Trump Says "Rosie O'Donnell Is A Fat Slob"

Rosie and Trump were at war trading insults and threats over a fallen beauty queen this week.

Comedienne Rosie O'Donnell on Wednesday's "The View" talk show took issue with Donald Trump, who in a news conference on Tuesday said he would let troubled beauty queen Tara Conner continue her reign as Miss USA 2006 if she agreed to attend rehab.

Trump "left his first wife, had an affair. Left the second wife, had an affair. Had kids both times. But he's the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America," O'Donnell said, flipping her hair over to mock his famous comb over hairstyle.

Trump, who co-owns the company that produces the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants, fired back, telling "Entertainment Tonight," "I'll probably sue Rosie because she doesn't tell the facts."

In an interview with the Fox News Channel, Trump ridiculed O'Donnell's looks and said, "I'm going to surprise Rosie, but I guarantee I'll have a lot of Rosie's money, you know, right out of her big, fat pocket.

"I think she's very attracted to Miss USA so she probably wanted to put the crown on her head herself," he said.

"She is a very, very unattractive woman who really is a bully."

"Rosie is a loser, and ultimately (The View) will fail because of Rosie."

"Rosie talks about moral compass, what moral compass does she have? I mean just take a look at her, take a look at that face. I mean, can you imagine her poor girlfriend having to kiss that every night? You can have her."

In Thursday's New York Daily News, Trump said to O'Donnell, "You'd better be careful or I'll send one of my friends to take your girlfriend!"

"I imagine it would be pretty easy to take her girlfriend away, considering how Rosie looks." He called her a "fat slob" and "despicable."

Near the beginning of Thursday's edition of "The View," O'Donnell said, "Look who's here," pointing out her long-term partner, Kelli Carpenter, in the audience.

"I was afraid to leave Kelli at home in case someone with a comb-over came over and stole her." She continued: "Here's my comment to him (Trump)," then made a smirk.

Trump Says "Rehab" not "You're Fired" For Miss USA

Miss USA the former Steak House worker, along with many stars are in the carpool lane to the clinic, joining a growing list of stars who are being rushed to rehab.

The teary-eyed Tara Conner gushed before the cameras yesterday about her second chance at keeping her crown, while under the gaze of Donald Trump, pledging to enter rehab after being discovered drinking underage in New York bars before her 21st birthday.

She will now join actress Lindsay Lohan and Democratic congressman Patrick Kennedy (alcohol problems); actor and director Mel Gibson (race issues), and disgraced Florida Republican Mark Foley and Colorado evangelical leader Ted Haggard (sex issues) in what is now becoming known as the great American trend rehab chic.

With movie stars, athletes, beauty queens and politicians tripping all over themselves in the race to a 12-step program, how many will stay on track and resist the temptations of stardom.

But I will have to say it's nice that a person that drinks while under age and does drugs can be a role model for young American girls.

Watch Press Conference Here.

Trump May Fire Disgraced Miss USA Tara Conner

Miss USA Tara Conner grew up in a three-stoplight town in rural Kentucky where alcohol sales are banned and teens spend Saturday night in the Kmart parking lot.

After winning the crown in April, the 20-year-old former cheerleader rocketed into Manhattan's nightclub scene where friends say she succumbed to the temptations of drinking, drugs and casual hookups.

Pageant boss Donald Trump could strip her of her title as early as Tuesday because of what he called her "personal problems and difficulties."

Conner hails from Russell Springs, a rural and religious town in south-central Kentucky with fewer than 2,500 residents.

She started young in beauty pageants: She was third runnerup in the Casey County Apple Festival when she was 4, and was voted Young Miss Russell County when she was 13.

She graduated from Russell County High in 2004, waitressed at a steakhouse and took classes at the local community college.

She also drank and partied like other teens in town.

Yet even as her hometown savored the honor, she left it far behind. The pageant moved her into a swank Trump Place apartment and flew her around the country for a whirlwind of Miss USA appearances.

She barely saw her parents, relatives and friends - and broke up with her fiancé.

In New York, she quickly picked up a reputation for drinking heavily, snorting cocaine and playing around with different men.

