PUBLISHED: March 20, 2008



The Arizona teen at the center of a Super Bowl scandal that has snared Donald Trump is doing something the media-mad mogul would probably applaud: She’s selling her story to the highest bidder. A representative for Chanell Elaine Hallett, who was just 17 when she sashayed around a Super Bowl blowout wearing only body paint and pushing Trump Vodka, told us yesterday he is in negotiations with several media outlets to peddle the rights to a first interview with the teen.

As we told you yesterday, Chanell was serving and quaffing cocktails at the Trump Vodka VIP Lounge at 944 magazine’s Super Village during the nights leading up to the New England Patriots’ embarrassment in the desert. We hear that Chanell was hired to be a hostess at the event, seating guests and squiring celebrities to VIP areas but at some point in the evening she morphed into a naked, body-painted Trump Vodka slinger.

Aron Mezo, whose Professional Events Marketing of Scottsdale was hired by Trump Vodka to supply models for the party, said his company supplied only three girls for the party – and all were over 21. A spokesgal for The Donald’s booze company continued to insist yesterday that they never hired Chanell and accused the teen of being a party crasher who got inside, got naked and served drinks “to seek publicity for herself.”

“Neither Trump Super Premium Vodka nor Drinks America hired her. Miss Hallett was not recruited, hired or paid by us,” said The Donald’s spirited PR gal. “Again, we are appalled and always work to adhere to our social and civic responsibilities as a premium alcoholic beverage marketing company.” Meanwhile, defamer.com unearthed some rather naughty pics of the frisky teen locking lips with another gal that were posted on her MySpace page.

Bottoms up!
