Melania Trump has a new jewelry line on QVC which she’s promoting, because all you need to do to get a jewelry, fashion or perfume line is to be some kind of celebrity. Sadly, it’s true. I watched her promotional interview with ET fully expecting to mock her, because it’s striking how much she looks like her husband and I expected her to be as much of an ass as he is. She has the same fug swoop in her hair as Donald, she’s similarly orange, and she has the exact same smug expression as he does on the red carpet. They look perfectly suited for each other, and that’s not a compliment. In the video she seemed warmer and less crazy than I was expecting, so she must have retained enough of her pre-Trump personality to be a more decent person than he is. (Which isn’t much of an accomplishment.) She’s her own person, and she has her own jewelry line, which she of course claims to have been involved with “from A to Z.” (They all do that.) The jewelry looks like copies of more expensive pieces, it’s gaudy and not my taste, but it’s pretty for that type of jewelry.

The takeaway from this interview are Melania’s comments about her “romance” with her husband. She says he’s romantic, but then she hedges and says their romance is “different” than other people have and that they’re both “very independent.” She also talks about all the things they do together and not how she feels or what a great guy she’s married to. I get the sense that it’s more of a business arrangement that she’s tolerating, but that’s what you would expect from anyone married to Donald Trump. He’s been ranting and going off the rails lately, would you assume he had a great home life? If he weren’t loaded and famous he’d been just another conspiracy theorist yelling at the neighbor’s cat. Here’s more:

Melania Trump has quite a life with business baron Donald Trump. The former model sat down with ET to discuss her recently launched jewelry collection with QVC as well her relationship with her husband.

Her husband’s many career happenings in combination with her own professional duties as well as raising their 6-year-old son make the couple’s time together limited. Mrs. Trump says the two maintain a romance unlike the average one.

“He is a romantic guy,” she said inside of her home. “…It’s a different romance than maybe some other people [have] but he’s [a] very different man anyway…but we have a great relationship and we are both very independent. We love what we do…and that’s the most important [thing]. [We] have great quality time together.”

The couple met when Melania, a native of Slovenia, was modeling in New York in the ’90s. Mr. Trump proposed to her in 2004 and they were married the following year. Although they are both busy in the business world, Melania says they cherish the time they do have together.

“We love to go to the movies. We love to just have a dinner, the two of us with friends,” she mentioned as some of their favorite activities together. “We love to go to Mira Lago, spend time [with] the three of us: Barron, Donald, and me together; playing sport; and just spending time together, no matter where [we] are just having a great time.”

The creative-minded former model launched her first jewelry line earlier this week with home shopping channel QVC. Having been immersed in fashion for the bulk of her life, Melania is enjoying creating her own products.

Ooh, do you think this is Melania’s exit strategy? Like is she lining up her own work so she has enough cash to pay lawyer’s fees when she goes for the big bucks? This is Donald’s third marriage, and of course he has a prenup. Maybe Melania is making sure she has enough of her own money to supplement whatever she’s going to get. Is it wrong to root for someone to get divorced, even if they’re Donald Trump? I’m actually rooting for Melania after seeing this video.

Ha! This story just struck me as ridiculously funny, and I know that admitting that makes me a horrible person. Apparently, there’s a rumor going around Palm Beach, Florida that Donald Trump and his third wife, Melania, are having some relationship problems. The whole thing might stem from the fact that Donald seems to be spending more and more time alone in Palm Beach while Melania stays in New York with their nearly four-year-old son (I know, I keep thinking their kid is just a baby, but he’s turns four in March, despite this report claiming Barron is five). The Donald has already denied the alleged relationship trouble, but his hilarious denial kind of just added fuel to the fire when he claimed that Melania had to stay in New York with the kid because of school on Friday evenings. Seriously!

The Palm Beach Daily News which isn’t exactly known for wild speculation reported earlier this week that the marriage of Donald Trump is in trouble. The Donald says that just isn’t true and he told the newspaper that also. “There was a report in the Palm Beach Daily News that Melania and I are having problems, and it is 100% false, as I told them.”

The rumors started because Donald has been spending weekends alone in Palm Beach while his family stays behind in New York. His explanation for this is “Melania used to come with me to Palm Beach every weekend, but now that we have a young son, his school comes first.”

He went on to say that their five year old son has school on Friday evenings so the family has to stay in New York. OK, first things first here. I’m sure there are kids who have school in the evenings. But Friday evenings? Really? He is five. That part doesn’t make any sense. Second of all, if he is so enamored of his family why don’t they fly to Palm Beach after school ends? It isn’t like Donald is flying commercial. The plane leaves when he wants it to leave. The kid is five. How late is he staying in school at night? Finally, why is he going down every weekend? Stay at home with your family. Just because he is in school Friday evenings still leaves Saturdays and Sundays that the family could be together. I smell lots of trouble here.

School on Friday evenings! Hilarious. When I was in college, it was difficult for me to make it to class on Thursday mornings, I can’t even imagine what it would have been like if classes were held on Friday evenings. Regardless of the “Friday evening school” shenanigans for a three-year-old (for real!), what do you think? Is there trouble is gold-plated paradise? I think there’s something there!

Micah’s commentary on the fashion and style of the celebrities at the “Trump International Hotel and Tower Dubai at The Park Avenue Plaza” on 6/23/08 is below.

Heidi Klum:
I think if you’re married to Seal, than you shouldn’t be wearing it!
If only 2007 Christie Brinkley looked as much like 1984 Christie Brinkley as 2008 Heidi Klum does! KFC has bigger breasts than she does in that top!

Demi Moore:
“A” Your bag should match your shoes, not your hair. “B” Those shoes go with that dress as much as Dick Cheney goes with target shooting. “C” I get that the hair is supposed to be a throw back to Veronica Lake, but frankly she should just throw it back. And “D” That dress looks like a failed attempt at hanging herself using her satin sheets.

Melania Trump:
Judging by that look on her face, she should change her name to Melania STUMPED!
She’s a blonde dye job away from being cast as the live action Smurfette.
Is it me, or does her eye shadow have as many colors going on as his hair does?

Naomi Watts:
Okay let’s REALLY break this down: Why would someone dress like a flapper waitress who’s into foot bondage and then not take a single minute to do anything with her hair, or let alone complete the ensemble by putting on a sequin headband with a feather in it? WATT was she thinking? I’ll tell you what she was thinking, she was thinking “Maybe if don’t do anything with my hair then they’ll focus on how I look like Nicole Kidman without any make-up on, instead of focusing on the fact that I look like the runner up in the ‘Little Miss England Pageant’ after the talent competition!” SHE’S WEARING A SEQUIN DICKEY! I guess she figured if they weren’t gonna roll out the red carpet, then she wasn’t going to dress for it.
