Forget the honoring and respecting – newlywed Ivanka Trump can’t even remember to wear her wedding ring after marrying Jared Kushner.

“I knew you’d call me on that,” she said, laughing, when the women of The View noticed the absence of the symbol of her eternal love for her new husband on Tuesday. “I was engaged for three months and then I’ve been married around eight days, so it’s sitting on my bedside table. I forget about the hardware.”

But to be fair, it’s not a common occurrence. “This is only one of two times,” said Trump, who also admitted to feeling “a little bit naked” without her ring.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who has been married to football player Tim Hasselbeck since 2002, advised that once she gets used to wearing a wedding band, “You just don’t even take the ring off. You keep it on. It gets dirty … But in the newlywed stage, you clean it and take care of it.”

Promoting her new book, The Trump Card, with mom Ivana at her side, Ivanka also said she didn’t let the burden of having a famous and wealthy dad get in the way of finding her own success, thanking her parents for providing her with a good childhood.

And mom Ivana’s secret to motherhood?

“I told them not to steal, cheat or lie, not to drink alcohol or take drugs … and also the value of money and hard work,” she said.

Ivanka Trump got engaged to her longtime beau Jared Kushner last night, a rep for the couple confirms to Usmagazine.com.

“I’m very happy about it,” Donald Trump tells Usmagazine.com. “They make a magnificent couple.”

I’m lovin’ her coat! She always looks so well put together.

Life’s great for Ivanka Trump, who admits there are real advantages to “being young, blonde and, if you will, looking a certain way.”

“I’m 26,” the devoted daughter of the Donald and his ex, Ivana Trump, tells The New York Times in a new profile, “and I tell myself, ‘Why not have a little fun with that?’ ”

But mostly, the paper reports, Trump is about work. “Real estate is my life,” she tells the paper. “It is my day job, if you will. But it consumes my nights and weekends, too.”

“As a principal of this company,” she says of the family’s Trump Organization, “I negotiate all the deals I’m working on. If people think I’m just the boss’s daughter, they’re deceived.”

Nor should anyone think, despite the family’s extensive residential holdings, that Ivanka lives rent-free – in fact, she’s busy paying down the mortgage on her $1.5 million apartment at Trump Park Avenue.

She looks so elegant!

On the way to work, I was listening to Ryan Seacrest’s radio show on KIIS FM, and Ivanka Trump was being interviewed. When Ryan asked her about the rumors that have been circulating lately that she might fill the newly vacant spot on The View, this is what the heiress had to say:

“There’s zero chance I would do that. I’m working on the sexiest projects around the world. So to me to be on a television show every single day at a designated period of time just wouldn’t work for my schedule.”

This sounded pretty snobby to me. Also, does anyone know what some of the “sexiest projects around the world” Ivanka might be working on? That made me chuckle.
