Vanessa Williams and "biblically correct" Miss California have both had their reputations tarnished by nudie pics in their past -- but according to the "Ugly Betty" star, it's pageantry in general that's damaging to one's credibility.
Williams was on "Larry King Live" last night, and when Carrie Prejean's name came up, she blasted beauty pageants as a whole -- calling them a "setback" to anyone trying to be a "serious artist."
Here's "Hannah Montana" sensation Miley Cyrus (left) -- and former Miss America and "Ugly Betty" star Vanessa Williams (right). One of them is a 45-year-old African-American woman.
Cameron Diaz was blaring her horn on the pappers -- but she should have listened to 'em, they were warning her she's a scofflaw for talking on a cell phone.
Also in L.A.: Vanessa Williams worked on the new Hannah Montana flick, Miley talked about Jamie Lynn's baby, Mama Spears met back up with Brit, Paris was heckled about her horrific past in film and Pauly Shore said goodbye ... for now, but he just won't live.
In NY: Brooke Hogan gave us a look that could kill when we asked about her incarcerated bro, Ethan Hawke was gangbanged after walking past Madge's building and Greasy Bear was just gross.
Eva Longoria opened her new restaurant Beso last night -- taking steps toward securing her future when "Desperate Housewives" goes off the air, and she can't find work.
Also out in L.A.: Mario "AC Slater" Lopez, Nicolette Sheridan, Kyle MacLachlan, Michael Rapaport and William H. Macy attended Eva's watering hole. Jonah Hill shopped on Robertson, Lauren Conrad celebrated her birthday, and Rebecca Romijn and Vanessa WIlliams looked smoking hot in Hollywood.
