Any celebrities who honestly think that their kids aren’t going to read about their shenanigans in the tabloids should listen to Ivanka Trump. The daughter of Donald and Ivana recently revealed how as a kid, she and her brothers found out all the sordid details of their parents’ high-profile divorce thanks to Page Six and other magazines.

IVANKA Trump says that as kids, she and her brothers Donald Jr. and Eric learned the tawdry details of their parents’ scandalous divorce by reading The Post. The gorgeous blonde tells next month’s Town & Country they found out Donald was caught carrying on with model Marla Maples from this newspaper. “We’d come home from school having read [about] them on the cover of The Post,” she reveals. The most jolting possibly being: “Marla Boasts to Pals about Donald: BEST SEX I EVER HAD.”

Ivanka also takes a dig at her peers who don’t work for a living: “I’m not the type to be eating bonbons all day. I just can’t imagine anything worse than spending my day figuring out what I was going to wear that night.” Meanwhile, she flew commercial to Aspen last weekend for the Annual Food & Wine Classic, but had an unexpected one-night layover in Salt Lake City due to storms. She slept at the Quality Inn and ate at Little Caesars for dinner with her $18 stipend from the airline.

Man, and I thought my parent’s divorce was tough. I can’t even imagine picking up a newspaper and reading an interview with my dad’s mistress about how great their sex life is. I’d be in therapy for life. But, it looks like Ivanka has survived it nicely, remaining close with both her parents. However, I do wonder about some of these other celeb kids (ahem - Charlie and Denise) whose parents’ battles are splashed across headlines daily.

Ivanka Trump is shown at “The Whitney Contemporaries’ Art Party and Auction” on 6/17/08, thanks to WENN.

There’s nothing I love more than a Top Ten list. Or Top Five, or whatever. My personal faves are Top Ten Hot Guys (accompanied by pictures of hot guys in no shirts) and Top Ten Holiday Destinations (accompanied by pictures of hot guys in no shirts on a beach.)

Anyway, Forbes has again excelled themselves with a rather complex list, of 40 Hot Cities for Singles. Then they’ve crowned a most eligible man and woman of the city. For example, George Clooney and Cameron Diaz are king and queen of Los Angeles singletons.

George Clooney, 46
Actor
Launched to fame on television’s ER, Clooney likes to dip into directing and producing in addition to acting. He’s an Academy Award and Golden Globe winner, and when not in Los Angeles, he is sometimes found at his home at Lake Como, Italy.

Cameron Diaz, 34
Actress
Former model Diaz is one of the few female film stars who can command as much as $20 million a picture, the amount she earned for co-starring in Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle.

Forbes

This is great, if you live in one of the 40 American cities named. Helps narrow down who you should be aiming for, and then if your best friend suggests the person in question is a little un-dateable, you can just say ‘But Forbes said they were!’

Of course, Ivanka Trump is the hottest single in New York City, and who would want Donald Trump as a father-in-law? George Clooney too, is the cliché of a bachelor, known only for his love of his pet pig, but we all want what we can’t have, don’t we?

Well it appears there was some truth to the rumor that Ivanka Trump would be asked to joint the view as a co-host. While talking with Ryan Seacrest, she responded “There’s zero chance I would do that.” When Seacrest pushed her, she did vaguely confirm that an offer of some sort had been extended. “I’ve gotten a lot of requests. Let’s just leave it at that.” Snippy much?

I had thought Ivanka was the classier of the Trumps, but it appears I’m wrong. She’s too busy being sexy and doing sexy sexy things to be on The View.

“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 in terms of my schedule.”

I too am far too sexy to work for most major morning shows, so I understand how she feels. Wait, it’s that her projects are too sexy. Okay I too have a job so sexy that I wouldn’t be able to deal with Barbara Walters. It’s a gift, it’s a curse, what can I say? Could Ivanka possibly sound more like her father? Somehow I’d hoped she’d escaped the Trump Sexy Curse and would have some class, but that talking-yourself-up-all-the-time thing is just very tacky.

