Donald Trump 'Tempted' to Run for President, Will Speak at CPAC
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyDoes he mean it this time? Billionaire Donald Trump, the New York-based real estate tycoon and dealmaker, says he is very tempted to run for president as a Republican in 2012 and will decide whether to do so by June. "I am seriously thinking about it," Trump said on CNN Wednesday night. "I love this country. I hate what's happened to this country. We are a laughingstock throughout the world. We're not respected." In an interview with Piers Morgan, Trump declared China an "enemy" of the United States and vowed that, if elected president, he would impose a 25 percent tax on all Chinese ...
'Single Ladies' Dancers and Miss USA: The Sizzle Over Sex
By Judy Howard Ellis - Politics DailyEven though booty-shaking is a national pastime, much like McDonald's, SUVs and politicians with mistresses, we often struggle with our indulgences. Especially when our young people have an appetite for the very things that enthrall and seduce us. We get hot and bothered about child dancers gyrating on stage to Beyoncé's "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)." But we're OK with Beyoncé herself performing at a White House state dinner because her alter ego Sasha Fierce stayed home. (What will be our thoughts when we see Liza Minnelli perform "Single Ladies" in "Sex in the City 2"?) We ...
Miss USA, Rima Fakih: Terrorist in a Bikini?
By Bonnie Goldstein - Politics DailyA new Miss USA, Rima Fakih, was crowned at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip Sunday night. The first-generation Lebanese-American beauty queen moved to New York at 7 and as a teenager moved with her parents to the Detroit area, home to the largest concentration of Arab-Americans on the continent. Readers may recall that in previous years, Miss USA contests have been followed by controversy. When they were, contest owner Donald Trump took a very personal interest in protecting and marketing his brand. One year the real estate developer-showman extended compassion ...

Blagojevich Headed To Trump's 'Celebrity Apprentice'
By Lynn Sweet - Politics DailyIf there were a prize for indicted former elected officials for keeping a high public profile, then ex-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich should win it with the news that he will be a contestant on Donald Trump's reality show, "Celebrity Apprentice." Taping of the show will begin later this month and could take at least three weeks, reported the Chicago Sun-Times' Natasha Korecki, who had the scoop. Blagojevich would continue on the show until he either wins or is fired by Trump. Blagojevich -- who is quite a showman, if you haven't noticed -- was impeached and removed from office last January. His ...
Top 10 Best and Worst Reality TV Shows
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyThe flurry of posts by my female colleagues on movies and TV shows has gone Right. Over. My. Head. I have never heard of this Julie-whatever movie they are debating. What's the big whoop? And although I've seen a couple episodes of "Mad Men," I think the show is boring and unwatchable. I'm way out of my league trying to debate these TV shows that -- let's be frank -- don't have a chance in heck of being on the cover of Us Weekly. So really, why watch? Go ahead and call me superficial, low-brow, cheesy, trashy, shallow and unsophisticated; I accept all those descriptions. So I'm ...

Great News, Scotland: Donald Trump Is Coming to Build Large Monuments to Himself
By Ryan Wilson - AOL NewsIt was roughly a year ago that the fine citizens of Scotland, upon learning that Donald Trump wanted to build a gauche golfing megaplex on their coastline, kindly told him to go [jump off a bridge]. Twice. Undeterred, Trump called on the wise words of philosopher/maniac Woody Hayes: "Paralyze resistance with persistence." And then proceeded to buy what he wanted. Real estate tycoon Donald Trump won approval from the Scottish government Monday to build what he says will be "the world's greatest golf course" on a stretch of Scottish coast, over the objection of local officials and ...
Jets Play (Donald) Trump Card In Effort to Sell Out the Pricy Seats
By Josh Alper - AOL NewsThe New York Jets and Giants have drawn a lot of coverage for their efforts to sell personal seat licenses to their new stadium. The Jets, as part of their plan, are holding an auction to maximize return on the fees generated by the 2,000 seats in their Coaches Club. Those seats, among other perks, allow the owners to stand just behind the Jets bench during games. To ensure the bidding reaches stratospheric levels, they've enlisted the help of a New York icon. I didn't say it was a football icon. Hard to see how the patron saint of conspicuous consumption will portray this as anything other ...
