Just days after Nicole Johnson was crowned Miss California USA 2010 -- she's already found a way to get her name in the news ... uncovering a secret relationship with Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps.
TMZ spoke with Johnson who said, "Now that it is after the fact, I will admit that we were together. We agreed to keep this private because it was the only thing that he could keep private ... we remain close friends."
Johnson claims the two dated for just over a year between 2007 and 2008.
Phelps was rumored to have dated the previous Miss California, Carrie Prejean -- so far, no cell phone video to back that up.

Carrie Prejean didn't wanna use her own noggin' when it came to filling out a very personal contestant questionnaire for the Miss California pageant back in '07 -- so she went to the guy who knew her inside and out ... her solo sex tape recipient.
TMZ has learned Prejean's former cross-country booty call received an email from Carrie on 11/7/07 -- when she was 20 -- in which Carrie asked for help answering several brain-busting questions such as:
If you could have lunch with any one (1) person, who would it be and why?
What is your career ambition?
Name one personal achievement that makes you especially proud.
What is your most treasured possession (tangible object) and why?
What is the most interesting or surprising thing about you or that has happened to you?
After all those "special" tapes she made, you'd think she'd know herself better.

Even though she has said "no" more times than the Jonas Brothers, Vivid prez Steven Hirsch is still holding out hope Carrie Prejean agrees to sell over the rights to her infamous sex tape.
Hirsch has offered Prejean some serious dough to sign on the dotted line and join the Vivid family. So far she's declined -- and even threatened to sue -- despite the expert advice she's received from Shauna Sand.
Though when Shauna Sand is pushing you in one direction, common sense dictates you go in the other.

Carrie Prejean has her panties in a bunch, because Vivid Entertainment won't take no for an answer.
TMZ has obtained a letter from Carrie's lawyer, threatening to sue Vivid if it releases videos or photos of Carrie's solo, XXX greatest hits. Carrie's lawyer, Charles LiMandri, told Vivid, even though he made it clear yesterday that no means no, "...your company has apparently told the media that it plans to publish the videotapes and/or photographs of my client with or without her permission."
LiMandri left nothing to the imagination, warning Vivid Carrie will sue for invasion of privacy, misappropriation of her likeness as well as public disclosure of private facts ... if Vivid makes good on its threat.
LiMandri will also add a claim for emotional distress for good measure. And he claims some of the videos were shot when she was only 17. Her ex-boyfriend -- the guy to whom she sent the tapes -- begs to differ.

Carrie Prejean has a serious congressional supporter who thinks she should pursue a career in politics ... and it's not just because she has her finger on the hot-button issues.
TMZ spoke with Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) who tells us he thinks Prejean could be a serious contender in the political arena: "[Carrie] has the ability to draw crowds and if she has a strong message to go with that, who knows what she can do? She has star power which can open doors.
"We've all made mistakes when we were 17. [The sex tape] is going to be an impediment, but people are excited about her convictions and her beliefs."
For the record -- Carrie was 20 when she filmed her world famous solo mission.

Carrie Prejean is going to be publicly mocked by the very people who helped "make" her -- and it's all going down at the upcoming Miss California USA pageant.
TMZ has learned the people behind the pageant are on the hunt for a Carrie lookalike to play the former Miss Cali winner in a skit for this weekend's pageant.
Our sources say a first round of auditions for the Prejean part were held this past weekend, but no one "nailed" it yet.
No word on why the pageant didn't ask Prejean to appear in the skit -- after all, nobody can nail Carrie like Carrie.

Carrie Prejean's sex tape cost her more than a million bucks during her settlement discussions with Miss California USA, but we've learned Vivid Entertainment is officially stepping up with an offer to line her pockets with even more money.
TMZ has obtained a copy of a letter Vivid honcho Steven Hirsch sent to Prejean's lawyer, Charles Limandri. Hirsch is asking to acquire the rights to distribute "erotic footage that Carrie Prejean, former Miss California, produced for her boyfriend following their four (4) day rendezvous in February 2007." It's the same video (eight in all, along with 30 photos) that TMZ obtained but has not posted because it's just too racy.
In the letter, Hirsch tries tempting Carrie with this: "We would like to present Carrie with several options where she could certainly earn millions of dollars."
Hirsch boasts his stable of stars, including Kim Kardashian, Kelli McCarty (former Miss USA) and Shauna Sand -- the kinds of women any gal would be proud to call her peers.
TMZ spoke with attorney Limandri last night, and it looks like Carrie's not biting. Limandri says Carrie's mom/rep says, "No, at any price."
Carrie claims she was underage when the videos were shot, but her ex-boyfriend to whom she sent the videos begs to differ.
But Carrie may have another plan to score some loot. We're told she may sue the Miss Cali pageant, along with its officials, because she believes they leaked the settlement to TMZ.
Stay tuned ...

Donna Mills is not a fan of Carrie Prejean.
We caught up with the former "Knots Landing" star outside the Pasadena Playhouse last night where she had some brief but candid remarks about the ousted Miss California USA.

The world's largest porn company has obtained a copy of the Carrie Prejean solo sex tape -- and TMZ has learned they're desperately trying to release it.
The porn company -- Vivid Entertainment -- tells us they obtained the tape legally, but they want Carrie to sign off on it personally before it goes wide. Good luck with that...
As TMZ first reported, the solo sex tape was played in front of several people during settlement negotiations between Prejean and the Miss USA Pageant just a few weeks ago. Once Prejean saw the tape, she instantly dropped her $1 million demand.
For the record, TMZ has had the tape for weeks, but elected not to publish it -- and we have not disseminated it.
Vivid Prez Steven Hirsch tells TMZ, "The third party that brought the tape to Vivid affirmed that she was over 18 years of age at the time it was made."

TMZ has learned Carrie Prejean just pulled out of a talk she was supposed to give this afternoon at the Capitol Hill Club in Washington D.C. -- an exclusive club for Republicans only.
An insider at the Capitol Hill Club tells TMZ Carrie canceled five minutes before she was supposed to speak because her camp wanted to avoid a repeat of last night's "Larry King Live" fiasco -- when she almost walked off the set.
Carrie faced a fresh wave of criticism this morning after her former hookup told us she wanted him to lie about her sex tape and tell people she was underage when she filmed it ... when she was really 20-years-old.
