I think Amy mentioned selling ads, Bill then chimed in saying it was like NASCAR. Then they were all happy about the idea.

For anyone interested, we saw Donald on Larry King last night. Someone called in about his hair. He lifted it and pulled on it. It’s not a toupe, and it’s not a comb-over. (Maybe just a bit of a flop-over, but no more than Frankie Avalon.)

Sorry – the “They” starting the last sentence is unclear – “They” is (are?) _Entertainment Weekly_, not Trump and Burnett, who were meticulous in their phrasing so as not to give anything away.

But it really looked strange in Thursday’s show. . . kind of stripey! (Couldn’t be a toupee. Who in his right mind would wear a toupee that looked like that?) I think he needs to go on the EXTREME MAKEOVER show or maybe let Kyan from QUEER EYE get him the right products to work that style! 😃

Am I the only one who thought it was funny that Katrina bitched at Bill because he was using her looks?

It was _ironic_ to say the least.
