attacked. Neither is Tommy Christopher at Mediaite.com.

Jane Tucker at UKMedix Health News suggests that much of the hatred directed at Carrie is driven by her physical perfection.

Even TMZ.com, the website which sparked the latest controversy is doing Carrie a favour, revealing evidence that Donald Trump did indeed influence who went through in the Miss USA pageant, as Carrie claims in her book.

Carrie herself has given an in-depth interview to Christianity Today.

Finally, here's Carrie talking about her experiences on The View...
