Carrie Prejean's troubles are bubbling up again, as a "Christian-focused" PR firm the former Miss California hired to help her project a "Biblically correct" image is suing her for $64,857 in allegedly unpaid bills. Prejean hired the Texas company, A. Larry Ross Communications, to do damage control following her bruising public battle with gay blogger and Miss America judge Perez Hilton over her opposition to gay marriage, and after the release on the internet of photos showing her topless. Is Prejean trying to cheat her former helpers, or are liberal bloggers exploiting a garden variety business spat to bash the conservative beauty queen?

Prejean's hypocrisy is appalling: Carrie Prejean's hypocrisy is hardly shocking any more, says Sara Goodman at Pierce Mattie Public Relations' website. This is the woman who, after posing for topless photos and making a solo sex tape for a boyfriend, presented herself to the world as a pillar of Christian values. "Pretty please," Carrie, "with an extra Amen on top, just practice what you preach. And pay your bills."
