As THG readers know, we've taken pleasure in mocking Carrie Prejean throughout her ridiculous ordeal with the Miss California pageant.

But even we had grown tired of this story, were happy to report that the two sides reached a settlement this week and were excited to move on to other items, such as the incredible Robsten spread in Harper's Bazaar.

However, Carrie is clearly the hypocritical gift that keeps on giving. TMZ reports the reason why the disgraced beauty queen was so quick to settle (for no money) with pageant officials:

Because their lawyers produced a homemade Prejean sex tape into evidence.

Carrie Prejean supporters were right all along: this photo is nothing, especially when compared to the sex tape Prejean filmed of herself.

The video depicts Prejean pleasuring herself. TMZ claims it actually saw footage from it months ago, but didn't publish it due to the graphic nature.

Once Carrie was made aware of her solo exploits possibly going public, she backed away from the negotiating table. Pageant officials will foot the $100,000 bill for her attorney and publicist, but the Jesus-loving porn star gets nothing.

Her book, however, hits stores this month. Insiders say a rumored title for Still Standing had been Carrie Prejean: Gay Marriage Sucks, I Swallow.
