Morning Links: Seven more sex tapes and 30 nude photos of Carrie Prejean said to exist
Former Miss California USA Carrie Prejean made seven more sex tapes and 30 more nude photos that have surfaced, according to RadarOnline. Prejean has said she made just a single sex tape and sent it to one boyfriend. Vivid Entertainment, the world's largest porn film company, has a copy of the tape and would love to release it, says TMZ, but needs Prejean's approval to do so. "Good luck with that," TMZ says. In an interview with Christianity Today, Prejean answered the interviewer's question about the sex tape she made, rather than falling back on the scolding she gave a dumbfounded Larry King when he asked the same question. She said, "Everything that was discussed in mediation was confidential. There is a video out there of me. I was really young and immature. It was the worst mistake of my life. It was a really stupid, stupid decision that I made. But I take full responsibility for it. ... I think we all make mistakes and we all do things when we're young that sometimes backfire later in life. I give advice to younger girls in my book because I've learned a lot since I was 16 or 17 years old." The man she sent the video to says she was 20 when she made it, and he has been pressured to say she was several years younger.
In the same interview, Prejean says she is sure that her breast implants are OK with God. She says, "I don't think there's anything wrong with getting breast implants as a Christian. I think it's a personal decision. I don't see anywhere in the Bible where it says you shouldn't get breast implants."

She told pet psychic Sonya Fitzpatrick that she got Misty "because I wanted another child or something to love. And I got the dog."

Lindsay Lohan will probably take her business elsewhere besides the Crown Bar in Los Angeles, which insisted that the hard-partying starlet pay for the expensive champagne she and a friend grabbed off the shelves. An onlooker told People.comthat rehab veteran Lohan, 23, cause a scene she when asked to pay for her drinks. "Lindsay stormed into the kitchen and grabbed two bottles of really expensive champagne. She finished both bottles with a friend. When the bartender gave her a bill, she had a meltdown," says the source. "She was yelling at him and screaming profanities at everyone. The bar insisted she pay, so she had to call a friend with her credit-card information." The onlooker said that when she left the club at 2:30 a.m., "She was crying and wanted to go home. She kept saying 'I don't pay for drinks! This is ridiculous! I'm freaking out!' " Still unsolved is the mysterious disappearanceof some $400,000 worth of jewelry last seen on LiLo during an Elle photoshoot, or how Lindsay ended up with a stranger's one-of-a-kind mink coat that she was forced to return after the owner saw a photo of her wearing it back in 2007.
Two couples that have been in the spotlight lately appeared in public over the weekend, and the body language spoke volumes.
