If Trump and Cosby are no longer welcome on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, can we establish a Walk of Shame and put their stars there?
Who would you recommend for the Walk of Shame?

(102,276 posts)How the hell did they EVER give Trump a show for the Apprentice? Really?
How about these famous actors who do NOT have a star:
Robert Deniro (only just got his in June, 2018)
Judi Dench
Carrie Fisher
Diane Keaton
Denzel Washington
Brad Pitt
Julia Roberts
and others...
So you realize TRUMP got his star in 2007-- more than ELEVEN years before DeNiro??????

(29,204 posts)Radio personality, television producer and Chamber member Johnny Grant is generally credited with implementing the changes that resuscitated the Walk and established it as a significant tourist attraction.[21][35] Beginning in 1968, he stimulated publicity and encouraged international press coverage by requiring that each recipient personally attend his or her star's unveiling ceremony.[21] Grant later recalled that "it was tough to get people to come accept a star" until the neighborhood finally began its recovery in the 1980s.[32] In 1980 he instituted a fee of $2,500, payable by the person or entity nominating the recipient, to fund the Walk of Fame's upkeep and minimize further taxpayer burden.[21] The fee has increased incrementally over time; by 2002 it had reached $15,000,[36] and stood at $30,000 in 2012.[4] The current (2017) fee is $40,000.[37]

Your point is well taken.

*Is Harvey Weinstein on the Walk of Fame?

(22,037 posts)...the Walk of Shame was when you came into work in the morning wearing the same suit, shirt and tie as you wore yesterday. The implication was that you didn't go home last night... for whatever reason(s)!
For some reason, someone would always notice and say, "Didn't you wear that suit yesterday?"
