Barbara Walters can get the answers anytime she wants to venture a question. She asked Donald Trump on her radio show if his daughter Ivanka is getting married? Then, she persevered:

Donald: She’s not getting married, she’s not engaged. But she does have a great relationship going with a very nice guy. But she’s never told me she’s getting married.

Barbara: I have heard ... that she is studying to convert to Judaism.

Donald: Well, she has a boyfriend who is Jewish who is an absolutely nice guy and a very smart guy. I guess they have something in mind, but they haven’t formally announced anything.

I like to joke that if you have even visited Texas or passed through Lubbock or “thought” about Texas, that’s good enough for the Texas Film Hall of Fame to take you for their own.

This happened to Arkansas native Billy Bob Thornton. He became an official Texan recently, receiving the Tom Mix Honorary Texan Award from the Film Society.

When Dennis Quaid called him a native “of Northeast Texas—that is, Hot Springs, Ark.,” Billy Bob quickly reminded him of all the Texascentric movies he has made, including “The Alamo,” “Friday Night Lights” and “Armageddon.” Billy Bob also boasted that he has lived in both Austin and Tomball, Texas. (This is good enough for the Film Society.)

Honored along with Billy Bob were Larry Hagman, born in Fort Worth, Powers Boothe, a Texas State University graduate and native of Snyder, Texas, and Catherine Hardwicke, the director of “Twilight,” who is from McAllen, Texas.

We’re always talking up Doris Day here. She’s the singing movie sweetheart of the ’50s and ’60s and like we keep saying, she, more than most who get one, deserves an Academy Honorary Award for her contribution to the movie business.

Come Tuesday, Warner Hot Video and Turner Classic Movies will showcase their “TCM Spotlight: Doris Day Collection.” This features five new-to-DVD titles, focusing on Doris’ golden years at Warner Bros. where her film career began. I’m talking “April in Paris,” “It’s a Great Feeling,” “Starlift,” “Tea for Two” and “The Tunnel of Love.” There are even bonus features like classic cartoons and vintage shorts.
