Update: Carrie Prejean joined the honorable Larry King tonight on his classic television program, where she proceeded to tell him that he was inappropriate for asking her questions related to her "confidential" lawsuit.
And, again, standing by her statement that she takes full responsibility for her actions as a teenager in making a sex tape for her boyfriend at the time, she also emphasized that she feels humiliated and embarrassed at having to discuss her situation on her current book tour.
The veteran talk show host was visibly perplexed at her repeated accusations that he was fielding inappropriate questions during their interview.
As Mr. King moved on to a telephone caller, Ms. Prejean proceeded to unhook her microphone, and then sit, periodically talking to someone on the side of the stage, stating:
I think that you are being extremely inappropriate right now, and I'm about to leave your show.
They sat in silence for a few seconds (which felt like minutes) and then went to a commercial.
They did, however, return, microphone intact, and continued their conversation with King apologizing, and confirming that she did not want to take phone calls--apparently, the agreement with her publicist was "no phone calls," which was news to the veteran talk show host.
They moved on to what Ms. Prejean would be doing next in her life: promoting her book and spreading her message. The former Miss California USA, in an attempt to spread the message to young women that making a sex tape could be the mistake of their lives, counseled:
Never do anything that you wouldn't want your biggest fans to see or never do anything that, heaven forbid, your dad would see.
She advised young women to learn from her mistakes.

Good for Carrie. The honorable Larry King is the unofficial ambassador of all that is Follywood.
I just don't understand why she would even go there. Larry showed his true colors 7 months ago when he gave Perez Hilton a buddy buddy slap on the back. Never even mentioning Hilton's vile, vulgar outburst. I haven't watched Larry King since then but I may check out the rerun of todays show.
This woman is unbelievable. Poor Larry should have ripped her a new one and cut her off. She refused to answer questions, she was only there to promote her book. She blamed everyone other than herself. I was yelling at the tv for Larry to do to her, what she did to him.
Also don't forget that Larry King and Donald Trump are joined at the hip. Best friends and Larry's not going to let down his buddy.
Lou Dobbs is leaving CNN perhaps Larry should too????
I love it when the hypocrites like Carrie go down. And boy do they go down! Boob implants, nude pictures, sex tape, rude attitude. I am sure she is "holier than thou" though.
Neither Larry King nor his producer knew that the publicist had agreed not to take calls? Really? And the first call attempt was about same-sex marriage. Just by chance.
Nice set up, Larry. You just proved the double-standard allegation of the author's book. And she just enforced the title of her book: Still Standing.
Hearing her rebuke you was perfect! You and woman-hater Hilton should start a new gig: "King and Queen."
So carrie "free speech" prejean loves to talk crap but heaven forbid that anyone else talk bad about her. Poor Larry had to deal with the useless big boobed houlier than though monster. We all knew her true colors would eventually come out. I love watching her on tv though, she makes my day will all her idiocy.
She was fantastic!! That weak old has-been tried to go tabloid on her and she let him have it! Good for her!!
He expected and did his best to intimidate her but, at a ripe old 22 years old, she wasn't having any of it. He was visibly perplexed and sheepishly apologetic.
Make your nay-saying comments about her as you will, but that is one very tough and sharp young lady, implants or no.
Obviously she went on to promote her "book". Carrie Prejean is so unbelievably self-righteous that it truly boggles the mind. She evn went on to say that the sex tape was part of confidential mediation?? This makes no sense!! She should've known he was going to ask her about it.
This is just typical hypocrisy. i guess some people pick and choose what to follow in religion like it was a menu at a drive thru.
i dont get what you people are talking about when you say she did well on the show. she made herself look like a moron and exposed herself as the true phony she is. i really liked the fake smile towards the end, notice how it turned to a sneer.
Wow. I just watched this. Carrie was VERY unprofessional. All she wants are softball questions. It's only what she can handle. Sarah Palin her hero?? That says it all. Both always blame everyone else. They are Pathetic in the worst way.
Well, I watch the repeat of the segment with Carrie. It's the first time I've watched Larry king in the past 7 months. He didn't disappoint. He pushed "The Donalds" point of view and then preceded a relentless attack. This is the first time I've seen a host have someone on who has a book and be so ignorant as to not even touch it. He a rude old left-wing nut case who should retire.
larry king should have told her to leave the interview and not come back!! Instead he let her sit there with that phony smile on her face. When she took the mic off, why didn't she get up and go????? White trash
This stupid little self-righteous B! really P's me off. I cannot understand why anyone stands behind her. She was rude as H! to Larry, for NO REASON. Ugh, it's not even worth blasting her. I hope her book sales are pitiful. I sure as H! won't be buying or reading that trash.
I didn't realize such tame words were considered "inappropriate". Free speech?? Yeah, mm-hmmm.
OldGuy doesn't understand why Prejean would appear on Larry King. Let me help: she's a money grubbing media whore.
I keep reminding myself that she is only 21. She is just a baby. Hopefully she will start walking the walk of what she preaches about family values. So far her actions are not aligned with her rhetoric.
Carrie was ridiculous. Listen, Larry sometimes can't take a hint, I know that, but tonight was just ridiculous. Why did she come on the show? I realize she's promoting a book, but what in the hell did she think would happen? I mean no phone calls? Has she ever watched this show and why would Larry agree to have someone on if there was an agreement like that. Carrie is as ignorant as they come. She came off bad in this deal. She did nothing to show doubters of her in the first place that she can be trusted. Made for good TV though, I'll give it that.
Maybe so, but it worked, I just ordered my copy of the book. Now I never have to watch Larry King again.
She's just as skanky as Paris Hilton!!
I dont know about ya'll, but did any answer that Carrie gave make any freakin sense to anyone? She didnt answer a single question with a straight no bull corn point. Almost felt like Bush was up there dodging questions with vague unintelligent answers. 22 years old? She sounded like an uneducated stripper...oh wait she is!
Okay. If you make a sex tape and get implants and then push this uber-christian conservative view, you BETTER be prepared to answer tough questions! Are you serious? You had sex before marriage[which is actually in the bible] yet preach about other people? It's like someone who has been divorced or cheated being against gay marriage-Hypocrisy at it's finest.
I want to like Carrie but the more she talks, the more she reveals of her hipocrsy. Right at the top of the show Larry says there were claims Carrie Prejean was difficult to work with which she denied. Then she went on to be totally rude, unpleasant, and difficult. She claims responsibility for the sex tape mistake but never answered Larry's question whether she had informed the pagent about the tape. I feel her Palinization is NOT from her pagent answer; that was her opinion. However, she really acted all high and mighty until the real Carrie Prejean was "exposed" 2 X for who she is. Yes, she's not perfect but her downfall was acting like she was.
Good Christian women are getting better and better everyday. Now, show me again how you like it done? OK, I'll just watch the tape. That way, when you have sex for the first time with your husband without birth control, he'll know just how to please you. It sure is fun being a 'good' Christian girl.
Obviously she went on to promote her "book". Carrie Prejean is so unbelievably self-righteous that it truly boggles the mind. She evn went on to say that the sex tape was part of confidential mediation?? This makes no sense!! She should've known he was going to ask her about it.

