Miss USA -- Not All Topless Photos Are Equal

There's another reigning beauty queen who took some very topless photos before she won her pageant -- but unlike Carrie Prejean, Miss Rhode Island USA's crown was never ever in jeopardy.



According to Alysha Castonguay, she dropped her top for a Maxim magazine shoot and a few swimsuit calenders way before her competition -- but there was no controversy over the pics because they were all seen and approved by the Miss USA pageant officials.

But Alysha tells TMZ she feels for Miss Cali saying, "I personally believe this situation is stemming from the controversy over her opinion and not a photo."

The final decision on dethroning Carrie Prejean is still being deliberated by the Miss USA and Miss California officials.

62. First off Miss California lost so why are we still talking about her? She is the same as Octomom--famous for being a dumb*** and making stupid decisions that the media can mock.

The other side of it is--unless you pose for Playboy or some other quasi-respected magazine where the pictures are copyrighted and the images somewhat protected from unwanted distribution then its your own damn fault when your "sexting" pictures come back to haunt you and some a**hole posts them for everyone on the internet to see.

That and she should know by now that ANYTIME an opinion is spoken in a public forum where you say you are moral or christian or religious or republican the media is going to chop at the bit to attack you with whatever skeleton you have in your closet no matter if you forgot about it or not.

I guess overall I am just sick of the whole thing---women/teenagers taking pictures of themselves naked and then claiming they were not aware of the consequences or that suddenly they were raised in a moral/christian household. It's like first off your parents--regardless of their religious affiliation should have told you taking naked pictures of yourself was not a smart idea and second they should have told you to expect judges in a beauty contest to ask you questions designed to make you look like a dumba*** or embarrass you because DUH you are in a beauty pagent--not running for President or doing something important where your answer/opinion is really wanted for anything other than to prove the whole notion that you are a pagent contestent and therefore an idiot.

Okay now I will hop off my soap box.

63. It's not just about the comment or the pics, she lied, MULTIPLE TIMES. She said there was only one picture, which now we know there are atleast two and TMZ claims to have been sent 4. She signed a contract saying she had NEVER posed semi nude. She isn't going to the things she is supposed to being Miss CA. She opts instead to carry out her own agenda. She isn't living up to her responsibility and needs to be replaced. I hope Trump makes the right decision on this one!

64. How "low" can this Perez (whatever) get. He is a deeply, deeply disturbed whatever.

Someone in his camp that has great influence on this pagent orginazation has started this mess.

I feel that the girl is entitled to her opinion. I don't believe whole-heartly in his view-point, however, it's a feeling. These pictures were taken at a very early age.

It just goes to show how sick this Perez really is. He needs to see a professional asap. At this point of his life, it might be too late.

65. That dumb blonde skeezer should have used her brain and simply told them about the pic. This wouldnt even be an issue. I hope all you homophobes get raped by the people of the opposite sex. Roughly raped.

66. I hope they do take Cali's crown away from her.

It's just more fuel for the fire building against political correctness. Go ahead, take it away.

68. I am absolutely convinced that there would've been no problem, no possible chance of losing her crown even with the photos, if Carrie had not given her HONEST OPINION on gay marriage.The hetrophopic directors of Miss California USA are trying to FORCE their views on the rest of the country!

69. Miss California is just like Anita Bryant. Lets all pray for her that she will se the error of her ways.

70. Why do folks keep insisting that Prejean "lied" about her photo's?...
Are you taking the word of Shanna "Can't keep a man" Moakler on this issue?...
What makes you so sure the officials were not aware of their existence?...Because Shanna and Perez say so?...
Face it, it is Shanna Moaklers job as an official to make sure EVERYTHING about their candidate is in line with the rules BEFORE they enter her into any competition...
So, either Shanna didn't do HER job, or she's lying to save face...

71. The difference here is the Prejean LIED to pagent officials about her pics and said there weren't any. Where the Rhode Island girl was HONEST and upfront about hers. So Prejean must GO.

72. I agree, Miss California is being vitimized by intolerant gays and a too liberal media.

Who is victimizing whom? If these dopey church people would mind their p's and q's and stay out of other peoples lives then the gay commounity wouldn't have to feel the need to stand up for equal rights. I could care less if two men or two women marry. It doesn't affect my husband and I at all. I have no doubt that God doesn't give a rat's ass either.

74. So now the Democrat party is official on record as being against titties?

Gee, what a switch from the position they took when Janet Jackson exposed her tits on purpose on national television during a Superbowl game.,

75. "Ah,, once again the radical homosexual agenda of bigotry, hate, discrimination, intolerance, mean spiritedness, Christian bashing and homosexist heterophobia rears its ugly, bigoted head against Prejean."

What because she lied on her contract about topless photos taken before the competition that constitutes a clear violation of pageant rules?

So she lies about it, gets nailed, and the gays are the bad guys? I'm sorry. I'm guessing that thinking before writing isn't one of your strong suits.
