Hey, remember a few weeks ago when 30 Rock did a live episode and the people on the East Coast got to see Sir Paul McCartney be the special guest cameo while the people on the West Coast only got Kim Kardashian? Remember how that was an almost offensively big step down? Yeah, that was ridiculous. Anyway, this story isn’t about that. This is about something entirely different. It’s about how the Mitt Romney campaign is following up President Obama’s successful dinner with George Clooney by offering a chance to dine with Donald Trump.

In an interview with Newsmax yesterday, Donald Trump revealed he’s considering starting his own super PAC in his quest to defeat President Obama. Asked if if anyone has approached him to fund a super PAC, Trump said, “Yes they have, and I am thinking about just doing my own PAC.”

Yesterday, a few days after crowning late night legend Arsenio Hall his new Celebrity Apprentice, Donald Trump took his to his Twitter account to crowdsource for the new season: “Who would you like to see on next season of ‪#CelebrityApprentice‬? Let us know- everyone wants to be on it.” We here at Mediaite take this challenge seriously– some of us may have not missed an episode since the Rod Blagojevich era– and we’ve looked far and wide for the loudest, smartest, weirdest, and most controversial people to put on the show.

Donald Trump sat down with Piers Morgan to discuss the general election campaigns. It’s going to be a nasty campaign, he said, deeming Rev. Jeremiah Wright fair game. Trump further went on to say, Democrats aren’t going to bring up unfair things, so there’s nothing wrong Republicans responding to that.

The bad news is, the latest season of Celebrity Apprentice is over, stealing away America’s weekly rations of Donald Trump. The good news is, this apparently gives Donald Trump more time to make videos where he yells into his laptop about whatever he feels like yelling about that day. Today that thing is Will Smith slapping a guy for trying to kiss him– or, more specifically, why someone needs to smack around Sacha Baron Cohen until he stops making all those movies.

Cher had some fighting words for Mitt Romney, drawing criticism from Romney supporter Donald Trump. On Monday, Trump called in to Greta Van Susteren to discuss the comments and his response. All of which happened, of course, on Twitter.

Washington, DC is often referred to as “Hollywood for ugly people,” but for at least one night of the year, we are Cinderella, and Hollywood’s collective Prince Charming stalks us with a glass slipper (and a Walking Dead-style hoarde of photographers). In recent years, the White House Correspondents Dinner (or “Nerdprom,” as the so-uncool-they’re-cool kids call it) has become a feast for celeb-watchers and wonk-worshippers alike, and this year was no exception. Mediaite takes you behind the scenes of the blenders where they all mix, the pre- and post-parties.

President Obama took the stage at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner on Saturday night, where he made a number of jokes at his and other’s expense. He took aim at Congress, Mitt Romney, the Huffington Post and dogs.

Business mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump had a problem with comments Morning Joe panelist Donny Deutsch made earlier Friday morning. Instead of merely prompting his assistant to yell at the TV for him, Trump elected to call up the show and air his grievances.

Jenna Talackova, the transgender beauty queen who is hoping to compete in the Donald Trump-owned Miss Universe pageant, was on The View this morning to talk about her efforts to overturn a rule that mandates that contestants be “naturally born female.” She was very soft-spoken and measured about the controversy, answering a lot of awkward questions gracefully (like whether or not she has “normal sexual relations” with her boyfriend). She explained that she has known she was a woman “since [she] was conscious,” and later made it official with hormones and drastic sex reassignment surgery.

During a radio interview Friday, high-profile attorney Gloria Allred responded to Donald Trump over a controversy regarding a fired transgender Miss America Canada contestant by Trump and Trump’s comment that Allred would be “very impressed” with the size of his penis. Allred not only explained to Trump that the whole world does not revolve around his anatomy, she regretted she didn’t “have a magnifying glass strong enough to see something that small.”

The introduction of a transgendered contestant to the Miss Universe competition has many confused and prompted all sorts of weird comments from Donald Trump, who is ostensibly in charge of these things. On last night’s O’Reilly Factor, Juan Williams and panelists Leslie Marshall and Janine Turner took a look at the topic and had some uncomfortable discussion on whether “natural” women are at a disadvantage without surgically enhanced features and how often transgendered people would headline stories in the future.

Donald Trump has had a long and fruitful day, what with going on about his huge assets (no, not Mar-A-Lago) on TMZ in the afternoon and going back to his bread and butter, calling out President Obama, on tonight’s On The Record. But he took some time to evaluate Sarah Palin‘s debut on Today against Katie Couric over on ABC, and Trump had nothing but good will for the two of them.

