Donald Trump says… if Mitt Romney offered him a position in the President’s cabinet, he would take the gig in a heartbeat … and would do a MUCH better job than the “clowns” currently in place.
Right after Trump endorsed Romney for the Republican nomination earlier today, The Donald called in to TMZ Live … and Harvey asked if he would consider switching professions to work for the President of the United States if Romney was elected.
Trump replied, “I love what I do … I love the real estate business, I love building things … but I love the country even more … if i can do anything to help, whether it’s [under] Mitt Romney or anybody else … I would love to do it … if it’s good for the country.”
Trump added, “I will say this … I’d rather have me negotiating against China, against OPEC and against lots of other people that are laughing at how stupid we are … I would rather have me negotiating for us than the clowns that are negotiating right now.” (TMZ)

NEW DELHI – Arnold Schwarzenegger joined the growing list of Hollywood A-listers visiting India for the first time when he landed in the capital to address the 12th Delhi Sustainable Development Summit held Thursday.
The DSDS is organized by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) and has emerged as an important forum on global sustainability issues.
The Terminator star jetted into New Delhi late Wednesday night, checking into the Taj Palace Hotel where he was welcomed with a traditional Indian garland. He soon posted a picture of himself with the garland on his Twitter account, stating “This is how they greeted me in Delhi. Does anyone have some good restaurants or other tips?”
Schwarzenegger’s arrival at the opening of the summit held at the Taj Palace Hotel Thursday morning created an expected flurry as delegates and photographers jostled to take pictures.
In his address, the former California governor said he wished to instill in people a similar enthusiasm for the environment as he did earlier for body-building.

Kim Kardashian is in desperate need of an upgrade — hitting the streets in Miami yesterday to find an even bigger home for her beachfront clothing boutique … to accommodate its exploding popularity.
Sources tell TMZ, the Miami D-A-S-H store (below) has become so successful, it can no longer cater to the massive flux of customers coming and going on a daily basis … so Kim wants something a little roomier, scoping out possible new locations herself.
Kim’s not messing around either — we’re told she’s in the market for retail space that’s around DOUBLE the size of the current D-A-S-H store … not bad.
So far, no word on anything that isn’t making Kim tons of money. (TMZ)

The Super Bowl was definitely a source of inspiration for Madonna while creating her latest video “Give Me All Your Luvin’”.
Madge has teamed up with super hot Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. That’s a great way to maintain all those young listeners.
Although the 53-year-old singer’s body looks phenomenal, we’re still kind of confused at the plot of the video. The football players make sense, but the baby carriage?
Can’t wait to see Madonna perform at this Sunday’s half time show! (X17) PoliticsofHollywood/ Varona

See how one of the world’s top film stars lives – away from the spotlight.
George Clooney has opened up his Los Angeles home to CBS News, showing off his kitchen (where he orders dinner), his screening room and bar, for a revival of the classic celebrities-at-home program Person to Person,made famous in the 1950s by Edward R. Murrow.
Along with his palatial digs, the Oscar winner, 50, also introduces viewers to a very special friend – his roommate Einstein, a black cocker spaniel whom he rescued in 2010. ”The dog came in and threw himself at me,” Clooney recalls, “and I find that works also with some actors.”
Clooney also shows off some favorite photographs, including a Rat Pack photograph from the original Ocean’s Eleven.
The new Person to Person episode, airing on CBS next Wednesday, Feb. 8 (8 p.m. ET), will also feature Jon Bon Jovi, who opens up his 16-acre New Jersey estate that includes a recording studio and its own pub, and Warren Buffett, who gives a tour of his Omaha, Neb., office. (People/Nudd)

CBS Films/”The Woman in Black”The third new film of the weekend is Universal’s family friendly whale pic Big Miracle, starring Drew Barrymore and John Krasinski. Super Bowl weekend is always a popular landing pad for genre fare, along with family friendly titles like Big Miracle.
Tracking suggests Chronicle and Woman in Black could end up in a relatively close battle for the No. 1 spot, although some giveChronicle a slight edge. They’re both expected to open in the low- to mid-teens, although both Fox and CBS Films are giving more conservative estimates. Big Miracle should follow with an opening gross in the high single digits or low teens.
Chronicle, about a group of friends who acquire superpowers and use them to make mischief until one of them begins using them for darker purposes, is tracking best with younger men. Produced for a modest $12 million, the edgy film was directed by Josh Trankand stars Dane DeHaan, Michael B. Jordan and Michael Kelly.
Woman in Black, based on Susan Hill’s novel of the same name, was produced by Hammer Film Productions and preemptively acquired by CBS Films just before the Cannes Film Festival last year. Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Ciaran Hinds and Janet McTeer, the ghost story was directed by James Watkins and is showing impressive strength among young women. Read More:

Joe Jackson must have been having an out-of-body experience Friday … the man who played the role of marionette to one of the most successful musical groups ever spent the day hocking cheap perfume at a Las Vegas mall. 
Joe was the special guest at the Julian Rouas Paris kiosk, which is hocking “Jackson Perfumes.” A famous sketch of Michael Jackson looms large amidst the perfumes.
And the whole operation may be illegal.
As TMZ previously reported — Bravado International — which owns the trademark to all things Michael Jackson – is suing Julian Rouas Paris, alleging the company never got permission to use Michael’s name or image.
But that didn’t stop Joe, although it appears he dozed off during the slow period.
The good news … there’s no line if you want an autograph.
