TRUMP REACHES OUT TO IVANA


DONALD Trump has had his differences with ex-wife Ivana over the years, but he phoned her after reading our story about her meltdown at the Carousel of Hope ball in Beverly Hills, and offered his help. "He told her he'd love to help her quit drinking," said an insider. "But she told him she just had a bad reaction to NyQuil. She's in denial." Trump, whose older brother, Fred, died of alcoholism, has always been a teetotaler. He recently told a friend, "If I drank, it's guaranteed I'd be an alcoholic, with the life I lead." But while Trump has always tried to be supportive of the mother of three of his kids, he doesn't want her using the Trump name in connection with real estate developments - particularly after two projects she was promoting went bust, one in Las Vegas and one in Australia. "She's not allowed to use 'Trump.' We stopped her," The Donald told a friend. "I have 72 buildings going up. I can't let that happen." Meanwhile, Trump will earn $30 million next year by making 20 speeches for the Learning Annex on a tour that kicks off in Atlanta in February. "It's good money for 20 hours of work," understated Trump.
