Osama Bin Laden News Pre-Empts Donald Trump's 'Celebrity Apprentice'

Trump is huge -- just ask him. He has emerged as an A-list reality TV star and producer, and he's a pal to top showbiz players. With his faux presidential run, Trump is taking media-savvy self-promotion to a new level. And what is more Hollywood than that?

The interruption comes one night after Trump was skewered at the White House Correspondents' Assocation Dinner, where Obama made fun of Trump's show.

What timing.

Just one night after Donald Trump was skewered by President Obama at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, Trump's Celebrity Apprentice was pre-empted by Obama's announcement that Osama Bin Laden had been killed by U.S. forces.

Obama didn't make his announcement until 11:35 p.m. ET on Sunday, but the broadcast networks -- including NBC, home of Celebrity Apprentice -- interrupted their regularly scheduled programming at least an hour before to report the news.

At Saturday's White House dinner, Obama mocked Trump's possible run for the presidency in 2012.

"We all know about your credentials," he quipped, bringing up Trump's decision to fire Gary Buseyin a recent episode of Celebrity Apprentice, joking: "These are the kinds of decisions that would keep me up at night. Well handled, sir. Well handled."

Trump on Sunday fired back, admitting that he hadn't expected to be attacked at the dinner.

"Well, I really understood what I was getting into -- I didn't know that I'd be virtually the sole focus," he told Fox and Friends, adding, "I had no idea it would be to that extent, where you know, it was just joke after joke after joke. It was almost like, is there anyone else they could talk about?"
