Apparently Carrie Prejean Doesn't Follow Larry King On Twitter (Video)

Because if she did follow @kingsthings, she would have seen this tweet prior to last night's show on CNN:

Also tonight the attorney for the suspected Ft. Hood shooter and Carrie Prejean explains her sex tape. It's a 3 topic night!

But things didn't work out that way, as The Huffington Post reports (and as the video below shows):

Carrie Prejean threatened to walk off Larry King Live Tuesday night (WebNewser note: it was Wednesday, not Tuesday), in the middle of her interview with Larry King. Prejean's threats came after King asked the former beauty queen about the reasons behind her recent settlement with the Miss California USA pageant. King asked Prejean why she agreed to strike a deal with the Pageant and drop her claims of libel, slander and religious discrimination. "Why settle since you had a fight to carry on?" King pressed. Prejean demurred. King asked again: "You can't even say why you settled?"

Prejean, visibly displeased, refused to answer: "Larry, it's completely confidential and you're being inappropriate."

The inappropriate issue at hand isn't King's probing question, but the alleged reason why Prejean settled: TMZ reported that she decided to strike a deal only after the lawyer for the Pageant revealed a home-made sex tape of a 17-year-old Prejean.

That wasn't the end of Prejean's dramatics, though. She took off her microphone and threatened to walk off again as King was taking a call from a viewer. Later that night Anderson Cooper reported that Prejean said "she was told she wouldn't have to take any calls from viewers."

Honestly, is Prejean a beauty queen or a drama queen? And what did she think King was going to talk about? The Twitter fail whale?
