Celebrity Scandal: Donald Trump fired from driving Indy 500 pace car?

Celebrity Scandal!

Donald Trump fired from driving Indy 500 pace car at annual auto race?

[May 7]

Donald Trump is having a difficult time staying away from controversy. The real estate mogul and star of The Apprentice was offered April 5 the opportunity to drive the official pace car for the 100th anniversary of the Indianapolis 500. But now the star celeb and possible contender for the Republican presidential nomination has backed out of the job, saying the race would interfere with the responsibilities involved in considering a bid for the Republican nomination, according to the Indianapolis Star. But is that the whole story?

Sources say Donald Trump’s decision to back out of the pace car honor is more a result of more than 18,000 fans liking a Bump Trump page on Facebook. One Indy fan, Michael Wallack, set up the page April 8 because he feels Donald Trump is not a real fan. Wallack became more upset when Trump started in on the Birther spectacle in reference to President Barack Obama.

Michael Wallack explains in a report by the Huffington Post:

“To me, when they first named Donald Trump, it just felt wrong. He has no relationship to the track, to the race, to racing, to Indianapolis, and I think I would have been bothered anytime with something like that. But to do that on the 100th anniversary, it made no sense.

“Then when he started going off on the birther stuff, that prompted me to do more and that’s when I started the page.”

One blogger, Kent Sterling, even suggests that officials at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) actually got cold feet over the mounting opposition and asked Donald Trump to back out. The Indianapolis Star reports from May 4, 2011, that they were considering the backlash of the Facebook page as well as from a group of Baptist ministers who protested Trump’s involvement, calling the celebrity out for his “petulant, poisonous and racist remarks.”

However, Michael Cohen, an executive vice president and special counsel to Donald Trump, told the Indianapolis Star on May 5, 2011, that Trump “doesn’t have a racist bone in his body.” Nevertheless, Cohen did remark that the Facebook page set up by Wallack seems to be a collection of Barack Obama supporters. An aide to Trump also had said earlier in the day that Trump wouldn’t give up the post. Mixed messages?

Jesse James claims Kat Von D better in bed than Sandra Bullock on Howard Stern?

What a JERK!

Celebrity Scandal Outrage! Kat Von D better in bed than Sandra Bullock claims Jesse James publicly?

[May 4]

Mark this article into the editorial pile about bad celebrities in Hollywood. The collosal jerk Jesse James went live on Howard Stern to battle for the title of most foolish celebrity statements with David Arquette (another gem). His claims? That Kat Von D, the reality television star and celebrity tattoo artist he got engaged to less than a year after his very public break up with the lovely Sandra Bullock is that Kat is better in bed than Sandy. Could this man possibly find a way to be more publicly hurtful to the green celebrity?

Sandra Bullock had just won her first Academy Award when the celebrity scandal news hit that her beloved Jesse James, a husband she married with full faith in love and commitment in her heart, was a huge cheater. Not just a mechanic, the guy was an A List tool.

He has been secretly having flings with all sorts of strippers and tattoo models, reportedly while he was at the office of his famous garages wheere he built West Coast Choppers into an internationally acclaimed business.

What is wrong with this guy, only the Gods themselves know — but Jesse James betrayed Sandra Bullock so deeply, she essentially went into hiding (and America understood her reasons).

Hollywood Gossip: Did Chuck Lorre really call Charlie Sheen a monkey?

Did Chuck Lorre really call Charlie Sheen a monkey?

[May 3]

Star celeb Charlie Sheen and television exec Chuck Lorre are still at it, despite a relatively quiet couple of weeks for Sheen (except for his Violent Torpedo of Not Winning on tour and in attempting to get custody of his kids even though soon-to-be-ex Brooke Mueller failed her mandatory drug test). Last week, Lorre wrote a vanity card which appeared after Big Bang Theory, in short lamenting his troubles with an actor who was “impossible to work with,” “increasingly erratic,” and “a heroin addict,” according to Entertainment Weekly. Guess who.

Nope, it wasn’t Charlie Sheen he was referring to (supposedly); it was a monkey on Big Bang Theory.

Right. Everyone believes you, Chuck. After all the names Charlie Sheen has called Chuck Lorre, it’s hard to believe that the latest vanity card from Chuck Lorre Productions wasn’t a shot at his nemesis, Sheen. But he probably deserves to get back at the troubled actor after all the drama directed at him this year.
