Good News for Donald Trump and Jennifer Hudson

The good news for Donald Trump: He actually convinced Hollywood-types to appear on the next installment of “Celebrity Apprentice.” The bad news: “Celebrity” is a relative term and some of the individuals cast in the new season of Trump’s reality TV show will not be recognized by half the audience. Even more bad news: The pathetic state of the economy is forcing NBC to cut the cost of its primetime schedule, which means viewers will have to suffer through two hours per week of “Celebrity Apprentice.” So who are the “celebrities” The Donald talked into competing for their charities of … Continue reading →

Donald Trump Looking to Make Ladies from Tramps

And he’s starting with Miss Ashley Alexander Dupré a.k.a. former Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s call girl. I know what you are thinking: Trump + Dupré = The Perfect Match. Well, it’s not a done deal yet. According to insiders, Donald Trump is courting the 22-year-old prostitute to star in his new MTV reality TV show (now that “The Celebrity Apprentice” is over he’s got to have his hand in something). The yet-to-be titled series is being produced by Trump’s company and was picked up by MTV for eight 60-minute episodes. The show is reportedly based on a British series called “Ladette … Continue reading →

Martha Stewart Disses The Donald and Tim Gunn Disses Britney

So much for starting 2008 with a clean slate… It appears Martha Stewart can hold a grudge with the best of them. The domestic diva recently revealed to reporters that she is still mad at Donald Trump—-two years after they first exchanged unplesantries during a heated war of words. You’ll recall the verbal sparring started when Trump came out swinging at Stewart shortly after her Apprentice spin-off debuted on TV. “Donald said some things in all the hastiness that were unforgivable and I don’t have time for people like that,” Stewart told reporters at a public event yesterday. Instead, the … Continue reading →

Trump Tries To Save The Notorious Trio

Man, this guy never gives up. I have never read Donald Trump’s best-seller The Art of the Deal, but I’m guessing there’s a chapter in there about persistence. After getting slammed by Rosie O’Donnell upon inviting her to appear on the upcoming “Celebrity Apprentice,” Trump is at it again. Not with the former “View” co-host, rather the real estate mogul is going after a younger, blonder, shapelier set. The Donald recently told New York reporters that he is courting the infamous trio of party princesses that have most recently called rehab centers and jail cells home. That’s right; I’m referring … Continue reading →

Celebrity “Real” or “Rumor”—The Donald and Rosie Reconcile

In previous Celebrity “Real” or “Rumor” posts we’ve uncovered the truth behind singer James Blunt selling his sister of eBay and actor (and sports fanatic) Kevin James naming his new baby after a popular baseball stadium. Today we tackle an even bigger subject: Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell’s reported reconciliation. Alas, as you may have already guessed this one is a RUMOR. However, it’s not for trying on “The Donald’s” part. In an effort to garner attention for his new show (a celebrity edition of “The Apprentice”) Trump invited his nemesis (and former “View” host) to appear and (if she … Continue reading →

Donald Trump Bad Neighbor?

I suppose when you own as many homes as Donald Trump you are bound to have a few neighbors who wish you weren’t part of the hood. Such is the case in California where the real estate mogul has once again upset his just-as-wealthy neighbors. According to news reports, this time the problem has to do with ficus trees. (Oh, to be so rich and problem free that trees are enough to set you off.) The Donald reportedly planted hundreds of the trees without the city’s permission to screen the nearby driving range from the multimillion-dollar mansions that border his … Continue reading →

Donald Trump: “I Quit!”

In what is being dubbed as a preemptive strike, real estate mogul turned reality TV star Donald Trump is not giving network executives at NBC the chance to fire him because—-he quit. Within hours of discovering his low-rated reality show “The Apprentice” was left off NBC’s new prime-time schedule Trump issued a statement that said he intended to “move on from ‘The Apprentice’ to a major new TV venture,” though he declined to elaborate. Frankly, I find the entire situation rather hilarious. Here you have a network unveiling its new TV line up, Trump sees it, realizes his show didn’t … Continue reading →

Pop Culture Potpourri—Grandpa Trump and Brooke’s Battle For Moms

GRANDPA TRUMP Her family calls her the best Mother’s Day present ever. (Never mind that she came two weeks ahead of time.) Kai Madison Trump is getting the royal treat by her parents and her famous grandfather—-Donald Trump. The first member of the newest generation of Trump’s arrived Saturday afternoon in New York City. According to news reports, Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. and wife Vanessa became proud first time parents to the 6-lb. 14-oz. girl less than 12 hours before dawn broke on Mother’s Day 2007. In regards to their daughter’s unique name (I thought they chose it because … Continue reading →

“The Donald” Keeps His Hair

When I wrote about Donald Trump’s wrestling bet a few weeks back I made a bet with myself that the entire “Battle of the Billionaires” showdown was a big April Fools Day joke. Well, it turns out I may have been partially right. For those of you who don’t keep tabs on The Donald’s bets (or his hair… or loss of it), Trump was involved in what World Wrestling Entertainment owner Vince McMahon dubbed a “hairy smackdown.” Essentially, the Trumpster and McMahon had WWE wrestlers duke it out in the ring on their behalf last night (April 1, 2007). Pro … Continue reading →
