September 1, 2010 (Los Angeles, CA) - THE INSIDER caught up with Donald Trump today for a new interview to air tomorrow, September 2nd.

Donald tells THE INSIDER that his wife Melania was approached to join the cast of Bravo's "The Real Housewives of NYC," saying, "They always want my wife to be on ‘Real Housewives,' but it's not her thing. She's doing QVC and she's doing great. [The show] wouldn't be for her."

Donald also offers words of encouragement to his friend Michael Douglas, saying, "He's going through a lot but we all hope he's going to be ok. He's such a great guy and an iconic figure. He's a great fighter. He's got the support of a fantastic wife Catherine and they will pull it off together."

On Douglas' ex-wife Diandra suing the actor for partial earnings from his upcoming film, "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps," Trump says, "I think it's a very ill-timed and unfair lawsuit and I don't think Michael should be liable for anything having to do with paying money for something that's taking place now. It's inappropriate and it's a lawsuit that should be dropped."

The all-new season of "The Apprentice" premieres September 16th on NBC and Trump promises, "It's going to be something very special. There are a lot of celebrity cameos."
