US financial magnate Donald Trump has hinted that he may televise his upcoming wedding to his girlfriend Melanie Knauss.

The tycoon, who is currently enjoying something of a revival with his reality television show 'The Apprentice', says he is intrigued by the idea after it was suggested by one of the show's writers.

Mr Trump said that it could be a "good idea", although recalled that the last televised wedding he saw involved the late Princess Diana.

Guests at the lavish ceremony - scheduled for January 22nd in Palm Beach, Florida - are expected to include some big names.

Prince Albert of Monaco, Muhammad Ali, Tony Bennett, Naomi Campbell, Sean Combs and Michael Douglas are among those said to have been invited.
