Forget the combover, tacky fashions and '80s style excess—Donald Trump and his first wife, Ivana, are the parents that every celebutante and starlet should have!

Daughter Ivanka Trump was on Ellen's show today and talked about what her parents would do if she ever got into trouble with drinking or drugs like some of Young Hollywood.

It ain't very PC, but it seems to have worked!

Ellen:  What would happen to you if you would get in trouble...like someone in the press now...who gets in trouble with drugs or drinking or whatever? What would your dad (Donald Trump) do to you?
 
Ivanka:  Honestly, I think I would get my ass kicked...I really don’t know. I have an Eastern European mother—I think I’m more scared of her.

Ellen:  Really?
 
Ivanka:  Just a little bit more scared of her...I think in some ways they never had to be crazy disciplinary because my brothers and I have never totally rebelled.  We’ve had our moments, but we’ve never really been that rebellious. It’s just not the way I like to live.
 
Ellen:  Well, there’s a big inheritance involved—don’t get in trouble.
 
Ivanka:  Good point.
 
Ellen:  Don’t want to piss your parents. You’ll lose your money.
 
Ivanka:  No better way to crack the whip.
