That’s entertainment:
- Donald Trump buys a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
- Eva Mendes made her breasts bigger for the upcoming Ghost Rider movie
- Joss Whedon will direct an episode of The Office
- Amanda Tapping will join the cast of Stargate: Atlantis*.
- HBO wants to turn George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels into a dramatic series
- George Clooney wants to do the same to Neil Stephenson’s The Diamond Age
* Okay, okay, but what about a Vala/Daniel Jackson spin-off? C’mon!
Why is it such a surprise to everyone that Trump bought a star? That’s how celebrities have always gotten them, with the unveiling usually timed to coincide with the publicity push for whatever new project they have to plug. And anyone with even the most tenuous connection to entertainment can get one — even Buzz Aldrin, Thomas Edison, and several local news anchors have their own stars. Trump will fit right in.
