Trump as moral compass, again..

Trump Considers Letting Miss USA Pose for Playboy
Tycoon-turned-media mogul Donald Trump is considering allowing troubled Miss USA to pose scantily clad in Playboy less than a month after he insisted the party-loving beauty queen ditch her wild ways.

Trump, the owner of the Miss USA pageant, announced he would allow Tara Conner to complete her reign if she signed up for a rehab stint and curbed her wild ways after she hit the headlines for hard partying in New York bars.

Conner, who sobbed when she heard the news, has since checked into a rehab facility and has promised to behave like a model Miss USA.

But despite his stance that Conner should live a cleaner lifestyle from now on, Trump has confessed he's considering an offer from Playboy bosses to let the beauty queen pose in the pages of their magazine.

He says, "Playboy wants to have Tara on the cover (and) we're thinking about it.

"It wouldn't be nude. ... I would never want a thing like that to happen.

"(Playboy) is a very important magazine for a certain group and ... 10 years ago, five years ago, if you said, 'He wouldn't even be thinking about it,' today, it's a different world."

The difference is that she's old enough for playboy, she was not old enough to drink.

Legal/illegal.

Okay. Someone please tell me what certain group Playboy is a very important magazine to. The investors in Playboy? Are there investors? Teenage boys? I know there has to be money in it for Trump somewhere.

Trump Files Lawsuit Against Palm Beach Over 80 Foot Flagpole
The Oxford Press reports:


Real estate tycoon Donald Trump hopes to raise the stakes in the legal battle that pits him against the town of Palm Beach.

He wants to more than double the amount he’s suing the town for — from $10 million to $25 million, he said Wednesday.

Trump erected an 80-foot flagpole at his private club, Mar-A-Lago, in October, and the town cited him for not getting a permit and for having a flagpole taller than 42 feet.

A similar dispute arose over the flag pole constructed at Trump Golf Club Los Angeles in Rancho Palos Verdes. A lawsuit was avoided when the City Council proposed that Trump dedicate an area around the flag as a city park dedicated to U.S. Veterans.

Trump Gets Approval for Illegal SoCal Golf Course Flagpole
RANCHO PALOS VERDES, September 21, 2006 - Donald Trump: Famous. Worldly. Wealthy. Extravagant. Flag-waver.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After three hours of discussion during Tuesday night's meeting, the City Council voted 3-2 in favor of letting the developer keep an illegal 70-foot flagpole topped by the Stars and Stripes at the Trump National Golf Club.
Trump illegally erected the flagpole earlier this summer.

"Congratulations to us for providing the kind of publicity a real estate developer seeks," Mayor Steve Wolowicz remarked sarcastically after the vote. Wolowicz voted against allowing the flag to remain.

The Trump Organization has a history of acting before seeking the appropriate jurisdictional approvals, including grading land without a permit and apparently erecting official-looking freeway sign directing motorists to the golf course. The Trump Organization denied putting up the freeway signs.


"Mr. Trump has blatantly ignored the rules and regulations and wrapped himself in the American flag," resident Betty Riedman told the council.

There were about six Trump representatives at the council meeting, and they got an earful from Councilman Doug Stern, who also voted against letting Trump keep the flagpole.

"The history, from my perspective, does not speak of an organization that complies with regulations. It speaks of an organization that views rules as for the rest of us," Stern said.

The council tried to act tough, adding conditions on the flagpole, including a requirement for steps from a parking public lot to the pole and ensuring the pole's construction complies with city codes.

The city also wants the Trump organization to look into lighting the pole at night.

"I don't understand how two people voted against it because they're voting on taking down the (American) flag," Trump said Wednesday from his New York office. "I'm very happy with what happened. I'm honored with the three votes we got.

"It's a great day for the American flag and what it represents."

Golf course general manager Mike Vandergoes took responsibility for putting the flag up without a permit. The installer told him a permit was unnecessary, he said.

And here is the article I would have read, in my paper:

Trump can keep flagpole if he flies only U.S. flag
RANCHO PALOS VERDES – The City Council is willing to let Donald Trump keep a 70-foot high flagpole erected at Trump National Gold Club, but only if he agrees to fly only Old Glory.

Council members have been at odds with the business mogul over the flagpole since it went up last summer without a permit.

The city wants to ensure Trump doesn't use the outsize flagpole to fly a banner with his logo or corporate emblem.

City officials have denied Trump's request for a permit, but indicated that the flagpole could remain if he complied with the council's conditions.

Trump officials elected to file an appeal to the city's action last year.

In October, Trump was cited by the city of Palm Beach, Fla., for a zoning code violation over an 80-foot flagpole flying a 25-foot-wide flag.

Trump sued the city for $10 million as a result.

Don really likes to twist things around to suit him. "Its like taking down the American flag" "Rosie doesn't want to give anyone a second chance."

No, just lower the flagpole. No, you are not the moral compass for 20 year olds.

I think we knew this was coming. I hope it works for her.

"Lindsay Lohan reportedly entering a rehab facility to seek treatment for an undisclosed issue. "I have made a proactive decision to take care of my personal health," Lohan said in a statement Wednesday. "I appreciate your well wishes and ask that you please respect my privacy at this time."

Poor Ms Lohan. First it was an appendectomy to start the year. But she made a miracle recovery from that, seeing as she appeared in a club only 24 hours after the operation took place. And now she has to go to a rehab for an undisclosed ailment! It's turning out to be a turbulent year already for our heroine!

This a quote from Beyonce's dad after the Golden Globes.

Knowles told reporters back stage at the Beverly Hills Hilton right after the Golden Globes show ended that his daughter was outcasted and overlooked by a bureaucratic good old boy system that is still alive in 2007 as it was in 1967. "Today is MLK's birthday and it saddens me to say that things have not changed for blacks. Working class blacks and blacks in Hollywood are still being discriminated against. We still have a long way to go," he said."

This just in from TMZ.COM

After a firestorm of controversy over his use of offensive language and calls for him to apologize, "Grey's Anatomy" star Isaiah Washington issued the following statement late this afternoon:

"I apologize to T.R., my colleagues, the fans of the show and especially the lesbian and gay community for using a word that is unacceptable in any context or circumstance. By repeating the word Monday night, I marred what should have been a perfect night for everyone who works on 'Grey's Anatomy.' I can neither defend nor explain my behavior. I can also no longer deny to myself that there are issues I obviously need to examine within my own soul, and I've asked for help.

I know the power of words, especially those that demean. I realize that by using one filled with disrespect I have hurt more than T.R. and my colleagues. With one word, I've hurt everyone who has struggled for the respect so many of us take for granted. I welcome the chance to meet with leaders of the gay and lesbian community to apologize in person and to talk about what I can do to heal the wounds I've opened.

T.R.'s courage throughout this entire episode speaks to his tremendous character. I hold his talent, and T.R. as a person, in high esteem. I know a mere apology will not end this, and I intend to let my future actions prove my sincerity."

They all seem to welcome the chance to meet with the "community" they've insulted. Maybe they should do that before they spout off.

What was the deal with Beyonce? Was she really the best in her category? I didn't see a couple of the movies. Jennifer Hudson won the best supporting actress category, and Knowles' allegations would have affected her too, but she still won out. Definitely seems like sour grapes.

I don't understand Beyonce's father's comment. Is he saying the judging was prejudiced against blacks? Or that his daughter should have won because it was M.L.K.'s birthday?
