Donald Trump is adding another person on his list to talk crap about. This time the human publicity machine has sight his site on Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Donald thinks she’s a nice person, but he would like to fire her as the nation’s chief negotiator.

In all fairness, I see Condoleezza Rice – she goes on a plane, she gets off a plane, she waves, she goes there to meet some dictator. … They talk, she leaves, she waves, the plane takes off. Nothing happens, it’s a joke, nothing ever happens. I think she’s a very nice woman, but I don’t want a nice woman. I want someone that’s not necessarily nice.

Donald must be losing ground with his battle with Rosie O’Donnell so he has to find an easy target for his whipping post. Seems like his only targets are of the female persuasion, if I didn’t know any better I would think Trump hates female who talks.

Donald Trump is making the most out of his current feud with Rosie O’Donnell. After calling Rosie fat and ugly on Entertainment Tonight, The Insider and Showbiz Tonight, he close the night with a phone in interview on the Larry King Live show. The whole interview was just a repeat of the earlier round of pissing all over Rosie. Here is a recap of Donald’s talk with Larry:

Donald on Rosie’s response to giving Tara Conner a second chance:

Well, I heard about it and then I got the tape and I thought it was disgraceful. I mean here’s a horrible human being, a terrible woman. She looks bad and she sounds bad. And believe me, as bad as she looks, she’s worse inside. But she was very offended that I gave a nice young lady a second chance. I gave her a second chance because she has a problem. She’s getting the problem taken care of.

Rosie thought it was terrible that I gave her a second chance. Of course, Rosie has given — she’s given women many, many second chances — only women.

Donald on Barbara Walters’ statement:

Well, I can tell you for a fact that that’s not what Barbara told me. Barbara is not a fan of Rosie. She’s embarrassed by Rosie. She doesn’t like Rosie. And I guess she can’t say that publicly. But trust me, Larry, that’s what she told me over the phone.

Donald on the Kelly Ripa and Rosie fight:

Look what they did to Kelly Ripa. Kelly Ripa is a terrific person. She didn’t want to attack Rosie, which I think is a mistake. But if somebody wrapped their arm into my mouth, I would be complaining, believe me, see, because what Clay Aiken did to Kelly Ripa was disgusting. So Rosie took Clay Aiken aside.

Donald on why he forgive Tara Conner:

I didn’t forgive her, Larry. I didn’t forgive her at all. And she’s running on a little bit of a close (UNINTELLIGIBLE). The fact is that the Miss. USA, a wonderful person, was given a second chance. I didn’t forgive her. She’s working hard to gain my trust and other people’s trust. She is going to serve, hopefully, as a role model for people who have struggled. There are a lot of people, young people, old people, there are a lot of people with alcohol addiction, with drug addictions, with lots of different addictions.

Donald on Rosie:

Rosie O’Donnell is disgusting, I mean, both inside and out. You take a look at her, she’s a slob. She talks like a truck driver. She doesn’t have her facts. She’ll say anything that comes to her mind. And, you know, her show failed when it was a talk show. She failed on that. The ratings went very, very low and very bad and she got essentially thrown off television.

Can this feud just be some sort of publicity stunt for the new season of his show The Apprentice? Very likely, this feud is probably even helping out The View’s rating. I say just put these two in a room and have them talk each other to death.

David Blaine’s latest publicity stunt is underway in New York City. This stunt Blaine is handcuffed to a 150 pound heavy chain while submerged in a 8 feet wide globe filled with water. His only life line is a breathing mask and a feeding tube. Blaine says:

So basically besides holding my breath for about nine minutes hopefully I will have to escape from all these chains, and if not I will drown and the world will see something pretty insane.

It will be insane to see him die on live TV.

As predicted and rumored to replace Katie Couric on the Today show, Meredith Vieira has officially announced to the viewers of The View that she will indeed replace Katie on the Today show this morning. Vieira told the audience:

I’m thrilled, I’m really thrilled,” she said. “You would love these people. I believe in growth, but right now I’m feeling terrific growing pains.

This announcement comes a day after Katie had announced she was jumping ship to CBS. According to NBC’s CEO Jeff Zucker, they went with Vieira because:

Meredith’s vast experience as an award-winning journalist, as well as talk show host, make her the ideal candidate for this job

This deal will make Vieira a $40 million woman and also put her into the number one morning show. There no way up but down.

I wanted to tell all of you out there that after listening to my heart and my gut, I’ve decided I’ll be leaving ‘Today’ at the end of May. I really feel as if we’ve become friends through the years.

It’s been such an honor and a privilege to occupy this seat for as long as I have,” she said. “Sometimes I think change is a good thing. Although it may be terrifying to get out of your comfort zone, it’s also very exciting to start a new chapter in your life.

Rumor on the short list to replace Katie is The View’s Meredith Vieira.

There are speculations in a column by Ben Charny of eWeek that NBC may eventually buy out YouTube. It won’t be the first time this type of thing has happened, the best known case was when Napster was eventually bought out by a record company.

This whole talk about buying YouTube came after NBC had to tell YouTube.com for the second time in a couple of weeks to remove a Saturday Night Live skit, this one featuring Natalie Portman rapping gangsta style. The skit in question were uploaded within a few minutes of the skits airing, but was removed within a few days after NBC sent a demanding letter to do so.

It also didn’t hurt that after NBC conducted an investigation into these online viral video websites that they seen just how many of it’s programing were being downloaded at the websites, with well over 5 million downloads. An NBC Universal spokesperson says the following in an interview:

So it’s not out of the question that NBC could approach an alleged offender and turn it into a business partner. We recognize there’s a demand.

When this happen expect YouTube to turn into crap and another site come out and steal all the YouTube users away.
