She’s usually making headlines for her high-profile divorces, but over the weekend, Ivana Trump made headlines with her airplane etiquette.* On a flight last weekend from Palm Beach to New York, we hear Trump’s ire was reportedly raised when several children aboard her flight began running up and down the aisle before take-off. After firing off some expletives at the pint-sized offenders and getting mouthy with passengers seated near her seat in the first class cabin, police were summed to the plane by flight staff just as the flight had started taxiing for take-off. Trump was escorted from the aircraft, but was apparently not charged in the incident

Billionaires Bruce Ratner and Mikhail Prokhorov are on the verge of using the State of New York to seize the neighborhood for a stadium using New York State ’s outdated Eminent Domain laws.
