Donald Trump offered Thursday to buy out a major investor in the real estate partnership that controls the site near ground zero where a Muslim Group wants to build a 13-story Islamic center and mosque. The offer, though, fell flat nearly instantly. “This is just a cheap attempt to get publicity and get in the limelight,” said Wolodymyr Starosolsky, a lawyer for the investor. The current planned location is just two blocks north of the site. Trump offered to pay the owners of the property the amount they purchased the property for plus an extra 25%.   As part of the deal, Trump is asking that the mosque be built at least 5 blocks from the WTC site. “I am making this offer as a resident of New York and citizen of the United States, not because I think the location is a spectacular one (because it is not), but because it will end a very serious, inflammatory, and highly divisive situation that is destined, in my opinion, to only get worse” .

50 Cent is already in Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s corner — the rapper, who just spoke with Floyd moments ago, claims Mayweather’s baby mama is making up domestic violence allegations for a quick payday. Fifty just posted the following message on his Twitter — “Another case of angry baby mama wanting money. Police are looking for [Mayweather]. I just got off the phone with him.” 50 then added, “She’s claiming he hit her but has no bruises. Floyd went to see his kids last night if a fighter of floyd caliber hits u, u would b bruised.” As was first reported, the Las Vegas PD are looking to speak with Mayweather about the domestic violence allegationsmade by his baby mama Josie Harris… and will decide whether to arrest him. 50 just added, “I talked to him before and after the situation he wasnt even upset. He said he asked her why was the house so dirty she started trippin.” “She has a girlfriend that stays in the guesthouse that floyd is paying for her as child support that is helping fuel the situation” “I told him that’s crazy. I know how he felt. I met her before so I told him she would calm down. Can’t believe she called the cops” “Floyd said he feels like her girlfriend is using her and pushing her in the wrong direction”

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran announced Thursday that Sarah Shourd, one of the three Americans jailed for more than a year, will be released Saturday to mark the end of Islamic holy month of Ramadan. Spokesman for the Iranian Ambassador to the United Nations tells Fox News that the American hiker will be released “very soon.” Iran claims they illegally crossed the border from Iraq’s northern Kurdish region and had threatened to put the three on trial for spying. Their families say they were hiking in the largely peaceful region of Iraq and that if they crossed the border, it was accidental. “The release of one of the detained Americans will be Saturday at 9 a.m. at the Estaghlal hotel.” The Iranian message gave no other details about who would be freed. But Sarah Shourd, 31, has told her mother she has serious medical problems. Shane Bauer, 27, and Josh Fattal, 27, also are being held.
