Lisa Edelstein Talks About Being a Cheerleader for Donald Trump (VIDEO)

The guest tonight on 'The Kilborn File' (weeknights, 7PM ET on Fox), was Lisa Edelstein, star of the hit series 'House.' Lisa discussed how -- at the tender age of 16 -- she was a cheerleader for a professional football team owned by Donald Trump. Ms. Edelstein soon got in trouble at her job, though. She organized a protest, because the team was forcing the cheerleaders to go and stand in bars while wearing their tiny, tiny uniforms. Lisa said she felt this was "akin to prostitution." So she started a cheerleader strike. "I was a feminist," she said to host Craig Kilborn. "A feminist in hot pants."
So, now you know that. And now, let's enter the very brief trivia contest section of this column:
A) Lisa Edelstein was a cheerleader for Donald Trump's New Jersey Generals. What short-lived football league were they a part of?
B) Lisa Edelstein is a pretty good-looking lady, no? But can you guess how old she actually is?
Answers coming after the jump ...
The answers:
A) The New Jersey Generals were part of the USFL, which lasted from 1983 to 1985.
B) Lisa is 44 years old. And she looks pretty amazingly great, right?
