Donald Trump -- I Would GLADLY Join Mitt Romney's Presidential Cabinet

Donald Trump says... if Mitt Romney offered him a position in the President's cabinet, he would take the gig in a heartbeat ... and would do a MUCH better job than the "clowns" currently in place.

Right after Trump endorsed Romney for the Republican nomination earlier today, The Donald called in to TMZ Live ... and Harvey asked if he would consider switching professions to work for the President of the United States if Romney was elected.

Trump replied, "I love what I do ... I love the real estate business, I love building things ... but I love the country even more ... if i can do anything to help, whether it's [under] Mitt Romney or anybody else ... I would love to do it ... if it's good for the country."

Trump added, "I will say this ... I'd rather have me negotiating against China, against OPEC and against lots of other people that are laughing at how stupid we are ... I would� rather have me negotiating for us than the clowns that are negotiating right now."

Shortly before Demi Moore split with Ashton Kutcher, her previous husband Bruce Willis went to her house to ask her to get help for her worsening health, a source tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story.

"He was worried about her and wanted her to get better," says the source. "Many of her friends did the same thing, but she just wouldn't listen."

Willis, 56, is the father of their three daughters, two of whom ? Rumer, 23, and Tallulah, 18 ? are now staying with him while Moore, 49, seeks treatment. (Scout, 20, is away at college). Moore had been especially close to Rumer since the marriage collapse.

"It's hard for Ru right now to see her mom in this situation," another source says.

Kutcher, meanwhile, stopped by Moore's Los Angeles house Wednesday, according to X17 Online. After a trip to Brazil, he is back in L.A. working on Two and a Half Men.

Cameron urges RBS bonus 'restraint'

David Cameron has urged the Royal Bank of Scotland to show "restraint" in its bonus packages for senior colleagues of chief executive Stephen Hester.

The Prime Minister said the remuneration arrangements put in place by the former Labour government for executives at the part-nationalised bank had to be followed.

However he added: "They have got to have proper regard in terms of restraint when they have had so much money from the taxpayer and they have made so many mistakes in the past."

Mr Cameron's comments come as a number of executives in RBS's investment branch are expected to be offered large payments in the coming weeks.

Under mounting pressure, Mr Hester gave up his offered �963,000 shares package bonus on Sunday night.

Mr Cameron said the "main thing" was to ensure that RBS was turned around to safeguard the taxpayers' investment. He suggested the bank ought to explain better why it felt its executives were worth the bonuses they were being offered despite a falling share price.

"I think what needs to happen is a sense of restraint which is exactly what the Government urged on RBS in the first place, and they need to do a better job - as everybody has - about explaining how pay is linked to performance," he told a press conference in Brussels.

"And if performance isn't the share price then people need to see very clearly what it is you are doing to sort out that bank, to turn it round, to make it safe, to make sure its long-term value... because that's what I care about.

"Is the taxpayer going to get their money back, that we had to put into this bank that was so badly managed in the past? These are the things they have got to focus on."

The Prime Minister said the arms-length management arrangements for RBS, including the decision to run it as a commercial business, had been put in place by Labour. He indicated the Government would look at those arrangements although it had no plans to change them.

Burke dishes out food for thought

Brian Burke reflected on his past three years as Maple Leaf general manager over a giant container of roast beef.

?I?m very proud to be here in Toronto, very grateful,? Burke said. ?I love this city.?

Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment hired Burke three years ago Tuesday. The team hasn?t made the playoffs under his stewardship, but he appreciates fans? frustration.

?If you try and rebuild a team in a Canadian city and it doesn?t happen quickly ? it never does ? there?s a lot of frustration,? Burke said at a charity event for Maple Leaf Sports? Team Up Foundation, which refurbishes city-owned outdoor rinks, basketball courts and soccer pitches.

Burke and the rest of the Leafs served dinner to fans at Earth Bloor West, a restaurant near High Park. They were on target to bring in more than $200,000 from the night, according to Mike Bartlett, executive director of the charity.

The foundation will break ground shortly to refurbish Sunnydale Acres? outdoor rink and the team will practise there on Jan. 4.

Coach Ron Wilson served drinks behind the bar while Burke manned the meat table with netminder James Reimer, who wasn?t giving away nearly as much lamb as Burke was beef.

?I?m hoping to be back soon,? Reimer said, who?s recovering from concussion-like symptoms. ?Hopefully this weekend.?

