O’Donnell’s new game: Lead Trump off cliff
LOS ANGELES
Rosie O’Donnell is in a new feud with President Donald Trump’s supporters after promoting an online game that lets players lead Trump off a cliff.
Several conservative blogs have called attention to O’Donnell tweeting a link to pushtrumpoffacliffagain.com during the weekend. A post on Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity’s website calls the game “sick” and “gross.” Young Conservatives suggests the game encourages violence against the president.
O’Don-nell and Trump have traded barbs for years after O’Donnell publicly criticized Trump on “The View” in 2006. Trump has made her a frequent target on Twitter, calling her a loser, a bully and mentally sick over the years.
No Madonna auction
NEW YORK
An impending auction of pop star Madonna’s personal items, including a love letter from her ex-boyfriend the late rapper Tupac Shakur, a pair of previously worn panties and a hairbrush containing her hair, was halted by a judge on Tuesday.
Manhattan state Supreme Court Judge Gerald Leibovitz ordered Gotta Have It! Collectibles to pull 22 items from its rock-and-roll-themed auction scheduled for Wednesday.
The Material Girl had earlier sought an emergency court order saying she was “shocked to learn” of the planned online auction of the Tupac letter and had no idea it was no longer in her possession.
