Donald Trump gives ‘American Chopper’ duo advice — VIDEO

Donald Trump wants the American Chopper team to build him a bike.

On back-to-back episodes of the Discovery hit airing this Monday, Trump stops by and meets Paul Senior and the crew. Senior talks to Trump about how his legendarily estranged relationship with Junior. Trump, naturally, thinks about the split in financial terms.

“Don’t leave him anything,” Trump advises. “Don’t leave him 10 cents.” See the exclusive video clip below.

This will air about a week before NBC's Celebrity Apprentice returns. Say... you don't think manicured business tycoon would suddenly develop an interest in motorcycles just to promote the return of his NBC show, do you? Why, that's crazy, that would be like saying he wanted to run for president or something...

Celine Dion Gives Birth to Twin Boys - PopEater

Celine Dion and husband Rene Angelil are doubly joyful this weekend, welcoming fraternal twin boys who were delivered via C-section on Saturday morning in West Palm Beach, Fla., joining big brother Rene-Charles, age 9.

The babies have not yet been named, according to People.com. "Celine is resting now and they plan to discuss what to name the boys when she wakes up," her spokesperson says. "René-Charles has been to the hospital to visit his brothers, and is just so excited they are here."

Dion's new sons were born at 5 lbs., 10 oz., and 5 lbs., 4 oz., and are premature but healthy. They will reportedly spend a few days in neonatal intensive care, a common procedure for newborn twins, who often arrive before their due date.

At a press conference outside St. Mary's Medical Center, Dion's longtime obstetrician talked about the successful delivery -- and what the babies look like.

The Canadian chanteuse, 42, has been open in recent years about her struggle to conceive. She revealed in May that she was pregnant, after undergoing a sixth attempt at in-vitro fertilization.

NBC gives full seasons to 'The Event,' 'Outsourced' and 'LOLA' - HitFix

Sinking ratings be darned, NBC has given full-season pick-ups to "The Event," "Law & Order: Los Angeles" and "Outsourced.""We are pleased with the quality of 'The Event,' 'Law & Order: Los Angeles' and 'Outsourced,' and feel they are an important part of helping to re-build our schedule and our studio pipeline," states NBC Entertainment President Angela Bromstad. "We believe in these new series and the creative auspices behind them."Using Nielsen Media Research's "most current" averages -- a calculation that includes available weeks of live+7 data inexplicable averaged in with more recent weeks of standard live+same-day data -- "The Event" is averaging 9.1 million viewers overall and a 3.0 demo rating. Those numbers are less impressive if you remember that "The Event" averaged roughly 11 million viewers and a 3.7 demo rating in overnights for its premiere and has subsequently suffered extreme viewer attrition in each passing week. NBC notes that time-shifting numbers strongly benefitted "The Event," which  gained 35 percent of its premiere week audience in live+7.It also helps the cause that "The Event" was licensed in 200 international territories before its US premiere."Law & Order: Los Angeles" has averaged a 2.5 rating and 8.7 million viewers, using only live+same-day figures, which remains less impressive if you remember that more than 10.5 million viewers watched the show's premiere. NBC prefers to emphasize the 45 percent viewership increase over "The Jay Leno Show" last fall.With "Outsourced," we go back to "most current" averages to see that the Thursday comedy has averaged 6.3 million viewers and a 3.0 demo rating.These three pickups leave "Undercovers" and "Chase," struggling on Wednesday and Monday nights, awaiting word on their futures. NBC has already stopped production on "Outlaw" and moved remaining episodes to Saturday night, effectively canceling the legal drama.Meanwhile, "LOLA," "The Event" and "Outsourced" join FOX's "Raising Hope" as the first new shows to get full-season orders.

Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin's clothing store break-in gives them good PR - SheKnows.com

Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna, along with the rest of America, learned of a break-in at the clothing store live on national television. Could this actually help their careers?

Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna

Husband and wife actors Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna had their Sherman Oaks, Calif. clothing store burglarized this morning -- and Today Show viewers were there to hear the drama unfolding.

Hamlin and Rinna were on the show to discuss their new books, reality show and plastic surgery when Hamlin told hosts Kathy Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb that he needed to take a call because their stores was hit by robbers.

"The store is being robbed?" Hamlin asked the caller about their store, Belle Gray. "They take much? They took piles from the first two racks, yes?"

An annoyed Hamlin later told the hosts that Belle Gray was robbed on two previous occasions. "That's real life!" a surprised Rinna told Gifford and Kotb.

The unfortunate break-in is definitely a public relations coup for the C-list couple, especially with two books and a reality show to promote. Honestly, who would pay attention otherwise? They haven't acted in a hit show or movie in years, and Rinna is known more for her botched plastic surgeries than her acting ability. Now they're receiving media coverage all over the web and TV -- you can't buy that kind of PR!

So, it's safe to say the robbers gave Rinna and Hamlin much more than they took. In fact, we think Rinna and Hamlin should shake the perps' hands if they're ever caught.

OK. OK. No, robbery is never a good thing, but in the short run it's helping their careers.

The world is a funny place sometimes, isn't it?
