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: “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 →

Trump Stirs Up More Controversy

With Rosie O’Donnell recently announcing her departure from ABC’s “The View” you had to know that her rival Donald Trump would not remain silent for long. (I think it took him about 2.16 seconds to issue a statement after the news of her leaving was broadcast.) I’ll get to their ongoing battle in a bit, but first I wanted to clear up rumors about Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s recent appearance on Trump’s TV show “The Apprentice: Los Angeles.” For some reason I allow myself to get sucked into “The Apprentice,” season after season (this year was no different). On the March … Continue reading →

Money, Money, Money

If we’re talking about making money (tons of money) then we must be talking about those high profile celebrities who seem to rake it in without lifting more than a glittery, high-glossed fingernail. Take for instance singer Jennifer Lopez (or perhaps we should be examining the person who recently hired her). According to PEOPLE magazine, the superstar raked in a cool $1.2 million in 40 minutes Saturday when she performed a 40-minute set of her biggest hits for a Russian billionaire and his wife. Thirty-five-year-old Andrei Melnichenko paid Lopez to sing at a joint birthday party for himself and his … Continue reading →

Donald Trump Hires A Fired Apprentice Contestant

From “You’re Fired!” to “You’re Hired!” Donald Trump is going Hollywood… and he’s taking a fired contestant from “The Apprentice” with him. Do you remember Andy Litinsky? He got the boot from Trump during the second season of “The Apprentice.” Litinsky, a champion debater and Harvard graduate from Florida, was 23 when he appeared on “The Apprentice 2” as one of 18 corporate wannabes competing for a top job in the Trump organization. During his stint on the show, Litinsky made it to the final six, but ended up being dismissed for making “poor decisions.” I guess “The Donald” doesn’t … Continue reading →
