Wow...I suppose they’ll be removing a ton of stars if one of the criteria is “disturbing treatment of women”.

“I don’t see how a pavement plaque honors someone.”

Hollywood is a shadow of what it once was. I don’t think PDJT will give it a second thought. There are no more “stars” in Hollywood, so who gives a fig about a piece of terrazzo on a sidewalk anyway?

Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has no plans to remove Walk of Fame stars amid sexual misconduct scandals

Amid the scandals surrounding celebrities like Kevin Spacey and Brett Ratner, both of whom have stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Yahoo reached out to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to find out whether there are plans or internal discussions around potentially removing the stars for anyone who has been accused of sexual misconduct. A rep for the group referred Yahoo to a 2015 statement issued after a petition for the removal of Bill Cosby’s star was circulated, saying it’s still their most recent statement on the subject.

“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has received inquiries asking whether we are planning to remove the stars of Walk of Famers because of alleged misconduct. The answer is no,” said Leron Gubler, Hollywood Chamber of Commerce president and CEO. “The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a registered historic landmark. Once a star has been added to the Walk, it is considered a part of the historic fabric of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Because of this, we have never removed a star from the Walk.”

Concerning Cosby ....

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has received inquiries asking whether we are planning to remove the stars of Walk of Famers because of alleged misconduct. The answer is no...The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a registered historic landmark. Once a star has been added to the Walk, it is considered a part of the historic fabric of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Because of this, we have never removed a star from the Walk.[69]

They have no say in the matter.

Next headline “ Ms. Henson’s third-grade class votes to impeach Trump!”

“The resolution calls on both the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and City of Los Angeles to remove President Trump’s...”

“calls on”

Got it - pure virtue signaling, no authority.

I don’t think it will bother the President, but the first thought that came to mind reading this, was this man may lose everything in defense of America and it’s citizens.

The “disturbing treatment of women” is a gross exaggeration and even fabrication about Donald Trump’s past and pales in comparison to real misogynists whose stars appear all along the Walk of Fame.

Maybe they should change the name to the Walk of Shame.

*Sarcasm*

Man, this is way over the line. I don’t know what Trump will do without his Hollywood star. Without it, what does he have left to live for? He’ll never be the same again.

LOL

After the way the liberals and the press have treated Sarah Sanders, they have the NERVE to complain about how Trump treats women?

Maybe people in the country can vote not to support trash movies in Hollywood.
