Last week at Blog World & New Media Expo, Mark Cuban discussed addressing negativity through blogging (and advised us not to do it.) Here he fights back against Bill O’Reilly.

I had the pleasure of seeing Mark Cuban talk about blogging at the Blog World and New Media Expo last week. He gave a good talk, very funny and informative. Here he talks about Dancing with the Stars.

In case you’ve been wondering what happened to your daily dose of scandal, you can rest assured I haven’t abandoned my post. I’ve been attending the Blog World & New Media Expo so I can learn to be a better, faster gossip monger. The highlight of the event had to be today’s closing keynote by Mark Cuban. He shared his thoughts on blogging and also some behind the scenes dirt from dancing with the stars. For instance, he’s positive he’d still be dancing today if Marie Osmond didn’t “fake” a faint. (He’s kidding Marie, I promise.) He also told a funny story about how after Marie fainted she was taken backstage and given a cold can of Red Bull to place on the back of her neck. Instead, Marie, who just fainted mind you, popped the tab of the super energy drink and drank it down.

Mark also said he spent a lot more time trying to gather votes than dance because he felt it would be more beneficial since the audience gets a bigger percentage of the vote. He tried to get the other dancers to “do the math” but they weren’t interested.

Some other highlights:

When asked what it’s like to own a G3 Mark said, “It doesn’t suck”.

Notable quotes:

“I feel so dirty when I meet with politicians.”

“If you go to YouTube you can’t find porn. I looked. A lot.”

This is like the best thing I heard in a long time. Billionaire Mark Cuban is blasting Donald Trump for speaking out about the Dan Rather lawsuit. After Trump called rather a “loser”, Cuban had a few words while being interviewed by Tony Potts.

“Donald Trump is a first-class idiot! . . . Nothing he says that comes out of his mouth has any validity or any value. He just throws it from the hip and that’s fine for him.” He then trashed Trump’s various enterprises, cackling, “Trump water. Blah! Trump Magazine. Blah! Trump steaks. Blah! Trump vodka. Blah! When you’re so desperate to make a dollar you have to put your name [on] everything, and then you have to comment on everything . . .” Cuban also charged him with building “everything off of denigrating somebody else.”

While Cuban is right on the money, you know Trump wasn’t going to keep his mouth shut either.

“Mark is a total loser. This all started in 2004, when he tried to do a show, ‘The Benefactor,’ which was a copy of ‘The Apprentice’ and it was a total disaster. “It was thrown off the air like he was a dog. And it’s kind of interesting - Cuban lives in one of my buildings. He lives in a Trump building and yet he doesn’t like Trump. People in the building find him a total jerk.”

The developer added: “He will always be third-class. [The Mavericks] lost the championship last year and the year before. My water is a huge success. The magazine, Ocean Drive [publishers] paid a fortune to [acquire] it. The steaks are selling through the roof.” He said Trump Vodka sold 65,000 cases in its first year compared to Grey Goose’s 17,000 and Absolut’s 20,000.

“This is the only way he can get publicity,” Trump fumed. “By attacking me. But, as you know, when people attack me, I attack back.”

Yes, we’re well aware of that Donald.
