The Schmooze Ivanka’s Website is Officially Shut Down
This is the end for Ivanka…or, for the time being, her fashion brand’s website. Her entrepreneurial spirit was doused earlier this summer, when the brand announced that they would discontinue in order for Ivanka to concentrate solely on her political work in Washington. Ivanka explained her reasoning behind this strategy, saying, “After 17 months in…

The Schmooze Ben & Jerry’s is Releasing Cookie Dough Chunks

Nothing gets us like an adulterous rendezvous between two high-powered government officials. It sounds like the kind of cheesy rom-com that would tank at the box-office, but we are nonetheless stupefied and enthralled by Peter Strzok’s lack of stealth and, quite frankly, brain cells.

The Schmooze Omarosa: Thin-Skinned Ivanka Couldn’t Stop Whining About ‘SNL’ Sketch
Daddy’s complicit little girl. Ivanka Trump has remained largely unscathed by the verbal missiles that Omarosa Manigault Newman has lobbed at the White House…until now. Despite her impeccable image, we have always suspected that Ivanka Trump is not as indifferent to the scandals that envelope her father’s presidency as she seems. As Jewish women and…
