Tami Farrell has taken over Carrie Prejean's responsibilities as Miss California.
The former first runner up was pressed into service after Prejean was fired by Donald Trump and pageant officials on Wednesday.
FOXNews.com got the first online interview with Farrell, and asked her about the tumultuous past 24 hours.

FOX: Congratulations. Bit of a strange way of becoming Miss California?
Tami Farrell: Yes, it was definitely a crazy phone call to receive, but I’m excited to represent the state. I only found out yesterday! It was definitely some interesting news to receive but I’m just so excited.
FOX: Are you disappointed now that you won’t be able to compete again for Miss California and have the opportunity to go on to compete for Miss USA?
Tami Farrell: I think I had a bit of a blessing. When I was 18 years old, I was Miss Teen USA, so I had a taste of being a national titleholder and being in the competition. But being able to do things here within the state is great. I am pursuing acting and a screenwriter so being able to focus on projects within the state is a real blessing to me.

"I am pursuing acting and a screenwriter so being able to focus on projects within the state is a real blessing to me."
I'm shocked!!! ((ok, not really))
Beauty pageants should be based on looks and nothing else. In that case, I’d give the edge to the the Malibu beauty
I was thinking that the new Miss CA looks just like the deposed Miss CA. Seriously, they all look alike. Have we been cloning beauty queens all this time?
So you are the ex she keeps crying to me about?
Oh well, my “shoulder to cry on” is coming in handy.
Stepford wives.
We stamp them out here in CA.
“I want to be a Veterinarian, because I’ve always loved children.”
No comparison.
The other girl is an “8” at best.
Maybe a “9”, but I agree. I like Prejean.
I though it was....”I want to be a Vegetarian....cause I love animals” ???? ;) LOL!
LOL. It’s like they’ve got interchangable parts. Nice parts though :)
Prejean is actually beautiful.
This girl looks like a really good stripper.
Duh!
LOL, in your dreams!
She didn’t win, so big deal.

Vinny Gambini: Ms. Vito, please answer the question: does the defense's case hold water?
Mona Lisa Vito: No! The defense is wrong!
Vinny Gambini: Are you sure?
Mona Lisa Vito: I'm positive.
Right.
And I posted to the wrong thread.
That is such a good movie. What thread were you trying to post to?
Actually, I swear she was pole dancing at the Palomino Club in Las Vegas last week. I have two separate sources, who prefer to remain anonymous, but told me so on background, that she is the gal at the Palomino.
Both sources are Democrat operatives with the Harry Reid campaign here in Las Vegas, so it must be true!
