Vivid Entertainment Group, the world's leading adult film studio, has offered Carrie Prejean, the reigning Miss California, and first runner up in the Miss USA pageant up to $1-million to star in one of its movies. Carrie attracted worldwide attention with her response to a question about same-sex marriage.

"We watched Carrie Prejean in the Miss USA Pageant and we were impressed with her talent and beauty," said Steven Hirsch, co-chairman of Vivid. "We're also aware of the controversy caused by her statement about same sex marriages and the topless photos of her that have appeared online."

Mr. Hirsch said his studio is extending a business offer to Ms. Prejean without any preconceptions about her religious or personal beliefs but simply because a film with her would be profitable and could be an opportune way for her to benefit from her recent celebrity.

Should Ms. Prejean accept the studio's offer, her movie would be distributed under the Vivid-Celeb imprint which is known for titles starring such personalities as Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, Kim Kardashian and Ray J, Jimi Hendrix, Vince Neil and others.

"A movie with Vivid-Celeb could be an important step for her towards expanding her horizons," said Mr. Hirsch.

Founded in 1984, Vivid Entertainment Group is the world's leading adult film company and is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Vivid has always placed heavy emphasis on high quality erotic film entertainment and has created wide brand-name awareness through its films, innovative marketing and a licensing program that extends to advertising, apparel, book publishing and a range of other products.
