Ivanka Trump just got married. Meanwhile the father of the bride, Donald Trump, gave his blessing and said of the marriage, “It’s going to be great,” and when asked if the two were a match made in heaven, he replied, “I think it is.”

Ivanka’s mother Ivana, a family friend Nikki Haskell and other family members also attended the reception. Ivanka said “I do” at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey on Sunday. The bride walked down the aisle in a custom Vera Wang gown as more than 500 guests looked on, including Regis Philbin and Barbara Walters.

Former child star Mackenzie Phillips is defending her father, 60s musician John Phillips, with whom she claims she had a decade-long sexual relationship.

“My father was not a bad man,” she said on the Today show Thursday. “He was a very sick man. And if anyone out there can possibly separate his body of work from his personal demons, I think that would be the honorable thing to do.”

Mackenzie, 49, added that her father — with whom she says she also did drugs — “didn’t set out to hurt me. He did the best with what he had. He was a damaged guy.”

She also clarified reports that their relationship — which she details in her new book, High on Arrival — lasted 10 years.
“At 18, I was molested. Then maybe three years later, I started waking up later with my pants down around my ankles,” she said. “And then maybe two years after that, it became consensual.”

“So to call it a 10-year relationship is not correct,” she added. “This was a warped event that occurred over time.”

Despite the criticism, Mackenzie said on the Today show, “the outpouring of support from other incest survivors has been phenomenal.”"This is a subject that is so incredibly taboo, as it should be, but there needs to be a dialogue about it,” she continued. “The covers need to be pulled.”

Jon Gosselin is a concerned father - or so it appears in an exclusive interview for ET.

“I’m doing this to protect my kids because my kids have asked sometimes that they don’t want to be filmed,” Jon tells Mary Hart of ET. “My kids need to come off the show.”

His estranged wife Kate, in her own statement to ET, says her main priority is the children’s well-being. But Jon begs to differ.

“She says, ‘It’s financially rewarding. Blah-blah-blah.’ I’m like, ‘It doesn’t matter.’” He continues: “At what price is it going to be for your kids? I mean, are you going to sacrifice their childhood for a couple bucks?”

Brad Pitt, his beard and his son Maddox were at JFK yesterday, en route to France to meet up with Angelina and the rest of the Jolie-Pitt clan.

I’m kind of liking Brad’s suit but can’t Angie tell him that greying beard has got to go? You’d think he has enough money to have someone fix it. Maddox seems shy and embarrassed. It’s so sad being a celebrity kid, but at least he has a First Class seat and a big trust fund to comfort him!
