Yet more proof Ann Coulter likes to hear herself talk - and that talk shows like that! She appeared on The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, and talks about how Jews need perfecting - "we just want Jews to be perfected, as they say" - to the point of being Christians. Deutsch was shocked, argued with her, and went to commercial by saying, "Ann Coulter, author of If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans,......

No one needed any more reasons to watch Project Jay, the one hour special about the season one winner of Project Runway, Jay McCarroll, but after reading Virginia Heffernan's assessment in the Times, we Can. Not. Wait. Saying that if he were better-looking, he'd be stupid and die of AIDS? His disdainful family and Heidi Klum's pregnancy-induced indecisiveness? Just living in Park Slope? And that hat is so great. Oh, Jay, we miss you from......

Could too much publicity be a (gasp) bad thing? Well, if you're an "escort" and bragging about making big bucks, then, yeah, maybe. Natalia McLennan, who was profiled in a New York magazine cover story, was charged with money laundering, prostitution and promoting prostitution last week. Her lawyer complained to the NY Post that McLennan was arrested because:"[The police] pieced together basically quotes from all the articles about her and interviews that she's done. It's......

The Post has zeroed in on someone to blame for the Popsicle Melting Incident of '05, and they found someone with a huge target on his head: Advertising agency owner and "talk show" host Donny Deutsch. While Deutsch's agency helped create the promotion with Snapple, so the Post can't really blame just Donny, but they blast the headline "Guru Donny Behind P.R. Meltdown" and say that, "in a violation of one of the first principles......

The hits keep coming for former Bronx Borough President Fernando Ferrer: City Councilman Charles Barrons says Ferrer should get out of the mayoral race and support Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia's Field mayoral bid. Barron says Ferrer is "free-falling and it's not going to stop." For his part, Ferrer says he has a right to run. And, Gothamist would imagine, a right to lose. But things aren't that cheery for Ferrer, not to mention the......

Jay McCarroll, you rule. Not only do you win Project Runway, but you sorta served Donny Deutsch on his own show. The folks at NBC Universal, which owns both Bravo (that's why Heidi Klum was interviewed on the Today Show) and CNBC (duh), had Jay head over to The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch. Donny blabbed on about giving Jay some marketing and business advice, but this was Gothamist's favorite part: DEUTSCH: You are a......

Last night, the producers of The Apprentice" href="http://www.nbc.com/nbc/The_Apprentice_3/index.shtml">The Apprentice tried to mix business with one of the most non-business forms in NYC - graffiti. The two teams were supposed to promote Sony Playstation's Gran Turismo 4 by painting a mural on a Harlem wall that would appeal to an urban, hip demographic (Sony Playstation was mentioned throughout the show, ensuring that Nintendo executives are gnashing their teeth). The team leaders were Alex for Magna (aka......

Gothamist is just noting that it's so cute that Donny Deutsch, ad man, one-time New York magazine bidder, associate of Donald Trump, CNBC squawker, all-around idea man, is called "Donnie" Deutsch in David Carr's article about Michael Wolff leaving New York magazine for Vanity Fair. Something about a Ronnie: Run! Ronnie! Run!, that went straight to video and even Cross and Bob Odenkirk want it dead ("Run, Ronnie, Run Away") but features many Mr. Show......
