Last week, it was reported that developer Donald Trump was going to buy TV personality Ed McMahon's home out of foreclosure, allowing McMahon to continue to live in it while paying rent. But now it turns out there's some competition for the $4.6 million mansion, with a second anonymous buyer emerging. Trump said, "I hope they take good care of Ed McMahon because he deserves it. The only reason anybody other than me would be interested in this house is because I showed an interest in it first. I just heard that the person negotiating doesn't have financing, and the deal would be subject to getting financing, something which I, obviously, don't need." McMahon had a $4.8 million mortgage out on the property from Countrywide, which said the 85-year-old was $644,000 behind on payments in February.




Two people helping Ed McMahon but yet Damon Dash has no angel investor?! Oh the humanity!
I'd rather see Ed evicted. Makes for good, fun-for-the-family reality tv show. Or just wickedly funny reality.
Why doesn't the Don help 85 year olds in NY who actually need it? Seeing Ed McMahon live in a modest apartment wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, considering that 85 year olds in NYC get evicted everyday.
Poor old rich man needs to continue to live like a rich man. Any idiot millionaire who can't stay in the black deserves to go into foreclosure and get evicted. Speaking of, screw Trump.
What does this have to do with Gotham?
I hope they take good care of Ed McMahon because he deserves it.
Why is he so fucking special? He sat on a couch chuckling at Johnny Carson's bad jokes and shilled for some shitty sweepstakes. Screw him. Fuck Trump too...
huh? publicity whore Trump is just getting his name in the paper
Trump is such a concerned individual. Whenever I see his name on something I just turn around and walk away knowing that it's trash bling.
Yeah I'm sure someone else put a bid on the property because the Donald showed interest. He went semi-bankrupt before and I hope he does again, only this time permanently.
Odd that Trump makes his "offer" right after gay marriage is approved in California.
Why doesn't the Publishers Clearinghouse van pull up to Ed's door with a giant check? Oh, how quickly the companies forget those who made them a household name.
Did you mean "household crime?"
When did they start delivering Budweiser 40's to the door?