i dont get what you people are talking about when you say she did well on the show. she made herself look like a moron and exposed herself as the true phony she is. i really liked the fake smile towards the end, notice how it turned to a sneer.
She's about as smart as a box of rocks. Oh, I am sorry for insulting the rocks. That was just the most unprofessional thing that I have ever seen; no wonder the conservatives are starting to abandon her. They want to let that ship sink on its own...
This is quite possibly the dumbest person ever to appear on national television...I had never heard her speak before tonight...but I think >>>DUMB AS A ROCK<<< just about covers it...she wrote a book?.....yeah surrreee...she couldn't fill a matchbook with her thoughts let alone write a book...some role model...
This girl is the perfect example of how UGLY a beautiful woman can be. It's no wonder Sarah Palin is her hero. On a scale of 1-10- Looks: 10/ Personality: NEGATIVE 10-- overall: She's a ZERO! And I hope that's how much her books earns. She's a talentless piece of garbage!
She was the inappropriate one for acting so hostile in that interview. What an arrogant piece of fluff she is.
Carrie Prejean is a hypocrite which is characteristic of a conservative/religious/republican. They want to impose their morality on others while doing whatever they please. & their new tactic seems to be to accuse others of being "inappropriate"
She was fantastic!! That weak old has-been tried to go tabloid on her and she let him have it! Good for her!!

Old Guy: you, sir, are an idiot! You're the only narrow minded, right wingnut to come on and defend the blond bimbo. Take a hint: she is the antichrist! Are you one of her servants?
Why is it that liberals have such a difficult time accepting the fact that a conservative may have made a choice once in the past that they regret? Just because Miss Prejean made a mistake as a young teenager does not mean that she cannot see the error of her ways and try to convince others to make better choices. And the fact that she did not want to discuss the intimate details of probably the most embarrassing moment of her life just shows the lady that she is. As far as the answers she gave being "vague" and "unintelligent”?? Maybe she should just get a teleprompter to read scripted answers that a team put together for her. Hey it works for the guy in the White house.
She's one ugly woman. And it isn't because of her looks. Shallow, transparent, hypocritical, ignorant and filthy.
