VIVID AND CARRIE PREJEAN  -- FOREVER JOINED


As the history of pop culture is written it is likely that Vivid Entertainment will be forever linked with Carrie Prejean, who reigned briefly as Miss California USA until she was stripped of her title because of insensitive remarks about gays.  

The pairing of the two names began in May 2009 when Carrie became a candidate to become Miss USA.  Controversy over her suitability erupted during the beauty pageant when she gave a dismissive answer to a question about gay marriage. The pop culture media had a field day with the story. Vivid reacted to the headlines by offering her $1-million to star in a movie for the studio.  The offer created its own media storm, led with coverage by TMZ.com.

Then it was recently discovered that Carrie had produced her own sex footage, sending TV reporters and bloggers almost over the edge, with non-stop coverage and speculation.  Noting that ?we now know that Carrie is comfortable having sex before the cameras,? Vivid co-chairman and founder Steven Hirsch renewed his offer to her, raising a new storm of coverage.  

Vivid then obtained the actual sex footage made by Carrie and Steven Hirsch told the world that he was ready to make a deal with her.  The flood of media coverage on this development this time seemed unstoppable. Thousands of websites, hundreds of newspaper gossip columns, and appearances by Steven appearing on TMZ.com, ?The Insider,? ?Inside Edition,? Show Biz Today/CNN and other programs became the norm.   

Shauna Sand-Lamas, star of Vivid?s Shauna Sand Exposed also decided to write to Carrie about her own experience with Vivid and offered to talk to her one-on-one to help her make up her mind.  When her letter was posted on TMZ.com it created a new rush of coverage. 

It seems the link between Carrie and Vivid gets stronger by the minute.
