Trump booted from Fla. flight

Police say Ivana Trump was escorted off a plane in Palm Beach after she became belligerent when children were running and screaming in the aisles.

Authorities say the first ex-wife of billionaire Donald Trump cussed at the children Saturday, and when flight attendants on the New York-bound plane tried to calm her, she became even more aggravated.

Trump has not been charged in the incident at Palm Beach International Airport.

Palm Beach County sheriff's deputies asked Trump to voluntarily exit the plane, but they said she refused. She was then escorted off.

Jon Gosselin's apartment ransacked

Jon Gosselin's New York apartment was ransacked by someone who slashed furniture, stole his TV and left a note pinned to his dresser with a butcher knife while he visited his children for Christmas, his lawyer said Sunday.

The reality show star was "devastated" by the destruction he found when he returned to the city Saturday from Pennsylvania, attorney Mark Jay Heller said in a statement. Heller wouldn't disclose who signed the note or what it said, adding that police were examining it. Police declined to comment.

Gosselin, 32, was half of the couple who rose to fame on TLC's "Jon & Kate Plus 8" before divorcing this year.
