Andrew Dice Clay was the first celebrity to be terminated on Celebrity Apprentice this past Sunday. He was fired for cause. Bottom line, he used poor judgment throughout the task, beginning with his “subtle” inferences to the boss, Donald Trump, that there was no food available to the celebrities when they arrived at Trump Towers.

Trump’s troubles selling his pricey home mirror the struggles many sellers are having in moving their own residences.

Three writers at the Wall Street Journal recently wrote an interesting story on those condo/hotels that were built, reporting that many of the buyers who’ve purchased individual condominium units aren’t happy with their investment.

Trump International Hotel & Tower, Trump’s Chicago hotel/condominium project, closed its 125th hotel/condominium unit late last month. That pace is surely slower than what Trump Tower’s sales would have been in a stronger residential market.

Yet, there was the lastest issue of the magazine proudly featuring a grinning Trump on its cover and declaring that, yes, the real estate mogul had purchased the publication.

Crain’s Chicago Business, a top business newspaper, reported in early December that a Mandarin Oriental hotel/condominium project near Chicago’s Millennium Park is facing financial difficulties that may be enough to scuttle the highly anticipated project.
