Star Catcher
Now YOU Can Walk All Over Trump!

Donald Trump received the 2,327th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today -- he'd want to us to mention that Rosie O'Donnell doesn't have one.

Surrounded by family and friends, The Donald thanked the crowd and opined about his experience on "The Apprentice," saying, "It really has been a special moment in my life."

Trump's "Apprentice" main man, Mark Burnett, had some words about his good friend that danced around the feud with Rosie. "There's two things to know about Donald," Burnett said. "If you're his friend, he'll go to war for you. But never become his enemy. You never want to become this man's enemy because he'll get you." Too late for that, huh Rosie?

16. #5 absolutely correct, anyone can purchase a star if they have the cash.

Trump is a freak. Period. Melania will dump him when she has put in her time, no doubt...he will move onto the next bimbo. I can't for the life of me figure how scary it would be to wake up next to that blob of white flesh, freaky hair...super scary.

Oh well, next

17. Trump is such a NUT. Hes on Larry King live talking about Rosie and Barb, he said Barb lied like 15 years ago to him and he got mad at her. Rosie and Barb haven't said anything about him for over a week and hes still going like the energizer bunny.

18. YOU CANNOT BUY A STAR ON THE HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME.

This is a fact folks. Donald Trump has earned that star. His work for several seasons as head of "The Apprentice" not to mention co-owner with NBC of the Miss USA and Miss Universe Pageants. TRUMP IS THE MAN OF THE HOUR.

As Burnett said today, "he will go to bat for you if he is your friend. Cross him and you will have to watch your back.. (I'm paraphasing of course).

I LOVE THE DONALD. HE'S QUITE A GUY.

19. The man is certifiable. What a revolting, "pathetic" excuse for a human being. Did you hear what he said about that poor child with the preposterous name who's all of 10 months old? "He's strong, he's smart, he's tough, he's vicious, he's violent: all of the ingredients you need to be an entrepreneur." Oh yeah, some role model. Yech.

For all intents and purposes, the stars are purchased. It's no "honor" -- it's total publicity BS. From Wiki: The Walk of Fame is maintained by the self-financing Hollywood Historic Trust. In order for a person to get a star on the Walk of Fame, he or she must agree to attend a presentation ceremony within five years of selection, and a $15,000 fee must be paid to the Trust for costs such as security at the star ceremony; a 2003 FOX News story noted that the fee is typically paid by sponsors such as movie studios and record companies, as part of the publicity for a release with which the honoree is involved. On other occasions, the fee is paid by a fan club or the nominating person or organization. However, controversy and mystery surrounds the way the "Stars" are nominated and approved, as discussed in a 2001 ABC News story that interviewed honorary Hollywood mayor Johnny Grant.

From today's LA Times: "The Donald's Hollywood star -- negotiated, priced and bought; Trump's enshrinement reveals the Hollywood Walk of Fame's dirty secret: Celebrities buy their own stars."

20. INSTEAD OF PUTTING THIS BASTARD ON A SIDEWALK, THEY SHOULD PUT HIM UNDER IT. HE IS UNEQUIVOCALLY THE WORLD'S BIGGEST BORE.

21. I don't understand the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Years ago, it was a prestigious honor to be given a star. It was based on your body of work. Now they just give it away to the "it" person of the moment. If you go to their website, you'll be amazed who doesn't haven't a star. How does Donald and Britney get a star, yet Oprah and Madonna does not? BTW, I've been apart of this huge collective effort to get the Go Gos a star for the past 5 years. Yet the board, keeps passing on our application. We're talking about the most successful female band of all time, and they're from LA!

22. So much for your information Paul Kline. If you think Trump is so great, you must be a real jerk too! What is it with you people? Can't you see what a loser this moron is? He STILL can't shut the hell up! He stabs his friends in the back, and is ALWAYS walking around with that damn scowl on his face, like he's just itching for a fight. He must have gotten the sh*t kicked out of him in the schoolyards when he was a kid. Now he is trying to get back at them all by being MR. TOUGH TRUMP! Well, when he sees how many people in this country hate his guts, maybe, just maybe he will start to show some humility......NOT!

WE ARE SENDING A "REST IN PIECES" WREATH TO THE APPRENTICE, SINCE APPARENTLY TRUMP DUG IT'S GRAVE WITH HIS TEETH!

27. We see Rosie is in here too......using all CAPS.....screaming at people.

SHE is so angry all the time.

I'm sure she is SITTING & SPINNING in her own angry, misery since she doesn't have a star......

28. Star or no Star, he is still a LOSER... He's a just a double talking salesman...

Last week he said The Apprentice....was JUST A PEANUT...when his ratings were low (still are). Now it is the most amazing experience....

What does he give back, all he does it take up space and put his name on it....

Next week after no one watches The Apprentice, he will say he didn't want to do another show but Mark Burnett asked him do it...so him being a HUGE loyal friend he felt obligated to do it...He knew all along it ran it's course and 5 years it was HUGE. But hey, that's what friend are for, eh Donald?

29. I wonder if Donald Trump's Star is next to Donald Duck's? Even the Duck wouldn't want his star next to a Dump!

Jack hammer his star...wait, don't, the next thing you know he will say they stole my star because I am HUGE Conan!

to be continued...

I've been wondering this for a couple of years myself. I always thought it was more of a lifetime achievement honor after years and years in the business. To me it means nothing anymore when the 20-something crowd are getting stars for being the cool trend of the moment.

What a waste.
