    BEIJING, Nov. 12 (Xinhuanet) -- Donald Trump, the head of the Miss USA Organization, has slated ex-beauty queen Carrie Prejean saying she "should be ashamed of herself" after topless pictures of her emerged recently. Trump also disputes the claim Prejean makes in her book, "Still Standing: The Untold Story of My Fight Against Gossip, Hate, and Political Attacks", that he divided up pageant contestants based on looks.

    "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 commented on Prejean's confirmation that she made an erotic tape for an ex-boyfriend. Carrie calls the tape the "biggest mistake of my life." But Trump retorts, "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."

    He puts the whole thing down to a big publicity stunt saying, "She's trying to sell a book...She's doing the best she can... I can't imagine too many people would be interested in it, but you never know what sells these days."
