Trump Suing ODonnell

December 27th, 2006

Donald Trump is ready to sue ‘The View’ host Rosie O’Donnell for her verbal attack on him after he announced he was giving Miss USA Tara Conner a second chance. Trump announced he is filing suit against O”Donnell. “She says things that come to her mouth, she’s not smart, she’s crude, she’s ignorant and to be honest I look forward to suing Rosie,” he said. “I’m gonna sue her and I look forward to it. She’s really very dangerous for the show.” Trump declined to elaborate on the details of his proposed legal filings, but added O’Donnell will understand his reasoning. “Rosie will find out what we’re suing her for. She knows what we’re suing her for,” he said adding the lawsuit is already in the works. “It’s something I look very forward to,” he added.O’Donnell attacked Trump, branding him a “snake-oil salesman” and calling his staging of a press conference, in which he decided to allow Miss USA, Tara Conner to keep her crown a publicity stunt. “Because his show ‘The Apprentice’ is starting again in January, he held a big press conference to see if he was going to allow Miss USA, such a prestigious title,” Rosie said on ‘The View’ while rolling her eyes. “It’s basically a model competition. They have one question in Miss USA, yeah and they’re like ‘I’d like to cure cancer and end world hunger, and then I’d like to go to Studio 54 and do some crack.’” Rosie continued her rant lashing out at Donald Trump’s decision to give Tara Conner a second chance. “There he is, hair looping, going everyone, everyone deserves a second chance,” she began. “He’s the moral authority? Left the first wife, had an affair, left the second wife, had an affair, had kids both times, but he’s the moral compass for twenty year olds in America. Donald, sit and spin, my friend.” She also said she expected him to sue her but added “he’ll probably be bankrupt by that time so I won’t have to worry.” In turn, Trump, who became aware of the Rosie comments branded her “a loser.” “Rosie’s been a loser for a long time,” he said. Her magazine failed, she got sued. She folded up like a tent.” Executive Producers of ‘The View,’ Bill Geddie and Barbara Walters weighed in on the verbal fracas releasing a statement, “Both Rosie and Donald are high-spirited, opinionated people. Donald has been a friend of ‘The View’ for many years and Rosie, of course, is our enormously popular moderator. We cherish them both and hope the New Year brings calm and peace.”

The pair had been enjoying an intimate dinner at New York’s lavish Cercle Rouge restaurant when they decided to finish off the evening with a public smooch. A fellow diner said: “They had a meal and got progressively cozier as the night went on. Then they started to kiss at their table in full view of the restaurant. They didn’t really seem to care who saw.” It was widely believed that the couple’s romance was on the rocks after Hartnett was spotted enjoying a weekend in Sydney, Australia, with his ‘30 Days Of Night’ co-star Amber Sainsbury in November. However, both Hartnet and Sainsbury denied they were an item and were simply taking a break from shooting the horror film in New Zealand.

MADD Severs Ties

December 27th, 2006

Allegations of Miss Teen USA Katie Blair’s underage drinking and carousing with Miss USA Tara Conner in New York have led the group Mothers Against Drunk Driving to sever ties with her. In a statement, MADD said it was “disappointed” by news reports of hard partying between 18-year-old Katie Blair and Conner, who tearfully admitted to drinking at New York nightclubs as a minor. “In the past, MADD has teamed with Miss Teen USA to raise awareness about the serious and often deadly consequences of underage drinking,” MADD spokeswoman Heidi Castle said. “However, we do not feel, at this time, that Ms. Blair can be an effective spokesperson on underage drinking and will not ask her to represent MADD in future initiatives.” Donald Trump, a co-owner of the Miss Universe Organization, which includes Miss Teen USA and Miss USA, said he would allow Conner to keep her crown if she settles down and enters alcohol rehab. The Miss Universe Organization spokeswoman Lark-Marie Anton said Blair’s crown also was safe.

Spears Cheated?

December 27th, 2006

Britney Spears may have been cheating on Kevin Federline before she filed for divorce. Friends of Spears claimed she was “fooling around” with music producer J.R. Rotem before she officially split from Federline last month. A source said: “J.R. worked with Kevin on his album and something started going on between him and Britney before she filed for divorce.” Another source refuted the allegations, saying: “There was definite chemistry between them, but Britney waited until after she had split from Kevin.”Spears who has two sons with Federline, is now reportedly dating Rotem as well as working with him on her comeback album. The music producer could also be the reason that Spears has cooled her friendship with Paris Hilton, because she also dated J.R. The source said: “It was nothing serious, just a few hook-ups. I bet a million dollars that J.R. tried to keep that a secret from Britney. She would probably flip out if she knew that he’d romanced Paris first.” It has also been reported that Britney has been taunting Kevin about her fling with J.R. and the lavish lifestyle he is missing out on since the split. A source claims: “Britney called Kevin and asked if he’d seen the pictures of her kissing J.R. Then she started bragging about the great sex she’d had.”"It was really bad. He didn’t even know whether to believe her, but she just started pushing his buttons. He got mad and started screaming at her.”Federline is reportedly gathering evidence of Spear’s wild partying to use against her in a custody battle over their sons.
