Posada Sorry For Diva Behavior, Yankees Won't Punish Him

Posada Sorry For Diva Behavior, Yankees Won't Punish Him

After sitting out Saturday's game, Yankees catcher Jorge Posada apologized to the Yankees organization. Posada was upset about being placed ninth in the lineup (his performance hasn't been great lately), but he apparently felt awful about his stunt— yesterday, he told nearly tearfully told reporters, "I just talked to [manager Joe] Girardi. I kind of apologized to him. I just had a bad day (Saturday) and, reflecting on it and stuff, it's all the frustration, it came out. I'm trying to move on." more ›

Is Donald Trump The Least Charitable Hairpiece Of All Time?

Is Donald Trump The Least Charitable Hairpiece Of All Time?

There's a lot of things we could debate about Donald Trump: is he seriously running for president? Does he really think Obama wasn't born in the US? Is that his real hair? If that is his real hair, why doesn't he do something about it? Does he not realize that people are staring at him? But there's one thing that has always seemed rather irrefutable: Trump is pretty darn rich (or else he'll sue you). Now here's another thing that seems rather irrefutable: Trump is pretty darn cheap when it comes to charitable donations. more ›

Donald "Worst Nightmare" Trump told the Wall Street Journal yesterday that he'd "probably" run as an independent if he doesn't get the nod from the GOP, declaring, “I hate what’s happening to the country." But, unlike Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney, Trump won't decide until this summer—see, even though he hates what's happening to this country, "I can’t run during the airing of [Celebrity Apprentice]. I’m not allowed to." Hmm, will the Republicans beg NBC to order another few seasons of the show to run back-to-back for a while? more ›

Trump Deposition Nets Valuable Lesson His Wealth

Trump Deposition Nets Valuable Lesson His Wealth

Remember how Donald Trump was suing a NY Times business editor Timothy O'Brien and the publishers of his book, TrumpNation: The Art of Being The Donald, for $5 billion, because The Donald felt it misstated his wealth by billions (Smith's estimate: $150-250 million)? Well, as a hearing is scheduled to take place today, the Wall Street Journal pored over a 2007 deposition that Trump made about his wealth. He said, "My net worth fluctuates, and it goes up and down with markets and with attitudes and with feelings, even my own feeling," and when asked if he's "familiar with the concept of net present value?," Trump replies, "The concept of net present value to me would be the value of the land currently after debt...Well, to me, the word 'net' is an interesting word. It's really — the word 'value' is the important word." Ever the cheerleader, the real estate developer explains, "Would you like me to say, oh, gee, the building is not doing well, blah, blah, blah, come by, the building -- nobody talks that way. Who would ever talk that way?" [via Daily Intel] more ›
