If you weren’t familiar, Trump, the president, has set out to defund the arts program around the US. But that doesn’t stop the jackass from assuming the art world would provide him with one of its most priceless pieces, right? Ass.
The First Couple had asked the Guggenheim to borrow Van Gogh’s 1888 “Landscape with Snow” painting for their private White House quarters, but a curator responded that the museum no longer had the work.
However, the Upper East Side museum could offer the presidential couple another piece: a fully functional toilet made out of solid 18-karat gold entitled “America.”
The shimmering art piece, created by Italian-born artist Maurizio Cattelan, is estimated to have cost more than $1 million to make.
Curator Nancy Spector wrote back that the Van Gogh was a no-go, but pointed out that Cattelan’s interactive “America” was available after concluding a year-long exhibit in a public bathroom on the museum’s fifth floor. The toilet had been used by visitors but was available “should the President and First Lady have any interest,” Spector wrote.
Side note: Have you ever seen Trumps NYC penthouse? It’s quite possible he’s shit in a gold toilet already.

Harvey Weinstein made his personal assistant wipe down the furniture after his frequent office trysts and even pick up used syringes after he injected his penis with a Viagra-like drug, a new suit charges.
Sandeep Rehal “was required to be involved in and aware of the preparation for, and clean up after, Harvey Weinstein’s extremely prolific sexual encounters,” her Manhattan federal court suit says.
“Another ‘task’ Ms. Rehal was forced to do to aid Harvey Weinstein’s sexual encounters was to clean up the semen on the couch in Harvey Weinstein’s office… on a regular basis,” the suit says.
But the married 65-year-old producer needed a boost to consummate the frequent trysts, so Rehal provided that, too, she says in court papers.
The 26-year-old managed “the stock of Caverject shots for his erectile dysfunction,” referring to the medication that’s injected directly into the penis.
“She had to obtain the shots and keep them stocked in a ?cabinet behind her desk at Harvey Weinstein’s TWC office,” the suit says, using the initials of The Weinstein Company.
“Every time Harvey Weinstein went to meet a woman at a hotel, in the office, or elsewhere, which occurred on average at least three times a week when he was in New York, Ms. Rehal was required as part of her job to provide [him] with a shot, which she placed in his jacket pocket or in a brown paper bag,” the suit states.
After he’d administer the cringe-worthy injection and have sex with a stable of “girls” that Rehal maintained in a list, she’d retrieve the used syringes and condoms from hotel rooms before “housekeeping personnel would do their work,” the suit says.
The list, called “Harvey’s Friends,” had the women’s names with asterisks next to his favorites.
When Weinstein’s regular London doctor stopped prescribing him the impotence drugs, he paid Rehal a $500 bonus to find him a replacement supply, the suit says.
“In a futile attempt to minimize Harvey Weinstein’s comments about her appearance, Ms. Rehal started wearing pants,” she says in the suit.
He allegedly responded by complaining, “You used to dress so cute and now what’s going on?”
He demeaned his assistant by calling her a “c—t” and a “p—y,” in front of other company staff and reminded them who was the boss, the suit says.
“He bragged about his power, stating to Ms. Rehal and other employees, ‘I am Harvey Weinstein and you are at Weinstein University. I decide whether or not you graduate,” court papers state.
On numerous occasions he uttered, “What’s wrong Sandeep, is the tampon up too far today?” OOOooooh I want to cut him so bad.
Rehal worked at TWC for two years before quitting in February 2015 because she “couldn’t take it anymore.”
“Although Harvey Weinstein told Ms. Rehal when he hired her that “he was ‘a tough guy and hard to work for,’ she could never have imagined how awful and terrifying her job would be.” she says in the suit.
“As a result of the hostile work environment caused by the incessant sexual harassment, Ms. Rehal has suffered, and continues to suffer from severe emotional distress, anxiety, depression, humiliation, fear, anguish and loss of self-esteem,” the filing states.
She’s suing Weinstein, The Weinstein Company and the firm’s executives for unspecified ?damages.?

Sting is in talks to headline an NFL Super Bowl pre-game “tailgate” concert as the latest mega pop star to appear in Minneapolis for the big game, Page Six has exclusively learned.
During his set, the former Police rocker will perform one number with his recent reggae collaborator Shaggy at the pre-Super Bowl gig on Feb.?4. Other acts are also in talks for the yet-to-be-announced pre-game show. A source close to the league told us that the concert would be at a different site than US Bank Stadium, where the game will be played.
Justin Timberlake’s playing halftime, with Pink singing the national anthem and Leslie Odom Jr.crooning “America the Beautiful.”
The move to book Sting for the tailgate gig comes as the league further tries to capitalize this year on a new Super Bowl weekend initiative to increase attractions aside from the game — such as concerts, celebrity chef tastings and VIP parties, which were once the domain of third-party promoters and hospitality groups.

A Palm Springs compound owned by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Herman Wouk has come on the market at $2.495 million.
The stone-walled house, built in the 1940s, was once a retreat of actors Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood. One could say a lot of character has developed here during the decades. Massive fireplaces, carved wood doors, beamed ceilings and deep loggias give the place a romantic vibe.
In addition to the five-bedroom main house of about 5,000 square feet, there’s a three-bedroom, two-bathroom guesthouse. The 6,943 square feet of living space include nine bedrooms and nine bathrooms. The wet bar is designed for entertaining, and the sky-lighted kitchen has two separate cooking areas.
The gated 1.6-acre property has a swimming pool, a tennis court and parking for a dozen cars.
