Beauty queen Carrie Prejean, who ignited a furore at the Miss USA pageant by taking a stand against gay marriage, has been fired as Miss California for violating her contract, officials said.

Prejean, who nearly lost her Miss California crown last month following the same-sex marriage flap and revelations that she had posed topless at age 17, failed to fulfill her duties, a pageant spokesman said.

Miss USA pageant owner Donald Trump decided to fire Prejean a month after he gave her a second chance.