We here at Mediaite get to hear a lot of Donald Trump. He’s constantly calling in to shows we cover like Fox & Friends and The Five. However, did you know that he also calls in to shows we don’t normally cover? Yeah. Because we weren’t watching TMZ Live yesterday, we missed an amazing Trump moment when he called in to the show and started talking about how impressed Gloria Allred would be if she got a look at his junk.

You know what this means. Yes, we’re going to keep not watching TMZ Live.

On The Laura Ingraham Show Tuesday, real estate impressario and Mitt Romney supporter Donald Trump alleged he believes President Obama will start a war with Iran because it will help him in the short term politically. “We’re looking at Iran. I happen to think that the President is going to start a war with Iran. I think it will be a short-term popular thing to do, and I think he’s going to do that for political reasons, if you want to know the truth,” Trump told Ingraham.

Like many mornings, Piers Morgan’s day in the news on Tuesday began with a spat. Today, the media plaintiff is Kirk Cameron—the same one who objected to homosexuality as “ultimately destructive to… civilization” on Morgan’s program a while ago. Cameron is blaming Morgan for his own comments, a sort of protest the host has little patience with. Noting that, as a Catholic himself, “it wasn’t a question of me berating him as a Christian because I am a Christian myself,” he concludes Cameron “dug his own grave” and his gripe is “ridiculous.”

Donald Trump phoned into Fox and Friends Monday morning and took several pot shots at Rosie O’Donnell and her failed show on the OWN network. “Frankly, that was just going to happen,” Trump crowed. “I knew it immediately when they announced it. Rosie fails at everything. She had a variety show, it failed. I mean, she — I don’t understand now, somebody else, some moron will come and hire her again to do something else and that will fail. At some point, let her rest. Let her go away. She’ll never make it and i’ve said it for years. She’ll never make it! She must have a very good agent.”

Donald Trump really does not like Rick Santorum. After becoming a Mitt Romney surrogate, Trump has taken to calling for Santorum to step aside and calling him “not a team player” for staying in the race. On last night’s On the Record, he made the same calls, arguing that “women would vote against him like you wouldn’t believe” and he “has no knowledge of economics,” but when asked whether Newt Gingrich, who has won two states, should do the same, Trump abstained. “He’s a friend of mine– and he’s a member of my club in Washington.”

During one of his routine Fox & Friends call-ins this morning, Donald Trump took a break from explaining why Mitt Romney should be the Republican nominee to explain why his rivals in the race are “disgraceful” for not getting out already. Trump has been criticizing Rick Santorum for weeks now, finding it personally unbelievable that Santorum believes he can win given his staggering Senate loss in 2006.

In a wide-ranging appearance on Fox & Friends Monday morning, Donald Trump went through topics ranging from Star Trek legend George Takei to his robocalls in support of Mitt Romney. But he saved his juiciest comments for the end, when he slammed George Will for saying the Republicans should give up on trying to win the White House and instead focus on winning the Senate and the House.

Vocal same-sex marriage advocate (and Celebrity Apprentice contestant) George Takei is taking his campaign to change one mind at a time on gay rights to his former reality TV boss Donald Trump. After inviting Trump to lunch at New York restaurant Jean Georges over a conference call, he got a positive response and the two have now set a date.

Appearing on Fox News’s Red Eye Friday morning, Andrew Breitbart chided the Republican presidential candidates, calling them hypocritical for refusing to attend Donald Trump‘s Newmax debate, but continuously appearing on MSNBC. “What’s so frustrating is the people who are saying no to Donald Trump are the people who say (yes) every single week to the MSNBC’s of the world and are willing to sit there as Chris Matthews berates them, sets them up, and now they can’t stand Donald Trump when he is probably one of the only successful capitalists out there haling the economy which is a capitalist economy. These people are taking the wrong stand at the wrong time. If these guys have any integrity they say no to MSNBC — but they go after the only capitalist out there.”

From the confines of his Manhattan office, Donald Trump saw the need to vent his feelings over Sacha Baron Cohen’s Academy Award stunt. He was not happy about it. Trump was certainly fired up when the incident happened and apparently the dust has yet to settle. He was compelled to spew criticism about Cohen, the award show security, and even Vanity Fair‘s after party.

In case you’ve forgotten, Donald Trump supports Mitt Romney for president. The latest addition to his media rounds, Trump has moved on to robo-calls — and hopes the citizens of Michigan will hear him out.

Sports Illustrated cover model Kate Upton was on Jimmy Kimmel Live Tuesday night, discussing how she scaled the heights of the modeling world to become the latest woman to grace the cover of the iconic swimsuit issue.
