Donald Trump and Sarah Palin Share Pizza, Love-Fest in NYC


In the greatest meeting of political minds since ... you know what, it's not important. But Donald Trump and Sarah Palin met at a pizza joint in NYC yesterday!

Trump loves the former Alaska Governor, too. Mostly because she loves him so much, or so he claims in gushing about his favorite topic (himself) to Fox.

Palin would "love" for Trump to run for president in the next election cycle, he claimed on Fox & Friends this morning. Here's one of his choice quotes:


Donald Trump Talks Sarah Palin

Trump met Palin during her stop in New York City. The Thrilla From Wasilla kicked off a tour of the eastern U.S. at the Rolling Thunder rally last weekend.

Both big-name Republicans have been talked about as presidential hopefuls, though Trump recently bowed out and Palin doesn't appear interested.

Like Trump, she basks in the attention, but you can get that merely by acting like you might entertain the idea of running, so why actually bother?

In any case, the admiration is mutual. Trump called Sarah Palin a "terrific woman and a terrific friend" who he hoped would seek the GOP nomination.

Someone start printing the Palin-Trump 2012 t-shirts!!

Objection, your honor! 'Franklin & Bash' is just dumb

By Robert Bianco, USA TODAY

It's great that TV has new hot-weather series, but must they let the heat go to their heads?

  • Totally off the point: Jared Franklin (Breckin Meyer), left, and Peter Bash (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) aren't typical courtroom lawyers, but their antics catch the attention of a big L.A. law firm.

By Annette Brown,, TNT

Totally off the point: Jared Franklin (Breckin Meyer), left, and Peter Bash (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) aren't typical courtroom lawyers, but their antics catch the attention of a big L.A. law firm.

We get it, it's summer. Viewers tend to be less demanding when the temperatures rise, and to skip shows that make too many demands upon them. Light, fast, fun ? that's what most of us seem to want.

So when did networks decide that all added up to "stupid"?

Unfortunately, stupid is just one of the obstacles thrown your way by Franklin & Bash, an ain't-law-wild legal comedy starring Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Breckin Meyer as lawyers-on-the-make who make their way into a big-time firm. As oversexed as it is underachieving, Bash is the kind of original programming that makes you reconsider your antipathy toward reruns.

Lest you think this summer Bash-ing is solely a TNT affair, be warned that USA has a legal show of its own coming up this month, Suits, that is, if anything, even more inane. Which will be hard to believe should you choose to soldier through tonight's Bash premiere.

We meet Franklin and Bash as they're discussing their chances of sleeping with Marisa Tomei? one of those self-conscious pop-culture conversations of which writers have become way too fond. Soon they're winning a case by making a witness take off her blouse, which naturally draws the favorable attention of big-shot lawyer and all-around eccentric Stanton Infeld ? Malcolm McDowell, in a role that seems to have been lifted intact from a David Kelley show.

TNT, Wednesday, 9 ET/PT
* 1/2 out of four

Do you need to be told that Stanton has an ambitious stick-in-the-mud nephew (Reed Diamond) who hates the boys on sight, or that the boys come as a package with two comic-support assistants, one tough and bossy (Dana Davis), the other odd and agoraphobic (Kumail Nanjiani)? Of course not. Even if you couldn't have filled in the details, you surely saw the outline coming.

You can expect the same lack of surprises from the cases, which exhibit a dismally carefree attitude toward plotting and common sense. Even when an upcoming episode comes up with an interesting (if also very Kelley-ish) idea ? a plain woman who is convinced she was fired because she's too beautiful ? the writers can't be bothered to think it through. Maybe she's delusional; maybe she illustrates the difference between being attractive and being beautiful; or maybe she is so attractive she is beautiful. The episode doesn't try to pick.

Meyer has seldom chosen his TV roles wisely, so the abrasive and yet unaccountably successful Franklin simply fits the pattern. The real shame here is Gosselaar, who held his own on NYPD Blue opposite one of the best actors ever to grace TV (oh, how the medium misses you, Dennis Franz) and proved he was much more than just a teen-show pretty face. Now, for some reason, he seems content to prove the face is accompanied by a nice body ? one he displays tonight in a long, lingering post-hot-tub shot of his naked posterior.

We don't care how hot it is. Put some clothes on.

And please, find something better to do.

Check Out Candice Crawford's Bridal Look: MVP or Missed by a Mile?

Did Candice Crawford punt when the pressure was on? Or did she run this one all the way to the end zone?

Assuming those Mercury wings weren't part of her coiffure, we're going to give Mrs. Tony Romo's bridal look a big foam-finger thumbs-up.

While money is presumably changing hands over the actual pics right this second, the Dallas-based design house of St. Pucchi was kind enough to send along a photo of the style Crawford chose for her big day. While the 24-year-old went for off-white and had designer Rani Totman add some additional accoutrements, this gives you the general idea.

MORE: Touchdown! Tony Romo marries Candice Crawford

The sleeveless satin ball gown has a Queen Anne collar (and a very nonroyal plunging neckline), and the hand-cut bodice on Crawford's dress was accented with ostrich feathers, rhinestones and crystal beads?hey, they do things big in Texas!

Totman also crafted a keyhole back. The skirt sported both major volume and a detachable "semi-cathedral" train.

"Working with Candice on her wedding gown was a true pleasure," Totman said. "It was an incredible experience watching the dress come to life on her. Candice has a true eye for styles that accentuate her natural beauty."

Crawford and Romo tied the knot Saturday at Arlington Hall in Dallas.
