Let's take a second to analyze exactly what makes Donald Trump worthy of a Hollywood star. He hosts The Apprentice. He did some advertisements for Pizza Hut back in the 1980s. He owns buildings in New York and the Miss USA pageant. Uhhhh... he can afford the $10,000 to buy one. Trump's star, which he received today, is the 2,327th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Jay Leno and Mark Burnett spoke at the ceremony. Considering Trump's recent behavior toward Rosie O'Donnell, I'm going to go ahead and call this star "deplorable". He's obviously desperate to get ratings for The Apprentice--his motives are as transparent as his comb-over.I totally gave up on the Walk of Fame in 2005 when Ryan Seacrest got one. He was only 30 years old at the time and didn't even have the gig on E! that he has now. That's when I learned that all it takes is money and a popularity contest to get one.
When Ryan Seacrest got his star, some blogger dared people to poop on it. What should be done to Trump's star?

Afew monthsago country singer Tim McGraw was given one. The honor lostallcredibilitywith that one, methinks. I will say Trump is more qualified for one than McGraw, though.

Although I'm no Ryan Seacrest fan by any stretch. It is called the "Walk of Fame" not "Walk of Talent, Artist, or Longevity".
Fame and Popularity go both hand in hand. That's what both Trump and Seacrest have.

Ms. Johns, tone down the lesbian rage.
Donald Trump is just saying what most of America is thinking. O'Donnell is a hack. She's not funny. She runs everything business she touches into the ground. The only reason she has a job is because of her sexual orientation. She's a professional lesbian. If this article is any indication, you are too.
