Wednesday, Donald Trump defended a series of controversial lingerie photos taken of Miss USA contestants. The photos were released this week to promote the Miss USA pageant that will air Sunday night.

Miss USA contestants have been disciplined in the past when sexy photos were released. Carrie Prejean lost her Miss USA crown over topless photos that surfaced. Miss USA pageant officials have said that the photos are tasteful, and Donald Trump called them "a little bit sexy," and called the women’s photos beautiful.

In the Larry King interview that can be seen below with some of the lingerie photos. Two former Miss USA contestants battle over if the photos are tasteful, one agrees and one doesn’t. Larry King also speaks to Donald Trump about the controversy that has arisen over the photos being released. Donald Trump is clearly proud of the photos and the promotion; he feels that the photos will do exactly what they intended it to do…which is have more Miss USA pageant viewers.

The second video below shows a few short clips of the Fadil Berisha photo shoot in Las Vegas.

Miss Utah, Katya Dmitrievna Feinstein from Centerville will compete in the Miss USA pageant Sunday night.

    Carrie Prejean was never crowned Miss USA -- she was the girl who spoke out against same-sex marriage and was runner-up. I think there was a scandal of some sort later about some photos, but she did not lose her crown -- she never had it.

    I do think its too much and over the top there are plenty of young girls that idolize these women...they should work a little harder to just say no ty I'll stick with clothing thats meant to be seen by the general public such as bathing suits regardless to how much they cover its still public apparel lingerie is not.....the photos are not classy, the shots were taken in hotel rooms on beds all which are pointing to sex.
