Is Carrie Prejean Trying to Back Out Of Her Fox News Hosting Stint?

Fox News insiders tell TVNewser Carrie Prejean is having second thoughts about co-hosting Fox & Friends next Wednesday. “Prejean’s people emailed Friday night calling off the deal,” the insider tells us.

Prejean, the reigning Miss California who’s been in the headlines for her stand on gay marriage, is scheduled to fill in for vacationing Gretchen Carlson on Wednesday, May 27.

We hear negotiations continued through the weekend to try and salvage the booking. A Fox News spokesperson tells TVNewser Prejean is “absolutely still hosting.”

Stay tuned.
