More on Ivana...

It's a slow news weekend on the Dish, but I saw this in a column today...

FRIENDS of Ivana Trump are crossing their fingers and praying the bouncy Czech and her Italian stallion, Rossano Rubicondi, can stop fighting long enough to actually get married on April 12.

The combative couple were bickering so badly the night of March 17, St. Patrick’s Day, that Palm Beach police received a 911 call at 11:23 p.m. and responded to Ivana’s mansion on Jungle Road.

“There was a disturbance,” a police spokeswoman told Page Six. “No one was arrested.”

A Florida source said Rubicondi, 35, who is 24 years younger than Donald Trump’s first wife, was briefly handcuffed by the cops, who released him after talking to his tired and emotional fiancée.

“The whole thing is ridiculous,” said one friend of the couple. “They’ve been fighting ever since they met each other, and the only reason anyone can imagine for why they are getting married is for the publicity.”

OK! magazine is said to have bought exclusive rights to the wedding photos for $1 million. Guests have been warned that all cellphones and cameras must be checked at the reception desk. To make sure the photos are stunning, all the women have been told to wear pastel gowns - but not pink or yellow - and men are instructed to wear white suits, white shirts, and white ties.

Other sources said the two were still fighting over the prenuptial agreement that Ivana wants the penniless Rossano to sign to protect her considerable assets, which include a townhouse on East 64th Street, houses in St. Tropez, a chic flat on London’s Eaton Square and the Palm Beach estate.

Donald Trump, who has written extensively on the necessity for prenups, reportedly assigned one of his lawyers to draft the document, and will “go nuts” if it isn’t signed soon, we’re told.

The Donald is quasi-hosting the event at his Mar-a-Lago club, with a rehearsal dinner around the swimming pool the night before, and the reception in the ballroom for 550 guests, including Robin Leach, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, Rick and Kathy Hilton and Neil Sedaka, who will perform, as well as a troupe from Cirque du Soleil.

Ivana, who selected six gowns from the couture shows in Paris in February, will be given away by her sons, Donald Jr. and Eric. Her maid of honor is daughter Ivanka, but there will be 24 other bridesmaids and an equal number of groomsmen.
