Miss California Carrie Prejean

Miss California, Carrie Prejean, has been under fire ever since she competed in the Miss USA pageant last month. Anti-gay marriage comments during the competition drew and, in the eyes of some observers, may have been what cost her that title. She wound up as runner-up to Miss North Carolina.

On Monday, Miss California officials said she could keep the title, pending final word expected Tuesday morning from Donald Trump, owner of the Miss USA pageant.

Fans are wondering whether Trump will utter the phrase attached to him forever by the show, "The Apprentice": "You're fired!"

Under the headline, "Oops, She Did It Again!," TMZ has photos of Prejean topless.

"These pics," TMZ says, "were taken just last year -- meaning Carrie was the ripe ol' LEGAL age of 20."

In a radio interview, reports CBS News correspondent Bianca Solorzano, Prejean says that, when the gay marriage question put to her during the Miss USA competition, " I felt Satan was trying to tempt me with this question. But God was in my head and my heart saying, "Carrie, do not compromise this."

Co-executive director Keith Lewis said, "Up until now, we have just been riding along pretty much a passenger on this runaway train. As of today, that ends."

In the meantime, Solorzano points out, local officials in California are already embracing the embattled Prejean's runner-up, giving her some of the title-holder's official duties.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE.

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump plans to make an announcement regarding Miss California USA Carrie Prejean (pray-ZHAHN').

Trump, who owns the Miss USA pageant, will make the announcement Tuesday at Trump Tower in New York City.

The 21-year-old Prejean failed to reveal before last month's Miss USA pageant that she had posed in her underwear as a teenager.

She also sparked controversy when she answered a judge's question by saying she believes marriage should be between only a man and a woman.
