LOL ... Well l found out last weekend on Larissa's website that she is an employee of Donald Trump.

She is the publicity face of Donald's Taj Mahal Casino in New Jersey.

And we know that Trump does business with NBC ... Miss USA, Miss Universe, The Apprentice, etc.

It's no coincidence that both girls on Average Joe happen to be former Miss USA contestants.

So draw your own conclusions .... Donald must have seen her at Miss USA 2001 and thought, "Never mind this silly pageant, I've got great plans for this girl."

Hmmm .... Maybe there'll be a twist and she'll win The Apprentice! Do they have a need for an ... ahem ... "artist" in the Trump organization?

Still, it's nice to see that Tony and her are still friends. Look at the link on her webite to Tony's site. Maybe they got together after all ...
