Well, it's good to hear some good news in the wake of yesterday's disappointing elections. Former Miss California USA, Carrie "opposite Marriage" Prejean has been embroiled in a lawsuit against the Miss California USA Pageant. The former beauty queen turned Christianist stooge sued the Pageant folks for slander, libel, religious discrimination, public disclosure of private facts and infliction of emotional distress in the wake of her anti-gay marriage remarks during last years pageant.

E! Online reported Tuesday that a settlement had been reached with both parties agreing not to disclose the terms.

Once again TMZ comes through with the gory details:

"Carrie Prejean demanded more than a million dollars during her settlement negotiations with Miss California USA Pageant officials -- that is, until the lawyer for the Pageant showed Carrie an XXX home video

of her handiwork.

The video the lawyer showed Carrie is extremely graphic and has never been released publicly. We know that, because TMZ obtained the video months ago but decided not to post it because it was so racy. Let's just say, Carrie has a promising solo career.

We're told it took about 15 seconds for Carrie to jettison her demand and essentially walk away with nothing. As we first reported, the Pageant is paying around $100,000 to her lawyers

and publicist -- a fraction of her bills. She pockets nothing in the settlement."

Ahhh... it feels good to be alive and gay again.
