Heather Mills will not be on Celebrity Apprentice

Heather Mills

Heather Mills has reportedly been dropped from the line-up of Donald Trumps’ hit reality TV show Celebrity Apprentice.

The business tycoon confirmed in June that Mills was bidding for a role on the series, a spin-off of TV hit The Apprentice, which sees celebrities work under the guidance of mentor Trump.

But producers decided against recruiting the 41-year-old after she allegedly demanded a clause in her contract that guaranteed her a place in the show’s final.

A source tells Britain’s The Sun newspaper, “The network were originally very keen on getting her involved. But her demands were ludicrous and it soon became clear that getting her involved would be a headache. It was the final straw when she said she wouldn’t take part unless she was a dead cert for the final…She was politely informed that NBC wouldn’t be following up their interest in her appearing.”

The second series of the show is set to begin recording this month and is scheduled for a premiere in the U.S. in January.

Joe Francis has been dropped from Celebrity Apprentice!

Joe Francis

Joe Francis has been dropped from the line-up of Donald Trump’s hit reality TV show Celebrity Apprentice.

Francis revealed last month that he had signed up to appear on the business tycoon’s reality series, although network executives have yet to confirm the show’s competitors.

According to the New York Post, the porn mogul has been dropped from the show amid concerns from sponsors, who are said to be troubled by his recent legal woes - which included a 12-month stint behind bars on federal tax evasion charges.

Francis tells the newspaper: “Donald Trump and I decided to do a different show. I would have added a lot to Celebrity Apprentice, and I would have been excited to do it, but I’m more excited by this other idea.”

The show is set to begin recording in the autumn and is scheduled for a premiere in January.

Donald Trump’s son to be a father again

Donald & Vanessa Trump

Donald Trump is preparing to become a grandfather for the second time - his son Donald Jr. and daughter-in-law Vanessa are expecting a baby.

Vanessa will welcome a brother or sister for one-year-old Kai Madison in February.

She tells People.com, “We’re so excited. We just told the family this past Monday. They thought it was great news. I couldn’t hide it any more. The second time you show faster.”

And she insists Kai is looking forward to having a sibling to play with: “I point to my belly, and tell her there’s a baby in my belly. She points to her belly button and thinks there’s a baby there. I say, ‘Not for you, for mama.’”

The new addition will also have a young uncle for a playmate - Trump Sr. has a two year old son Barron with his third wife Melania.

And the Apprentice star recently revealed he wants more, telling talk show host David Letterman, “Stranger things have happened. You know that stuff does happen, right? So I don’t know, we’ll see what happens. I have a wonderful wife who is very capable. And who knows, maybe we’ll have a surprise.”

Times are tough for Donald Trump, too

Donald Trump

Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc reported a wider quarterly loss on Thursday as more would-be gamblers stayed home and the company took a one-time charge to write down the value of a casino it is selling.

In the past week, major casino operator Las Vegas Sands Corp reported a net loss for the quarter while rival MGM Mirage suffered a dip in profit, as gamblers stayed away to save money on gas and airfares.

“The weakened economy, driven by tight credit markets, declines in consumer confidence and rising oil prices, has had a significant impact on the gaming industry across America,” Trump’s chief executive, Mark Juliano, said in a statement.

In addition to that, Trump has faced rising competition for its Trump Taj Mahal and Trump Plaza casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey, from new gaming facilities in nearby Pennsylvania and New York, which has forced it to step up its marketing efforts.

The Donald wants Ashley Dupre for his new reality show

Donald Trump

An insider at Donald Trump’s newly announced My Fair Lady-style MTV reality says that infamous call girl Ashley Alexander Dupré has been asked to join the cast.

The still-untitled show, produced by Donald Trump Productions (and referred to in some press reports as “Lady or a Tramp”) was picked up by MTV for eight hour-long episodes. Based on a British show called Ladette to Lady, the show will take a group of 15 hard-partying young women and send them off to a boarding school environment where they’ll learn to become more ladylike.

“She’s the perfect candidate,” the show insider says of Dupré, the 22-year-old at the center of the Gov. Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal. The show has not yet heard back from Dupré with any reaction to the offer.

Donald Trump could not immediately be reached for comment.

Donald Trump sues over Miss USA copyright

Donald Trump

Tycoon Donald Trump is suing a Las Vegas-based company for illegally using the name of his Miss U.S.A. beauty pageant to promote their own Senorita Mexico U.S.A. contest.

The property mogul-turned-reality TV star is furious the organizers of the Latin pageant have deliberately attempted to associate their event with his world-famous Miss U.S.A. brand, after the Senorita Mexico owners posted photographs of Trump’s other beauty contests - including pictures of the businessman himself - on their website.

Trump’s Miss Universe firm, which runs the Miss U.S.A. contests, filed suit last week against Adan S. Perez, Luz S. Bolivar and The Miss Mexico Organization LLC citing copyright and trademark infringement, unfair competition and false designation of origin or sponsorship.

But the legal battle is not new - Trump has been fighting Perez and Bolivar since 2005, when he demanded they cease and desist using trademarks similar to his own organization’s. According to legal papers, obtained by website TMZ.com, Trump is now also claiming compensation for common law trademark infringement and trademark dilution and disparagement.

Donald Trump thinks Heather Mills will be a hit as a pageant judge

Donald Trump

Donald Trump has backed under fire Heather Mills to be a hit as a Miss USA pageant judge.

Sir. Paul McCartney’s ex-wife will try and salvage her image in the U.S by judging the beauty show, which is being hosted by Donnie and Marie Osmond.

Trump, who produces the pageant, has shrugged off the controversy surrounding Mills divorce settlement with the Beatles legend.

“She’s been through a lot. She has great courage and you have to respect her - she’s been through the wringer.”

The pageant will air live on NBC from the Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas on April 11.
