Names & Faces: Donald Trump?s for-profit school under investigation; Pete Doherty is back in jail; Marion Cotillard has a baby boy
? The New York State attorney general?s office is investigating whether Donald Trump?s business school, formerly known as Trump University, is engaging in illegal business practices, the New York Times reports. Trump-U is not the only so-called school coming under the microscope ? the effort is part of a broader inquiry into for-profit education, which is also examining Career Education Corporation, Corinthian Colleges, Lincoln Educational Services, and Bridgepoint Education.
But the school ? which is known to charge up to $35,000 a course ? has its share of unsatisfied alums. Last year four former students sued the company in a federal court in California, seeking class-action status. New York and Maryland have also forced Trump-U to drop the word ?university? from its title (as of 2010, the school has been renamed Trump Entrepreneur Initiative) . In 2010, the Better Business Bureau gave it a D-minus, its second lowest score, after getting 23 complaints. That has to hurt.

Update: Rahm Emanuel is getting his house back; Obama campaign selling birth-certificate t-shirts
The man who rented Rahm Emanuel?s Chicago house is finally leaving when the lease is up at the end of June, reports the Chicago Tribune. Rob Halpin took possession in 2009 and refused to move out when Emanuel returned to the Windy City last fall to run for mayor ? which played into his $800,000 battle to prove residency. The new mayor has spent the past several months in a rented condo.
? Three weeks after settling the whole birth-certificate fuss, the Obama 2012 campaign is hoping to profit from it ? offering ?Made in the USA? T-shirts and mugs emblazoned with an image of the president?s Hawaii long-form. ?If the facts can?t make these ridiculous smears go away,? said deputy campaign manager Julianna Smoot, ?we can at least have a little fun with it.?

On-air debut at 7:53 p.m. ET will be followed by live 'MTV First' interview with Swift on MTV.com!By Jocelyn Vena

Taylor Swift has always had fun in her music videos. Whether she's a geeky schoolgirl-turned-glamour queen in her VMA-winning video for "You Belong With Me" or a forlorn lover in a snow-covered farmhouse in her "Back to December" clip, Swift has always tried to show off different sides of herself.
Now she's teaming up with MTV News for "MTV First: Taylor Swift," where she'll not only have an exclusive sit-down with our very own Sway, but also premiere the video for her Speak Now single "The Story of Us."
It all kicks off on Tuesday, May 24, at 7:53 p.m. ET on MTV and MTV.com. Fans can tune in to see Swift introduce the video's official premiere and speak with Sway live on-air. Sway and Taylor will then continue their chat for a 30-minute live stream on MTV.com. The singer will answer a few questions from fans too. Beginning on Friday (May 20), you can submit your pressing queries on MTV.com or via Twitter using @MTVNews (hashtag #AskTaylor).
This Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET, the music video will debut online on MTV.com, VH1.com and MTV's International Sites in 150+ territories, followed by a premiere on TeenNick at 10:56 p.m. ET. For those who can't wait for the video premiere, a 30-second sneak peek of "The Story of Us" will air during VH1's "Big Morning Buzz Live" on Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. ET/PT. The full video will also appear on "VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown" on Saturday, May 28, at 9 a.m. ET/PT.
"The Story of Us" is the fourth single from Swift's chart-topping album. It follows "Mine," "Back to December" and her country-tinged track "Mean." As for this song, well, she explains that it was inspired by one awkward awards show encounter.
"That actually happened during what ended up inspiring the last song I wrote for this record called 'Story of Us,' "Swift explained to MTV News last year about the song. "And I was at an awards show, and there was a guy there, obviously — it all starts there, doesn't it? It was a guy I had been in a relationship with, falling out, then we end up at the same awards show," she continued. "Both trying to act like we don't care ... both like, you know, chatting up the people next to us."
After the incident, she knew there was enough emotion there to write a song. "Afterward, I just felt so empty, like we were both fighting this silent war of pretending we didn't care that the other was there," she said. "And I went home, and I wrote this song about it. And at that point, I had this gut feeling, and I knew the album was finished."

'Supernatural' Recap: Don't Mess with Exes
In the first half of the two-hour Supernatural season finale, the
boys get a little distracted from the mission to stop Crowley and
Castiel open the door to Purgatory. Crowley kidnaps Dean's ex-girlfriend
Lisa and her kid Ben, making Dean go on a one-man mission of
destruction. But that's not the only ex-girlfriend in the episode,
because it turns out one of Bobby's former romances was a lot older than
she said. Like, 900 years older.

Circus siblings Karen Feld and Kenneth Feld?s explosive family feud blows up again in federal court
One of Washington?s most enduring family feuds ignited again ? and again ? in federal court last week.
Karen Feld ? daughter of late circus mogul Irvin Feld ? shrieked at her brother?s lawyer and stormed from the courtroom where she is suing him for having her thrown out of their aunt?s 2007 memorial service. Later, Kenneth Feld burst into tears on the witness stand. Things got so hot the judge posted a security guard in the room.
The siblings have been at odds for decades, since their father?s will cut her out of the family business in the ?80s, leaving Kenneth at the helm of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. A reunion at their Aunt Shirley?s shiva went badly: She claims she was injured when her brother had guards remove her; he?s countersuing for trespass, saying she disrupted the event with a foul-mouthed tirade.

'American Idol' In 60 Seconds: Scotty And Lauren Sing To The End
Watch our second-to-last recap of the season, or, if you prefer, our last before the world ends.By Jim Cantiello
Haley Reinhart is eliminated on "American Idol"
Photo: FOX
There's only one week left of "American Idol" season 10 (or one day before the end of the world), so if you have some last-minute cramming to do before the end, we suggest looking back at our previous "Idol" in 60 Seconds recaps. For now, here's the script rounding up everything you need to know about how America said goodbye to Haley and voted two country singers into the finale:
This week the top three got to sing three songs each, but in three rounds, two hours and nine songs, only two minutes mattered.
[Clip: Beyoncé's "Who Rule the World (Girls)" video.]
No, not Beyoncé's video, although ... [Jim grabs a personal recording device, speaks into it] Note to self: Memorize Beyoncé's dance moves before the world ends this Saturday.
Where was I? Oh, right! Haley Reinhart, whose Led Zeppelin cover was a groundbreaking collaboration with her dad AND with gravity!
But then things went from great to good to god awful, while Scotty and Lauren kept things country strong. Well, country able.
Hey, judges! Care to make this night all about you?
[Montage of judges: Randy: "I produced the version of it with Boyz II Men." J. Lo: "I was just performing to 20,000 people." Steven: "Lee Ann's a good friend of mine, too."]
You guys are in it to w... waste time.
On Thursday night's results show ... that's not Rihanna [showing Nicole Scherzinger's performance]. That's not Il Divo [showing Il Volo's performance].
I dare you to make this more unpleasant.
[Clip of Elle Fanning squealing during her interview with Seacrest.]
And hometown visits, where Haley fought the rain, Lauren's mom fought for screen time and Scotty fought the waterworks. But wait, did that bitch just steal a girl's donut?!!
[Clip: Lauren Alaina makes it to the finale with Scotty.]
Oh, America. You have no taste. OK, that's not fair. You do have taste ... for baby food!
Ding!
