He’s suing the Morrison Cohen law firm for $5 million for mentioning he was a client on its Web site. “They put my name up all over their ads like I’m in love with them, and I really don’t like them,” Trump told The Post’s Dareh Gregorian. Trump also sued the barristers in Westchester last year, claiming they bungled a real-estate case and overcharged him. Morrison Cohen lawyer David Scharf counters that they won a multimillion-dollar judgment for Trump and that he’s just trying to get out of paying. “He owes our firm about $600,000,” Scharf said. Trump said he sent them a cease-and-desist letter demanding they take references to him off their site. “If it was somebody I was happy with, that would be one thing, but I’m not happy with them,” Trump said. Scharf said he would not take Trump’s name off his site because his firm indeed worked for him.

DONALD Trump, who owns some of the best golf courses in the world, has just bought the Shadow Isle Golf Club on 450 acres in posh Colts Neck, NJ. Taken with the quality of the Jerry Pate-designed course and a 90,000-square-foot clubhouse, more than 100 members initially joined at $200,000 a head. But then, because of financial problems and subsequent bad press, sales stopped. The new deal was made between Trump, a major local bank and the original developer for $28 million. Trump will bring in Tom Fazio or Tom Fazio II to upgrade the course. He also plans to improve the clubhouse. “This is magnificent land. When completed, I believe this club will be one of the most successful anywhere. I will be changing the name to Trump National Golf Club/Colts Neck. We already have a long list of people who want to join,” said Trump, who already has courses in Westchester, LA, Palm Beach and Puerto Rico.

Over the years we’ve had our share of great British combovers - Arthur Scargill and Bobby Charlton to name but two.

But both men would have to doff their cap to the astonishing coiffure of American billionaire Donald Trump.

Rather than invest any of his considerable fortune in a transplant or wig, the 61-year-old property magnate insists on using a series of elaborate measures to plaster strands of hair across his balding pate.

Occasionally, however, it comes unstuck - notably this week when faced with the insistent breeze on the Isle of Lewis, where he was visiting his mother’s former home.

Here, the Daily Mail shows how to achieve the Trump look … in the unlikely event that anyone would want to emulate it.

As for the man himself, he was at a public inquiry in Aberdeen yesterday to be questioned yesterday by environmental campaigners and local councillors over his plans to build ‘the world’s greatest golf course’.

After spending more than three hours giving evidence he said: ‘I am shocked to be here. I thought I would be building the course by now.’

The flamboyant tycoon wants to create two golf courses, a clubhouse, a massive hotel, a conference centre, a golf academy and 950 holiday homes on the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire, which is currently used for shooting.

Warning that turning down his plans ‘would be a terrible, terrible loss to Scotland’ he said the proposed site was currently littered with the carcases of animals.

He said: ‘It’s a total mess. When you walk on the site right now it’s sort of disgusting. There are bird carcasses lying all over the site.

‘There are dead animals all over the site that have been shot. There may be some people that are into that. I am not.

‘When I build the course we won’t be killing birds. We will be trying for birdies and eagles, but we won’t be killing them.’

The billionaire tycoon sported a somewhat flyaway version of the combover after he landed in Stornoway on his private Boeing 727, which is emblazoned with TRUMP in large gold letters on the side.

Accompanied by his older sister Maryanne, it is the first time he has been on the island since his mother took him there as a child.

And he admitted that he would probably have walked away from his plans to build a £1billion golf resort if his mother had not been from Scotland.

When asked if he would have given up on his plans for the Aberdeenshire resort after they were initially rejected by the council had his mother not been from Scotland.

He said: ‘I think probably I would have, yes.

‘It is really easy to find a nice piece of land to do something nice on. But Scotland is special and I wanted to do something special for my mother.’

Why is this trash still on? I know there's a strike, but damn how do people stand looking at that guy's hair for more than five minutes? It's wiggin' me out. That wasn't even meant to be a pun, hand to god. Here's every has been possible at a "Celebrity Apprentice" viewing party at Tejeune yesterday. This season features the usual antics. They brought that scary bitch Omarosa back, because i guess she's a "celebrity" now? And she's fighting with Piers Morgan and reportedly, champage got thrown. In the interest of being brief, here's how the exchange went. Somebody sided with somebody or whatever:

Piers: He will not take moral lectures from you young lady, you are an absurd celebrity wannabe. (Nice.)
Omoarosa: You are a never been. I would rather be a has-been than a never was. (Uh, well yeah. True?)
Piers: You don't know anything about me. I edited two of the biggest newspapers in the world for 12-years. What did you do? (Good point. But what are you doing now, P?)
Omoarosa: Piers, we know how much you like to drink so help yourself to the liquor. (That's when she splashed him.)

Apparently Piers ended up winning the challenge. About Omarosa, he said "the girl is a loser, she lost the first series of The Apprentice and she's renowned around America as a disgusting wastrel. She is a waste of space." I think he needs to be my new boyfriend. I'd be cautious because he went on "Celebrity Apprentice" but "wastrel" is my new favorite putdown.

Property mogul DONALD TRUMP is refusing to pay California officials a $10,000 application fee in his bid to fly a 400 square foot flag in Rancho Palos Verdes. The reality TV star upset locals in 2006 when he erected the illegal 70 foot flagpole at his club - the area’s height limit is 16 feet. But despite objections it’s an eyesore in an area of natural scenic beauty, councillors gave Trump a temporary permit for his flagpole on the condition he submit an application for approval to the California Coastal Commission. Trump sent in his paperwork in August 2007, but has still not paid the $10,000 application fee. He says, “Since when do you have to pay to put up the American flag?”