Conner moved out of the Trump Place apartment late last week and was said to be spending time with her mom waiting sitting by the telephone, awaiting the words, "YOU'RE FIRED," from Trump.

Natasha Lyonne Turns Herself Into Court On Threats To Molest Dog

The star of "American Pie" actress Natasha Lyonne who is accused of threatening to sexually molest a dog, turned herself in at a New York court on Friday.

A bench warrant was issued for her arrest in January after Lyonne, who has also appeared in "Blade," and "Scary Movie 2," missed four court hearings.

The 27-year-old faced a number of charges including criminal mischief, harassment and trespassing after accusations she threatened to sexually molest her former neighbor's dog and ripped a mirror off the wall during a 2004 argument.

At the Manhattan Criminal Court appearance, drug counselor Heather Hayes said Lyonne had completed an in-patient drug program in February and continued to attend outpatient rehabilitation groups.

Judge Anthony Ferrara said the charges would be dropped if the actress stayed out of trouble for the next six months.

In the court complaint, Lyonne's former roommate claimed Lyonne trashed their apartment and then banged on a neighbor's door, rushed into that apartment and picked up her dog, telling the woman, "I'm going to sexually molest your dog."

Lyonne pleaded guilty in 2002 to driving under the influence of alcohol in Miami. She was fined, sentenced to six months probation and 50 hours community service.

Nicole Richie Arrested For DUI

Nicole Richie was arrested early Monday for investigation of driving under the influence after her car was reported headed the wrong way on a freeway.

Richie, 25, star of "The Simple Life" reality series and daughter of pop singer Lionel Richie, was arrested without incident at 1:45 a.m. (PST) after she failed a field sobriety test given by California Highway Patrol officers.

Richie's 2005 black Mercedes-Benz sport utility vehicle was stopped in the car pool lane of State Highway 134 in Burbank.

Other motorists had placed 911 emergency calls around 12:30 a.m. (PST) about a car headed against traffic on the freeway. Descriptions of the vehicle matched Richie's. When officers arrived, they found her car facing the right direction.

Richie was placed in the passenger seat of her car, which was found to be operable, and an officer drove the car off the freeway.

She volunteered the information that she had smoked marijuana and taken Vicodin, the prescription painkiller. No drugs were found on her or in the car.

Richie was booked in Glendale for investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, tested for drugs and released later Monday morning.

Bail was set at $15,000, but Richie was released on her own recognizance. A Feb. 7 arraignment in Glendale Superior Court was scheduled.

Richie told officers she weighed 85 pounds and was 5-foot-1, as the ticket issued stated. Her driver's license listed her weight as 100 pounds.

The drivers who placed the 911 calls are potential witnesses about whether Richie was driving the wrong way, and authorities were trying to contact them. Richie could face an additional charge depending on the information obtained, he said.

Richie is best known for starring with sometime-friend Paris Hilton in "The Simple Life."

Hilton faces her own legal troubles: She was charged with misdemeanor drunken driving after her Sept. 7 arrest in Hollywood. Her arraignment is set for Dec. 20.

Lindsay Lohan Seeks Help From Al Gore

Lindsay Lohan has asked former American vice-president Al Gore to help her clean up her image.

In an email written by the 20-year-old actress to friends and lawyers she states she is sick of her portrayal in the media and wants to hold a press conference to state her opinions on "how our society should be educated for the better of our country."

According to the New York Post newspaper, Lindsay writes: "Al Gore will help me. He came up to me last night and said he would be very happy to have a conversation with me.

Lindsay says she wants to state her views on "our people", adding: "Because I have such an impact on our younger generations, as well as generations older than me. Which we all know and can obviously see."

"I want to hold a press conference. And will do anything necessary to do so."

She ranted: "It's enough already, I've had enough and I am going to be the one to make a change.

"Let's sue the tabloids for saying the things they say. Defamation of character.

"It's my life. I want to live it. People cannot lie and think that it is okay to continue on having done so. I have had many ups and downs, as do we all. But to make false accusations to one girl is unjust in my opinion. I am willing to do anything I need to get my life the way it should be."

Lindsay's representative, refused to all phone calls from iTrashTV.
