Times Square Gossip

New Yorker Trump Cover I started to write this for a Facebook reply to a celebrity who thinks the new Cover In The New Yorker is horrible. My reply got so long, thought is was better on Times Square Gossip. I have known and photographed Donald Trump for over 30 years. I have been in his apartment, I have been to Mar A Lago, I know this guy. One Celebrity who I will not mention posted saying The New Yorker has hit a all time low with their cover of Trump.  This is what Trump has done to this country. The most highly regarded publications are getting down in the shit with Trump. Bush and Obama had class. Even when you disagreed with them, they answered you with class. Trump is a proven liar. He was well before he was president. Those of us who know him and have photographed him and written about him for 30 years knows what he is. A piece of crap. Trump is not only unfit mentally to be president, he is trying to set up the world so he can be the rul...

**** TIMES SQUARE GOSSIP BOOKS **** The Tap From January to February, real estate artist and philanthro-capitalist Frank McKinney will traverse the country in a tour bus, stopping at homeless shelters, soup kitchens and food pantries to give aspirational talks on how all of us, including the most desperately poor and homeless, can move from survival to thrival. McKinney's Caring House Project Foundation will make significant donations to each of the shelters/kitchens/pantries hosting him. How significant? At least $25 for each person who attends his talk: if 200 show up, then $5,000 goes to the kitchen/shelter/pantry, and if it's 400, then $10,000, and so on. In addition, individuals who have fallen on hard times will be given direct financial assistance along the way. Most unique, McKinney will change places with one family at each stop on the Survival to Thrival Tour. He'll stay on the streets or at the shelter while another stays at his hotel or in his tour bus for the...

**** TIMES SQUARE GOSSIP HALL OF SHAME **** H&M STORES AND WAL-MART **** H&M Stores Stories like this make us sick. According to The New York Times and other media outlets H&M in New York City's Herald Square has been throwing out good clothes and slashing them so they could not be resold or used by anyone needy. Garbage bags of unsold merchandise, most of it slashed with razors to ensure that no one would ever wear or sell it. Cynthia Magnus, who made the sad discovery at the H&M in Manhattan's Herald Square, said. "Gloves with the fingers cut off, Warm socks". Cute patent leather Mary Jane school shoes, maybe for fourth graders, with the instep cut up with a scissor. Men's jackets, slashed across the body and the arms. The puffy fiber fill was coming out in big white cotton balls." The jackets were tagged $59, $79 and $129. And right around the corner from this particular H&M is a collection point for New York Cares' coat drive. T...

Halle Berry isn't homeless anymore ! Halle Berry lived in a homeless shelter when she first left home.The Oscar-winning actress has revealed her mother refused to support her when she ran out of money aged 21 - leaving her homeless. Halle, 40, told Reader's Digest magazine: "But a girl had to do what a girl had to do. You can do that when you're 21 and ambitious and your eyes are this big and you don't want to go home. I became a person who knows that I will always make my own way."When I moved to Chicago, she drove me there, but I don't think she ever thought it would pan out. After a month or two, I ran out of money and called her."I said, 'Mom, I hate to ask you this, but could you send me some money? I just have rent money, I can't eat this week.'"And she said no. She said, 'I'm not going to start this calling home asking mom for money. No, figure it out or come home.' I was so mad. I didn't speak to her for a ye...

Christian Bale Is Better Action Star Christian Bale would only star in a romantic comedy if he was homeless.The 'Batman Begins' star considers himself a serious actor and would only ever agree to appear in a funny love story if he was seriously desperate. Bale told America's GQ magazine : "I will never say never, but I will say never to doing the more typical romantic comedies. You know, unless I'm getting audited and I'm on the street and I desperately need some dough and that's the only thing that I'm getting. In terms of the romantic kind of lead, I just never enjoy those movies very much."Bale admits his opinions may change as he ages, but he believes romantic comedies are a total contradiction.The 33-year-old explained: "Maybe they'll come to interest me more as I get older. I doubt it, but maybe. Romantic comedies tend to be, for me, an oxymoron."
