Celebrity site TMZ says yes and CNN, last night, said a source with knowledge of the settlement confirmed it.

TMZ Managing Editor Harvey Levin claimed in a Wednesday webcast that the tape, which he said features just Prejean, was too graphic for their taste. <\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Inserted from <CBS<\/a>><\/p>\n Let me make one thing clear. If Carrie Prejean, or anyone else for that matter, wants to make a sex tape, I could care less. That\u2019s her business, not mine. My bone of contention is that she engaged in this behavior at the same time that she presented herself as a paragon of virtue, a holy victim of discrimination over her religious beliefs, all the while trying to impose the conduct demanded in those beliefs on others. I object to her hypocrisy, not her peccadilloes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Carrie Prejean, darling of the LGBT intolerance set and frequent window dressing on Faux Noise had dropped her lawsuit against Miss California USA.

<\/a> LOS ANGELES (CBS\/AP) Did the legal battle between former Miss California USA Carrie Prejean and pageant organizers suddenly conclude because organizers presented Prejean with a sex tape starring the religiously devout beauty queen? <\/font><\/p>\n<\/a> Apparently the lawyers for the pageant ambushed Carrie during negotiations at which all parties were present. When they played the tape allegedly depicting auto-eroticism, she objected that it was disgusting. Then the camera panned to her face. OOPS!! That was the end of that lawsuit. It is also probably the end of Carries career assisting the religious right in forcing their piety codes down the throats of those who do not share their view. Carrie was scheduled as the featured speaker at the New Jersey Family Council\u2019s Defenders of the Family award and fund raising event. This group organized to oppose equal protection under the law for LGBT people. Carrie was not present at last night\u2019s event.<\/p>\n
