With her trademark clown makeup seemingly permanently spackled on, Christina Aguilera attended The Trump International Hotel & Tower Dubai event in Los Angeles last night.
The new mom got paid big bucks to be the sole performer at Donald Trump’s lavish Dubai hotel launch — before it has even been built.
Other stars attending the exclusive party, thrown by Trump and His Excellency Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem at a private estate in Bel-Air, included Hilary Swank, Russell Crowe, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Orlando Bloom, Hayden Panettiere, Ali Larter, Brent Bolthouse, Kate Walsh, HBO honcho Colin Callendar and Wolfgang Puck.
As for the hotel? The proposed project will be a 62-story, stainless steel and glass luxury hotel/residence masterpiece — which will be tallest structure on Palm Jumeirah and is expected to be completed in summer 2011.

Is there no end to their on-going feud?
Rosie O’Donnell, whose war with Donald Trump became the hottest Hot Topic during her stint at ‘The View’, is taking yet another jab at Trump. This time in her new book ‘Celebrity Detox’ which hits store shelves October 2, she calls Trump a “torn scarecrow” and “a slug.”
Ro also writes about the Tara Connor scandal. You know, the Miss USA caught underage drinking and who tested positive for cocaine, but was allowed to enter rehab and keep her title?
Rosie writes:
“I honestly did not anticipate the malice of his response . . . I assumed Donald believed he had money. I did not assume Donald believed he was money. But apparently he does . . . The stuffing of his self spilled out - think of a torn scarecrow, only instead of hay, it’s crisp $100 bills blowing through the cornfields.”
The Donald, however, is not going to take this without stirring up some controversy of his own. He too has a book coming out next month called ‘Think Big and Kick Ass’, about which he says:
“I devote some time to Rosie in my book. As you know, she said I went bankrupt and ABC apologized. Rosie lies. I got angry because I never went bankrupt. I’m worth 8 billion today. She never said that. She writes false stuff . . . Rosie is a loser, a very sad case - unattractive both inside and out. I’ll make a little wager my book sells a lot more than hers.”
And while Ro’s rep, Cindi Berger, denies the possibility that anyone could have seen her new book yet, Page Six has a source who claims to have read every word. Their thoughts? “This is the work of a deeply disturbed woman, page after page of insane ramblings. Ultimately, it’s sad and pathetic.”

Leave it up to Donald Trump to get his rosacea-covered nose involved in Hollywood’s latest scandal.
The fame-seeking publicity whore claims he is in talks with Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan for an appearance on his upcoming reality show ‘Celebrity Apprentice.’
His aim behind this offer is to help the three beleaguered celebrities save their image. Uh-huh!
Trump tells Page Six: “”We’re negotiating with Britney right now. Can you imagine her doing it? We’re not sure what will happen. She’s a [bleep]ing mess. And that little reality show she had did nothing. But she likes the idea of being on television and I think she’d be great.”
As for Paris? “(Hilton) wants to be on, and we’re thinking about it, but I don’t know if we’re going to do it.”
And although Trump admitted that he had not contacted Lindsay to date, he insisted that his show could prove beneficial to her as well: “Another [bleep]ing mess. We haven’t asked her yet, but I’m going to call her this week. It would a positive thing for her to do . . . for all of them.”
Ahh, you just gotta love Trump’s exploit-’em-while-their-down motto to business and life!

The product doesn’t fall too far from the publicity machine….
Joined by her branding tramp father Donald, 25-year-old heiress Ivanka Trump stepped out in style last night to celebrate her cover of Stuff magazine’s Fall Fashion Preview issue at Trump Tower in New York City.
But it appears not everything that Trump touches turns into gold — it was recently announced that after years of parading scantily clad young women on its covers, the magazine will fold as of October.

Whowouldathunkit: Donald Trump is taking Rosie O’Donnell’s side in her latest feud with Elisabeth Hasselbeck over Iraq.
He tells Extra: “On this one I think Rosie should win, but Rosie is not much herself… I think anybody that’s against the war in Iraq is the winner of the fight, because to justify the war in Iraq - only an imbecile could do that.”
Elisabeth, he says, is “one of the dumber people in television.”
Uhh….Team Donald? Team Rosie? Team not Elisabeth!

Donald Trump became a grandfather over the weekend, 14 months after he became a dad all over again.
The baby girl, Kai Madison, was born to Donald Trump Jr. and his wife, Vanessa, on Saturday in New York, according to published reports. She weighed 6 pounds, 14 ounces.
Trump Jr. told People magazine from the hospital that he is getting used to the idea of being a father. “Everyone’s great,” he said.
Trump Sr. later added, “This baby is the best and biggest baby of all babies. Ever. This baby puts to shame all babies ever born before her.”
Congratulations to the couple. We’re sure young Kai is happily resting in her gold-plated crib.

Flocked by newshounds Monday afternoon outside the Eugene O’Neill Theater, where she was hosting a panel discussion about teen issues with the ‘Degrassi Kids’, Rosie O’Donnell crowed to the crowd, “You’ll hear very soon” about her plans for post-View existence.
Rosie revealed not a bit more, instead only signing autographs for fans.
Hey, as long as those plans don’t involve being Donald Trump’s concubine, I’m happy.

Ivanka Trump left her trademark sharply-cut business suits at the office last night, opting to step out in a rather different ensemble.
Rocking a yellow tartan creation, the Trump heiress set flashbulbs popping as she took to the runway for the annual Dressed to Kilt fashion show. The bosomtastic daughter of Donald Trump (who was proudly sitting front row) proudly showed off her Scottish ancestry in a traditional dress with aplomb.
Glasgow-born ‘Lord Of The Rings’ hunk Billy Boyd got into the spirit of things too, sporting a flamboyant Royal Stewart tartan outfit complete with white curly wig.
Adding Highland glamour to the event was Linda Hamilton and male model Marcus Schenkenberg, who set female hearts aflutter when he showed off his legs in a stylish pinstripe kilt.
