Rielle Hunter's dreams of becoming the J.K. Rowling of non-fiction didn't really pan out after her book, What Really Happened: John Edwards, Our Daughter, and Me, only sold somewhere around 6,000 copies.

After facing criticism during every major media appearance for bashing John Edwards' deceased wife in the memoir, the infamous mistress wants to turn her reputation around.

Although it seems like the public's mind has been made up, Rielle wants to turn to Donald Trump for help!

Sources are saying that the controversial blond wants to appear on Celebrity Apprentice and explained:

"Rielle admires Donald Trump and says that if he could turn villains like Real Housewives’ NeNe Leaks and Teresa Giudice into lovable TV personalities, then maybe he could do the same for her. Rielle’s reputation is pretty much mud in the public eye, but she’s delusional enough to think she can turn that around. And the truth is that if anyone can make Rielle Hunter likable, it’s Donald Trump.”

If Trump doesn't want Mz. Hunter, she'll settle for Dancing with the Stars or The Bachelorette too. We're not so sure those shows will settle for her though.

Wow. Just…wow.

During a speech in Wisconsin on Tuesday, Rick Santorum stumbled over a few words while casually bashing Barack Obama and it SOUNDS like he almost let a very, very, VERY bad word slip out!

Becoming a little tongue tied, the Republican presidential candidate stuttered out:

"We know the candidate Barack Obama, what he was like. The anti-war government ni, uh, the, uh, America was a source for."

We won't say he WAS about to call the President of the United States a racial slur, but it sounds AWFULLY suspect!

Check out the video clip above to hear his words for yourself and let us know if U think Santorum almost dropped the N-bomb!

Seriously???

Republicans just put a STOP to an amendment that would essentially block employers from forcing Facebook passwords from employees!

Democratic Senators Blumenthal and Schumer as well as other Dems have been trying to offer a legislation to prevent our privacy from being invaded.

Even Facebook ITSELF thinks the practice is against their privacy policy!

Democratic Representative Ed Perlmutter argues:

Megan Levy is a former marine with two tours of Iraq under her belt.

She became a handler for bomb sniffing dogs.

But when she retired, her dog, Rex, didn't.

After serving some more, Rex eventually came down with a condition that would lead to him having to be put to sleep if he couldn't be adopted.

So Megan has been fighting through the bureaucracy and red tape to try and get her dog to her.

Due to the power of this story (and the fact she received a purple heart) a senator, the owner of the Yankees and many others have stepped in to try and get her dog to her.

So amazing!

Horrible, horrible idea!!

Wisconsin state Senator Glenn Grothman (R) has proposed a bill that would force the state to declare that single parenthood or "nonmarital parenthood" would be considered a form of child abuse and neglect.

It also includes a section that would force the state to distribute official literature declaring it as well.

The bill states:

Iowa is trying to pass a bill similar to the one in Utah.

They want to ban animal activists from filming the animal abuse that happens inside of animal farm factories.

Senator Joe Seng, is siding with the abusers because he wants to stop workers who lie on their applications just to be able to get into the facilitates and film the abuse.

He said:

"The bill is mainly aimed at the people that are going in there to take down that business as far as being vegan, or wanting to find animal abuse or produce animal abuse within the chambers of the business."

Good thing there is a good guy in this battle against animal abusers.

Senator Jack Hatch said:

"It's trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist yet in Iowa. They are trying to prevent it from happening.

What happens if it's not in the ag industry, but you want to do it in the nursing home industry, in the hospital industry or the school industry, that's when their argument falls apart."

Lawmakers feel that the law will become law with the support of Governor Terry Branstad.

We really hope the governor gets some sense into him by the end of the week when he's due to sign the law!

Take a cue from Katherine Heigl and save the animals!!
