As they say, behind every great man is an even greater woman—or at the very least, one who's calling the shots when their husband isn't willing to do so. Whether or not you consider Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney or Donald Trump great, one thing you can't deny is that they're all very ambitious men, and all three of them have their wives to thank for it.
Former Miss California, Carrie Prejean didn't waste much time after tying the knot with Oakland Raider's quarterback, Kyle Boller last July: The 2009 Miss USA winner just announced she was expecting her first child—and she's already three months along.
Although Rima Fakih may be the first Arab-American to win the Miss USA title, her Lebanese ancestry didn't stop her from acting like any other red-blooded, young, attractive American woman. A day after she won Donald Trump’s annual beauty pageant, TMZ immediately posted photos of Rima competing in a pole-dancing contest put on by a Detroit radio station. According to TMZ’s sources, Rima kept her clothes on, but on-lookers still managed to stuff her bra full of one dollar bills. Clearly, there are no conservative Arab traditions for this girl!
When it comes to weddings, celebrities are not frugal, DIY-ers. And while some of the elements may be the same (there’s always a crazy wedding dress and an even crazier cake), the celebrity weddings below could rival the the average GDP of some cities in cost.
If you think that regular civilians are the only ones who have an opinion on Hollywood scandals, think again. Lots of celebrities have voiced their opinion over the Tiger Woods and Jesse James scandals. Here's a roundup of what some have said, according to US Magazine, PopEater and ABC News, among other sources
Love her or loathe her, the 22-year-old beauty queen certainly has made an impact. And so within this perfect storm of sex, pageantry, politics and religion we ask ourselves: Are there any teachable moments?
Speaking with Sean Hannity, on The View, and last night on Larry King Live, it's been clear that "nobody defends Carrie Prejean Like Carrie Prejean," in the very wise words of Barbara Walter. Carrie Prejean stays on point — "It was the biggest mistake of my life," one that she takes "full responsibility for" but that can be blamed on a vast left-wing conspiracy — that is until someone messes with her carefully scripted damage control routine. Apparently, her people had an agreement with Larry King's people that no calls would be taken from viewers on the show. Well, one was and Carrie went berserk, ripping off her mic and then just sitting there... smirking, calling out Larry King for his "inappropriateness" (Read the full transcript of the interview on the next page) The innocuous-yet-campy question that sent her over the line didn't even have anything to do with the sex tape.
Carrie Prejean: Political lighting rod, dater of Michael Phelps, breast augmenter, spurned beauty queen and now... amateur porn star? That's right. Although the tape has never been released publically, it's already been making—or saving—money for those who have it in their possession.
Ivanka Trump married her boyfriend of two and a half years, New York Observer owner Jared Kushner, on Sunday at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Some may be upset to hear it, but a certain real estate heiress is off the market. According to the New York Daily News (and her Twitter account), Ivanka Trump is now engaged to real estate heir Jared Kushner. Trump tweeted on Thursday, "I got engaged last night ... truly the happiest day of my life!!!" Kushner's rep later confirmed the posting. Well, at least they worked that out. Kushner and Trump have been dating for two years, but split briefly in 2008 over Ivanka's conversion to Judaism. (The Kushner's are Jewish while Ivanka is not.) However, it appears like Ivanka is taking the plunge into the Jewish life as she's been seen studying at a New York City synagogue.
A study regarding spending habits and partners, shows that men who spend more money generally have more sex partners. Women who spend more recklessly, do not necessarily, have more sexual partners. This probably knocks out any question of who pays for the first date. Donald Trump suggests that ambition and libido are inexorably intertwined. This has probably only been going on for a few millennia but researcher Daniel Kruger thinks it could be to blame for our current financial dire straits.
