Donald Trump, the man who once said that Kevin Federline was "fantastic" and "doesn't get enough credit" is back in the news for sharing his thoughts on current events and pop culture icons. In an interview with NY1 that began airing last night and will continue tonight, he called President Bush "so bad, so evil that I don't think any Republican could have won." To explain his political insight, he added, "He'd go into a country, attack Iraq, which had nothing to do with the World Trade Center and just do it because he wanted to do it."

Have you seen the copper-toned glow emanating from Rockefeller Center? It's not The Tree...it's a penny harvest field! The installation is the first phase of Penny Harvest, and the copious coins came from students in NYC who have collected $1 million in change. The pennies will later go to different charities and towards improving the students communities.New York first lady Silda Wall Spitzer joined hundreds of public school children on Monday to unveil a mass...

You would have thought Delilah shaved Samson's head again after the breathless reports of Britney Spears shaved her head Friday night. Apparently the pop singer-mother-train wreck did the deed before going to a Sherman Oaks tattoo parlor and giving the tabloids something to pun about.

The divorce proceedings of a bubblegum-snapping Britney Spears were spoofed on Saturday Night Live (video - click the one of Amy Poehler in a blunt cut wig) last night. While we can only wish that Kevin Federline had opened up a club just for pit bulls - which failed because, you know, pit bulls don't have money - it turns out that Britney might not be that dumb given her pre-nup. The NY Post, by way of Britain's Daily Mail, says the pre-nup gives $300,000 to KFed.

The 60-page prenup, prepared by her legal team - headed by hotshot Hollywood matrimonial attorney Laura Wasser - protects a net worth estimated at the time to be in the range of $100 million.

The -ists this week had politics on the brain. And what goes better with politics? Partying-- that's two great tastes in one. Oh, and Kevin Federline...can't forget about Kevin Federline. That's three great tastes in one.

- Walter Pertyk, the teen who dressed as Hitler (for Halloween) at his Brooklyn public high school, walked in the march that protested his actions. He tells the Post, "They called it a walk of tolerance and respect, so I figured I would go and show my tolerance and respect for other people's views of my costume." It's suddenly sounding like the Death Camp of Tolerance episode of South Park.

Let's take a look back at a week that raised this Zen koan: if Kevin Federline got into a wrestling ring with a wrestler, who would you root for?

Also, please comment with guesses in the comment section on what K-Fed meant when he said "let's do it big 96" in his speech about how much he loves pennies. Our only guess is that he got the year wrong. That can't be it, can it?

In one of the more odd press releases we have received this week, we learn that Sir Richard Branson and Kevin Federline will be teaming up to "save the U.S. penny from annihilation". Yes, the two unite with Common Cents Policy Director Matthew Eggers to put emphasis on the value of a penny (that K-Fed really is simple isn't he), in the face of its possible legislative elimination.

Animal Magazine's 6th Issue comes out this week-- and Bucky was nice enough to messenger us over a copy, since we unfortunately missed Animal's "Save Krucoff" themed party at BLVD on Wednesday night. The magazine is beatuiful and glossy and filled with pictures of scantily clad girls-- but we were interested in one feature in particular: a series of interviews with some of our NYC blog colleagues. Our favorite quotes:

Does FreshDirect explain its "no tipping" policy to its employees? Because Tessa on Metroblogging recounted getting mugged by her FreshDirect delivery guy last week:

The delivery guy who was a cross between Mark Wahlberg and Kevin Federline told me tipping was optional. I told him I knew. He then said "Where's my tip?"

Guests dined on chicken fingers, crab cakes, ribs, Waldorf salad, and the newlyweds danced to Journey's City by the Bay. Britney gave Kevin a platinum ring with diamonds, and she got a platinum band.Chicagoist on Britney's engagement ring and Gothamist on Britney's first marriage. And for many, many things Britney, check out Stereogum, unofficial chronicler of everyone's favorite Mouseketeer.

So we last left the cast burning all of their items in a post-tag sale, cleansing, "past be gone" bonfire...as Radiohead's played in the background. Has anyone "been pulled out of the aircrash" since? Not quite yet, in fact this last episode may have left some of the Fishers boarding a doomed plane.
