Carrie Prejean's "disappointed" she no longer has that sparkly crown -- but the ex-Miss California isn't pissed at The Donald for telling her she's fired.

The "biblically correct" former beauty queen was on FOX News last night (natch), where she said she respects Trump as a business man and believes he was just caught in the middle -- and she was the easiest person to get rid of.

UPDATE: We learned Carrie just received her letter of termination. She is officially out.
We've learned "biblically correct" Carrie Prejean will lose her Miss California USA crown today because she doesn't play well with others.
Sources connected with the pageant tell us even Donald Trump has now had it with Carrie, because she's violating her contract by not getting clearance to do her extracurricular stuff.
We're also told Carrie has been a no-show for appearances she was supposed to make for the pageant organization.
The firing, we're told, is strictly based on Carrie breaching her contract. It's not based on her political and moral views.
Carrie is getting her walking papers this afternoon.
The new Miss California USA will be Miss Malibu Tami Farrell.

Miss California USA Carrie Prejean fired a slew of nasty, contentious emails to the folks who run Miss CA USA before she got the ax.
For example, on May 29, Carrie wrote: "You do not cooperate with me, and you pick and chose [sic] the the [sic] things YOU want me to do. That is not happening anymore. Stop speaking for me. I have MY own voice."
That flies in the face of another email to a pageant official -- also dated May 29 -- in which she wrote: "Also I was asked to fill in for a dj on a local radio show.. I'll be reading from a show biz script Monday. I am doing this."
There are other emails as well, in which "biblically correct" Carrie made it clear she had contempt for pageant officials and planned to do what she wants to do.
Guess who had the last laugh?

Former Miss California USA Carrie Prejean's lawyer says he definitely didn't see this coming.
Attorney Charles LiMandri tells us, "This is a shock to me. I have emails tied to the Trump organization as recently as 2 days ago, citing future appearance requests."
LiMandri says Carrie appeared on behalf of the pageant last Sunday in Las Vegas at a jewelry store. He says "everyone was pleased with Carrie's appearance," adding "There's been nothing she's been asked to do that she's turned down."

The Miss Universe Organization just told us they've fired off a cease and desist letter to the National Organization for Marriage -- after NOM used footage from the Miss USA 2009 pageant in an anti-gay marriage commercial.
The commercial -- which is currently still playing on NOM's website -- uses Carrie Prejean's pageant response to the gay marriage question as a selling point for the ad.
This doesn't mean the MUO is taking sides on the issue -- just saying NOM can't use the copyrighted material to promote their agenda.
Story developing...
