Rosie O’Donnell had some fiery words for Donald Trump on The View Wednesday morning, calling him a "snake-oil salesman" following his announcement that he would not fire troubled Miss USA Tara Conner. After hearing about her comments, Trump fired back to PEOPLE, calling her "a woman out of control" and saying he planned to sue O’Donnell over her statements questioning his financial well-being. "You can’t make false statements," Trump tells PEOPLE exclusively. "Rosie will rue the words she said. I’ll most likely sue her for making those false statements – and it’ll be fun. Rosie’s a loser. A real loser. I look forward to taking lots of money from my nice fat little Rosie." The battle began on Wednesday’s show, when a peeved O’Donnell said: "(He) left the first wife – had an affair. (He) had kids both times, but he’s the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America. Donald, sit and spin, my friend." O’Donnell, who impersonated Trump by deepening her voice and flipping her hair to one side, aimed her criticism at his comment from the Tuesday press conference that, "I’ve always been a believer in second chances. Tara is good person. Tara has tried hard. Tara is going to be given a second chance." Conner, who just turned 21, will go to rehab but keep her crown, following reports of alleged drug and alcohol abuse. A grateful Conner apologized for her behavior at the press conference, and she thanked Trump for his compassion. But O’Donnell was not as touched. After repeatedly saying she "didn’t enjoy him," Rosie discussed Trump’s finances – saying he went bankrupt, which Trump denies – and likened him to the "snake-oil salesman on Little House On The Prairie. This is not a self-made man," O’Donnell said. And while O’Donnell and her View co-hosts discussed Conner’s alleged drug and alcohol abuse, Rosie was dismissive, saying, "She went out and she was partying – doing what Paris and Lindsay do." She also turned her wrath toward the Miss USA organization itself. "Miss America is the prestige," she said. "Miss USA is a different thing. It’s basically a model competition. Let’s be realistic." Trump’s response? "She talked about the Miss USA contest, which has terrific ratings on NBC. Miss America got thrown off of network television! It’s (on cable), where nobody watches it," he said, countering her statements. "And my father never gave me tons of money." He also thinks Rosie’s rant against him was personal. Trump says he once sarcastically chastised Rosie about her "failed magazine" and "failed talk show." Added The Donald: "I think she’s just terrible." For her part, O’Donnell seemed to realize she was in for a fight after she criticized Trump, adding: "Here comes the lawsuit. Get ready. This is going to be good."
This is going to get good because you know she is not going to give up and neither is he! And then they will kiss and make up just in time for him to guest on The View to promote the Apprentice!
Marguerite Perrin, the self-proclaimed “God Warrior,” made famous last season by her infamous rant against the “dark side” and major meltdown in front of the cameras returns to TRADING SPOUSES: MEET YOUR NEW MOMMY on Friday, Jan. 19 and Friday, Jan. 26 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. Perrin first appeared on TRADING SPOUSES so she could use the $50,000 prize money for gastric bypass surgery. She’s since had the surgery and lost 94 lbs! While she currently holds a smaller build, Perrin is no less the big personality previously seen on the show, and is just as sassy, ready to tell it like it is, and as effervescent as ever! This special two-part episode took Perrin to the home of Abasi Malone and LaToya Brown in St. Petersburg, FL. Their 7 year old daughter Shachamaah is home- schooled by LaToya, while Abasi drives a taxi and has a newspaper route. The Malone-Brown’s are very environmentally conscious, with both a recycled rain barrel and compost pile in their yard. Abasi also hosts a political talk show that addresses issues within the African American community. Marguerite and Abasi quickly learn how to push each others buttons and it doesn’t take long before they clash over their views on race, politics, and social injustice. Perrin still lives in Ponchatoula, LA with husband Barry, daughters Ashley and Brooke and granddaughter Abigail. They believe in good old southern hospitality, and enjoy hosting parties and get-togethers with friends and family. The family continues to run a thriving dance studio that instructs ballet, jazz, and hip-hop.
OMG! She was so much fun the first time she was on the show, I can’t wait to see what she is like this time! I just wish they put her in a Scientologist’s house…how fun would that be!!!
The Kailua home that "Lost" actress Evangeline Lilly rents with two other women was engulfed in flames this morning and appears to be total loss. Five fire trucks responded to the call around 6:45 a.m. Neighbors said the fire started at least by 6:30 and quickly spread. There was nobody home at the time. "Lost" was filming at a Waialua Beach this morning and one of Lilly’s roommates who works on the set returned home after the fire was out. She declined comment. The early-morning fire at 684 Iana St. in Kailua brought quick response from neighbors, many who said they heard "popping" noises as the fire raged. "I woke up to my dogs barking," said Morgan Janus, a neighbor who lives across the street. "There were loud popping sounds, like something electrical." Janus said by the time she got outside, firefighters had already been called and were on the scene within 20 minutes. By 7 a.m. the fire was doused and soon after firefighters were able to enter the home. Part of the problem slowing the firefighters were the bars on the house’s windows. Firefighters had to cut through the bars in order to get inside to check if anyone was home. Nobody was, said fire department captain Kenison Tejada. The cast of "Lost" was scheduled to break for Christmas tomorrow.
