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

Rosie O’Donnell vs. Hulk Hogan and Norman Plus Evert

It would seem like an even match in the wrestling ring, but so far the battle between the two celebs has been more verbal than physical. Though, I wouldn’t rule anything out just yet. This war of words could easily erupt into something more. For those of you who missed the first jab–it came from Hulk Hogan, the former wrestling superstar turned “American Gladiators” host. Hogan reportedly took aim at Rosie O’Donnell when TV reporters asked him which celebrity he’d most like to see in the ring with one of the show’s star wrestlers. “Without a doubt Rosie O’Donnell,” Hogan … Continue reading

Mark Cuban vs. Mario Lopez vs. Donald Trump?

It’s unlikely we’ll ever see former “Dancing with the Stars” contestants Mark Cuban and Mario Lopez going toe-to-toe on the dance floor, but that doesn’t mean the two raven haired two-steppers won’t be duking it out on another reality series. The “Dancing with the Stars” alum having been kicking around the idea of creating a “celeb mixed-martial-arts program where Hollywood stars beat the heck out of each other.” The billionaire businessman and Karina Smirnoff’s live-in boyfriend have already displayed their fancy footwork in front of millions, but can they pull off a show that requires “beautiful” celebs risk getting their … Continue reading

Is Rosie Trying To Ruin “The View?”

One might come to that conclusion after noting the former “View” co-host’s timing in releasing excerpts from her new book. And beyond that, the controversial jabs she takes at her former boss Barbara Walters. Oh where to begin… Rosie O’Donnell recently penned a new book called “Celebrity Detox.” (It’s scheduled for publication next month.) In it the comedian speaks out about her tumultuous tenure of “The View” (including her bitter feud with real estate mogul Donald Trump) and her relationship with each of the ladies she sat next to at the “Hot Topics” table—namely show creator Walters.

Celebrity Holiday Weekend Weddings

Labor Day weekend was a popular pick for celebrities looking to tie the knot on the first day of the month. Among the stars exchanging vows yesterday was “Grey’s Anatomy’s” Kate Walsh who married movie executive Alex Young on Saturday. The 39-year-old bride made no secret that she was “more than ready” to walk down the aisle. After all, she met her husband (a production co-president at 20th Century Fox) in February and by May they were engaged. Then, less than four months later they got hitched.

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

Juicy Hollywood Tidbits – July 31, 2007

Al Gore III Pleads Guilty It has to be hard enough to have a child with an addiction problem, but to be a former Vice President and in the public eye must make it ten times worse. Al Gore III pleaded guilty to drug possession after his arrest earlier this year. He was pulled over while speeding down a California highway on the 4th of July. In his Toyota Prius, officers found prescription drugs such as Vicodin (for which Gore had no prescription) and marijuana.
