DONALD TRUMP & FAMILY LAUNCH TRUMP INTERNATIONAL HOTEL AND TOWER TORONTO

Donald Trump & Family in Toronto - April 2012

Joining this important day in celebration of their famous Father Donald Trump, Siblings Ivanka, Eric and Donald Jr. arrived in Toronto this morning to officially launch this latest über-glamorous Hotel and Residence proudly donning their Family name.  Standing 900 ft. Trump International Hotel and Tower Toronto is now known as the tallest Residential Building in Canada, having opened its doors to the Public this January. Today marked its proper opening with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony.

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford pulled-out all the stops, hiring a Bagpiper for their Grand Entrance at 10:00 AM, formally greeting the Family.  During the Festivities, Father Trump was presented with a Toronto Maple Leafs Jersey, telling Media that this Toronto Building ranks among his own personal favourites.

For those curious, the powerful Business Magnate, Author and Television Personality's current net worth is pegged at $2 billion. A Residential Suite currently is priced up to $6.3 million, while a Presidential Suite at the Hotel can cost up to $20k a night. I wonder if they'll accept post-dated cheques.  I myself have been to the Building a few times and it is absolutely elegant. Perhaps the City's most beautiful Hotel?

STEVE JOBS IS BARBARA WALTER'S "MOST FASCINATING PERSON OF THE YEAR"

Steve Jobs

Barbara Walters unveiled her Ten Most Fascinating People of the Year and there were a number of interesting choices including accused Killer Amanda Knox, Pippa Middleton, Katy Perry, Donald Trump, Derek Jeter, Eric Stonestreet, Jesse Tyler Ferguson to The Kardashians. 

Ultimately though, Walters crowned a now-deceased Apple Mastermind Steve Jobs as the Most Fascinating Person of the Year.  "It's hard to imagine there'll be someone quite like him ever again... he always thought he was right", Walters says.  "He almost always was".

IVANKA TRUMP TO LAUNCH MAGNUM ICE CREAM IN TORONTO

Ivanka Trump

 (UPDATE: SEE PICS OF IVANKA TRUMP IN TORONTO FOR MAGNUM ICE CREAM HERE.)

In a surprising move, Magnum Ice Cream has chosen Ivanka Trump as their new Spokeswoman. The Model/Businesswoman/Author who sometimes appears on her Father Donald’s Reality Series The Apprentice, will be in Toronto on Wednesday, May 11, 2011 to launch the line of Ice Cream Bars locally.  Donald serves the "fired", Ivanka serves the "ice".

Although seemingly an odd pairing of flavours, UK/Dutch-owned Magnum Ice Cream has prior chosen sexy Celebrities like Benicio del Toro and Rachel Bilson as part of their Campaigns. Bilson only recently teamed-up with Designer Karl Lagerfeld on a series of Short Films for the Ice Cream Maker, which are slated for an unveiling late April.

The line of luxury Ice Cream Bars has been a hit overseas, launching in 1987 and has every year since 1989 introduced a new scintillating flavour to the Public.

More details will follow. Learn more about Magnum Ice Cream here.
