Carrie met the strapping 6′4″ athlete at a party in Las Vegas in August 2008, shortly after Phelps won a record nine gold medals at the Summer Olympics in Beijing.

The bizarre baby plan was cooked up by Carrie’s equally-deranged mother, Francine, who urged the ex-Miss California and Miss USA runner-up to get knocked up by the pot-puffin’ Phelps. Motivated by Michael’s millions, Francine allegedly tried convincing her stunning 22-year-old daughter that if she became pregnant and slammed the nine-time gold medalist with a massive paternity suit, their family would be able to continously tap into the money the champion swimmer earns in endorsements.

“She had said to Carrie that she thought she should get pregnant by Michael Phelps — that she’d be set for life,” Francine’s friend Valerie Vetrano revealed in an interview with RadarOnline last week.

Carrie’s response to the suggestion? An frustrated: “Oh, mom….”

That’s unlikely. Prejean maintains she was only 17 when she sent footage of herself in various states of undress while masturbating to a former boyfriend; although said boyfriend says the now 22-year-old was well out of her teens when she sent him the vids. This week, the blonde’s attorney, Charles LiMandri, mailed a letter over to the folks at Vivid, who now own the rights to the X-rated material, threatening to sue the studio if any video or photos of Carrie in a compromisng position make their way to the public.

According to TMZ.com, Vivid Entertainment — the company behind the Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian sex tapes — claims to have the complete legal rights for the copy it has and plans to release it, but would like to have Prejean’s nod before making the X-rated footage public.

The sex tape episode began when a lawyer for Miss California USA pageant officials, who Prejean recently dragged to court for religious discrimination, produced a copy of the steamy videotape during settlement negotiations. The self-appointed moral matyr promptly dropped her $1 million when she saw the tape and soon arrived at a settlement.

On Friday, RadarOnline.com reported that seven other raunchy tapes of the former pageant queen have emerged along with 30 additional nude snaps. Carrie, who claims she was 17 when she made the video in question, calls the tape “the biggest mistake of my life.”

In a new interview with evangelical publication Christianity Today, the ousted pageant queen argues that her breast implants don’t conflict with her hyped Christian faith because the Holy Bible doesn’t prohibit followers from going under the knife.

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with getting breast implants as a Christian,” Prejean, 22, told the magazine. “I don’t see anywhere in the Bible where it says you shoudn’t get breast implants.”

Prejean — who recently penned her memoir, Still Standing —was ejected from her Miss California throne in June after she shot to fame for her controversial anti-gay marriage answer during the interview portion at the Miss USA pageant last April.

Since her ejection from the Miss USA organization, a so-called solo sex tape of Prejean — as well as a rumored collection of some 30-plus nude photos and other sexy footage — has emerged.

Jesus would not be pleased.

RadarOnline.com is reporting that there are as many as nude photos and eight sex tapes of the right-wing former Miss California floating around out there.

Tempers flared between the ladies of The View on Thursday morning as the gals cackled about Carrie Prejean’s controversial appearance on Larry King Live last night. In case you missed it, the former Miss California — and recently-outed amateur porn star — removed her microphone and threatened to walk off the show after Larry asked her why she settled a lawsuit with pageant organizers.

This pigeon….

Carrie ripped off her microphone and threatened to storm off the set. Watch as the drama unfolds!

The dethoned Miss California also defended the sex tape she made “doing very graphic things to her body.”
Prejean admits the recording is real and takes “complete responsibility” for the tape she filmed at 17.

“There’s a video out there of me that I sent to my boyfriend at the time. And it was for private use. But does that justify my actions? No. And I take complete responsibility for the decisions that I made when I was a teenager. And I’ve learned a lot from it,” she explained.

“It’s so important to realize that nothing is private anymore. I’m not perfect, and I’ve made mistakes, and I have learned from it. But I think that the biggest thing is that you own up to it, you take responsibility, and you just move forward.”

Donald Trump is fuming over claims former Miss California USA Carrie Prejean made about him and his Miss USA Organization in her new book, Still Standing: The Untold Story of My Fight Against Gossip, Hate, and Political Attacks. The tycoon takes particular offense at the claim that he divided pageant contestants based on looks.

“Carrie should be ashamed of herself,” Donald blabbed to Extra on Tuesday. “Certainly I would never do a thing like that, because it would be too hurtful. I don’t stand the ones that are less attractive to one side, and the beautiful ones on the other side. It was total nonsense — it was fiction in her imagination… I don’t even know how she came up with an idea like that.”

Trump also had a mouthful about the X-rated video Carrie claims she shot for a boyfriend several years ago:

“She’s trying to act like she’s a nun… so maybe she should release the sex tape and people would see whether or not she is a nun…”

Check out what happened when the former Miss California came face-to-face with the ladies of The View on Tuesday.

Prejean calls the sex tape she made for an ex-boyfriend several years ago “the biggest mistake of my life.” The blonde claims she shot the erotic video of herself alone when she was 17 and later sent it to a boyfriend.

“It was for private use, but does that justify what I did? No. It was the biggest mistake of my life.”

Prejean lost her Miss Californnia crown in June. She believes she was fired because of her opposition to same sex marriage. Pageant organizers said she was skipping official events.
