Carrie Prejean, Miss California, who was fired yesterday by USA pageant owner Donald Trump and K2 Productions, says she was asked by K2 to pose for Playboy and to appear on NBC’s “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here,” both offers she rejected.

Prejean made her remarks to TMZ. Furthermore, she says her firing was politically motivated because she has taken a public stance against gay marriage.