Kathy Griffin seems to be bandied about most for the gig. She recently said gave an interview where she mentioned that she thought it would be fun, but wasn’t sure it would work out.

“They (the producers of The View) are not throwing piles of money at me. They’re not begging. I love when you hear these actresses say, ‘The producer literally got on his knees and opened a briefcase full of money.’ With me, no. It’s like, ehhhh, they might, they might not, if they do they don’t want me to talk so much. Believe me, there are a lot of provisos… Honestly, I don’t think they’re going to come up with the Griffin dollars. But I’m happy to go and check it out and see what they want. I’ve done The View a bunch of times and it’s a very fun show to do.”

It sounds like the produces are pretty serious about not paying this person much. Rosie O’Donnell left because they wouldn’t pony up the cash, and it seems like it’s taking them forever to even come up with a name. They never replaced Star Jones. She left a bit before Rosie started, but she’d already been officially hired to replace Meredith Viera. This show has been in flux for the last few years – and maybe that’s a good thing. It had many stale years prior to that. Let’s hope they can find someone good, who can avoid fights with the Trumps… and avoid their sexiness, if at all possible.

This has got to be my favorite story of the week. I know the week’s only started, but I don’t think many things could beat this story, at least in terms of obviously fake planted crap. Supposedly, Ivanka Trump is being considered to replace Rosie O’Donnell on “The View.” Wouldn’t that just make Donald as happy as a little peach pie? The National Enquirer reports that Barbara Walters is seriously considering giving Ivanka the gig. Of course they also referred to her as a “hottie with brains,” so we’ll see how much truth is behind this. Of course if Barbara did give her the spot, it would certainly make for some interesting dynamics on the show. Would Donald still go on tirades? Would he go on Larry King and talk about how Ivanka is a “Big fat pig” or whatever else he called Rosie O’Donnell? Supposedly, this all comes back to Paris Hilton (who’s name we shall not mention of course).

“The National Enquirer reports that Barbara Walters wants to hire the “hottie with brains” to stick it to Paris Hilton and her parents for their shabby treatment of her when they were trying to sell the Paris post-prison interview.”

[From the New York Post]

What in the world do Paris Hilton and her family have to do with hiring Ivanka Trump? Do the Trumps and the Hiltons have some Capulet v. Montague/East Coast v. West Coast feud going on that I don’t know about? I feel like something was missing here.

I was wondering what would even qualify Ivanka to be on the show, but she’s actually more accomplished that I thought. According to Wikipedia, she is the vice president of Real Estate Development and Acquisitions at the Trump Organization. Okay we can chalk that up to nepotism. However she was accepted to Georgetown and transferred to the University of Pennsylvania and graduated magna cum laude from their prestigious Wharton School of Business. Ivanka also replaced Carolyn Kepcher as a primary boardroom judge starting in the sixth season “The Apprentice.” Whether due to nepotism or not, she has good credentials. It’ll be interesting to see if she ultimately becomes a candidate for the position.

Update by Celebitchy: This originated in Mike Walker’s column in The National Enquirer. Last week he printed an item that Paris Hilton was being considered for the open spot on The View! I thought it was such crap that I didn’t bother to print it. So when Jay wonders what Paris has to do with it, that’s the story. I doubt either one of those stories is true.

Plastic fantastic Ivanka Trump got a new rack and it looks like she added tons of fake hair and the pelts of several slaughtered animals to the mix to complete her barbie look. She looks wasted while posing outside of her 25th birthday party, but maybe she’s just high on all the synthetics coursing through her body. I would make the blowup or “Real Doll” comparison but that’s just too easy.

Ivanka is said to be bedding “That 70s Show” star Topher Grace this month. I loved Topher in “In Good Company” with Scarlet Johansson, but his career has not really taken off. Now that he’s with Ivanka it can safely be assumed that he’s not super successful because he has poor judgment.

Ivanka is dressed like old Boca widow’s idea of sexy at her 25th birthday at Pure nightclub on 10/28. [via]
