Donald Trump will do anything to generate a little press. That you know. This time, though, the attention addict and notorious cheapskate is scoring a little media time at the expense of former Tonight Show sidekick Ed McMahon: He released a public statement and made TV appearances this week to tell the world he's swooping in to rescue McMahon from foreclosure. Except poor Ed—who has enough drama in his life, thank you—hasn't heard a peep from The Donald or anyone else in Trump's camp. Did you lose Ed's contact info, Donald? We know how hard it must be to keep your affairs in order when you're juggling so many business ventures philanthropic endeavors. Just so you know, you can mail your check to Ed, c/o Howard Bragman, Fifteen Minutes PR, 8436 West 3rd Street, Los Angeles, CA 90048. Thanks!

The celebrity foreclosure club now includes Jose Canseco, Michael Jackson, Latrell Sprewell, Ed McMahon, Aretha Franklin, Don Johnson, and Evander Holyfield.  Celebreality to the rescue! [Luxist]
