New York, June 23, 2008 – What’s weirder than throwing the launch party for your Dubai hotel in New York City?  Having everyone speculating about the cause of Demi Moore’s skinned knee.

Donald Trump launched his Trump International Hotel & Tower Dubai with a lavish party in a geodesic dome-like structure outside the iconic Seagram Building in Manhattan on Monday, and tongues are wagging about the bruise on Demi Moore’s knee.  Theories we’ve heard bandied about include cosmetic surgery and, er, rug burn.  Yes, people are talking about Demi Moore’s skinned knee.

The line of guests waiting to get into The Donald’s party stretched down 52nd street, blocking the entrance to the Four Seasons Restaurant, which is located in the same building.  Hopeful crashers name-dropped furiously, and there wasn’t enough room for all of the photographers that turned up, creating an impromptu blue carpet arrival line outside the venue.  There was plenty of picture taking with Naomi Watts and Heidi Klum joining the Trump family for the bash.