Most Leafs, clad in white aprons with the team?s logo, signed autographs and posed for pictures. Captain Dion Phaneuf, without a date as actress Elisha Cuthbert was working on her latest show, slurped and served oysters.

Among the items being auctioned off was a day of shinny with former Leaf Wendel Clark and dinner with Darryl Sittler.

And for a starting bid of $350, fans could win a fantasy general manager experience with Burke, where you take in the morning skate, visit the dressing room, have lunch and then watch the game from Burke?s managerial box.

?If you don?t know how to swear,? Burke said with a straight face, ?you will after about one period.?

Donkey & Mule Society -- 'Fear Factor' Producers Are Asses for Pulling Semen Stunt

The "Fear Factor" donkey semen challenge isn't only gross for the contestants ... it's also really bad PR for donkeys everywhere -- that's according to the preeminent donkey advocacy group.

TMZ broke the story ... FF producers are serving up giant steins full of donkey semen -- with a urine chaser -- to contestants on their next episode.

Like most people who read our post ... the American Donkey & Mule Society had a visceral reaction to the news. The ADMS President tells us they don't "condone use of the animals in such a manner."

She added, "We feel this is a negative event and was not well thought out by the producers."

For the record, we've spoken with other sources in the donkey community ... who tell us no one should try this stunt at home because the "long term effects of drinking donkey sperm are unknown."

Short-term effects? We're guessing loss of friends and uncontrollable vomiting -- or maybe that's just us.

Daniel Radcliffe dishes on post `Potter' life (AP)

NEW YORK ? Daniel Radcliffe had to decide what his first starring film role would be after the "Harry Potter" franchise ended in 2011, and he didn't make that decision lightly.

Despite demonstrating his acting range by starring in "Equus" and "How to Succeed in Business" on Broadway, the pressure was on for Radcliffe to prove he could play more than Potter on the big screen.

He chose "The Woman in Black," a dark thriller about a recently widowed father who is haunted by his wife's death. The movie will be in theaters Feb. 3.

"I never expected the first thing I did after `Potter' to be a horror film or anything like that. That was one of the reasons it was intriguing to me as well because it was so unexpected," Radcliffe said in a recent interview. He also talked about growing up fast, getting praise from actor Sean Connery, who starred in James Bond films, and why he isn't ready to marry his longtime girlfriend.

AP: You knew the world was watching to see what movie you picked after "Harry Potter" ended. Why did you decide on "The Woman in Black"?

Radcliffe: This film is a film that has a great story but it is driven by characters at the heart of it. It fit in perfectly. It was going to be filming when I was on break from finishing "Potter" and starring in "How to Succeed," so it was perfectly timed out. Also, when I was reading the script, I was surprised to be enjoying a horror film because I have never gravitated towards that in my own life.

AP: Did any former child stars, or people who have made the transition from doing iconic roles to having diverse careers give you advice about how to avoid being typecast?

Radcliffe: Not particularly, but I did hear the other day from a friend of mine who is friends with Sean Connery and apparently Sean Connery asked him to pass along to me how well he thought I was doing and how well I seem to be handling everything and making good choices. For me, that was great because he is a great actor. He had this amazing start to his career in Bond and managed to create a fantastic career for himself outside that, so to hear that from him was very flattering.

AP: You play a father in this role. Did you feel that was a stretch?

Radcliffe: It is very hard to create that chemistry with a 4-year-old boy who you have never met before and who is stepping onto a film set going, "What in the hell is all of this?" That was one of the reasons that I suggested (director) James (Watkins) audition my real-life godson who auditioned and was great and is great in the film. At the time when we were filming, I was so obsessed with him having a good time and making sure he wasn't cold or wasn't freaking out that I didn't really pay attention to the fact that he is actually quite a good little actor.

AP: This movie is dark, but it is also about love. Did you think about the love you have for your longtime girlfriend, Rosanne Coker, for inspiration?

Radcliffe: At the time we had been filming this we had only been going out for a couple of months. There is actually one shot in the film where Rosie had to play the woman in black because we didn't have a double for her that day so she is actually in one of the reveal shots in the film. She is going to kill me for telling you that. I don't think I probably drew on things at that time, but I am sure now I will probably use ? the fear of losing her will be a very good motivating tool.

AP: Are you thinking of marriage?

Radcliffe: Who knows. God, I am not even thinking about that for a long time.
