Carrie Prejean is shifting the blame for those topless modeling photos she took back in the day -- now she claims our "culture" is the real problem ... not just "the wind."
In her new "tell-all" book, Carrie dedicates an entire passage to bitch about "pornography," writing:
"Unfortunately, pornography has become mainstreamed -- it rushes at us through big screens, portable screens; soft-core porn is on mainstream TV cable stations, hard-core porn is just a mouse click away on the internet, and the envelope of what seems acceptable seems to get pushed farther and farther as more and more people are exposed to this material.
The result is that girls grow up in a culture where it is hard to have an innocent, healthy, normal view of themselves, how they should behave, how they should act, and how they should dress."
Carrie then addresses the topless pics directly, and states, "Our bodies are temples of the Lord. We should earn respect and admiration for our hearts, not for showing skin to look sexy ... I have since learned that your outer beauty can only get you so far in life."
Amen.

Good news for the Slovenes -- a judge has cleared the way for them to feast their eyes on Michael Jackson's autobiography, Moonwalk.
Michael's estate had asked the court for permission to publish the book in various countries throughout the world -- and now, they got their wish.
In court docs, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, the judge approved publication of the book in the following countries -- Sweden, Norway, Italy, Spain, Japan and of course, Slovenia.
Congrats Slovenes -- just don't spoil the ending.

The court in the Michael Jackson probate case just authorized the special administrators to enter into proposed book publishing agreements.
The deal on the table involves a reprint of Jackson's autobiography, "Moonwalk," with Shaye Arehart Books for U.S. and Canadian publishing rights, Michel Lafon for publishing rights in France, Heyne for publishing rights in Germany, and Heinemann for publishing rights in the United Kingdom.
UPDATE: 2:44 PM PT: How's this for brutal honesty? The documents state, "The Special Administrators believe that it is in the best interest of the Estate for all book publishing agreements to be entered as soon as possible, as sales of the book and profits for the estate will be maximized the sooner the book is released due to the notoriety surrounding Michael Jackson's unexpected death and the resulting heightened demand for such products."
Story developing...
