Trump Gets Star On Hollywood Walk Of Fame

The Donald trumped Rosie O'Donnell on Tuesday.

The unveiling of the 2,327th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame honored Donald Trump, the producer of NBC's "The Apprentice," billionaire developer and O'Donnell's verbal sparring partner. O'Donnell doesn't have a star.

"It really has been a special moment in my life," Trump said in a live TV broadcast of the event on Hollywood Boulevard.

He said "The Apprentice" has been an "absolutely amazing" experience.

Trump's baby son, Barron, almost managed to steal the show as his dad held him at the podium.

"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, and most importantly, hopefully he's smart because smart is really the ingredient," Trump said.

Barron, meanwhile, had taken a firm grip on the microphone.

"Uh, oh, he won't give up the mike," Trump said.

The feud between Trump and O'Donnell, a panel member on ABC's "The View," erupted in December after Trump announced that Miss USA Tara Conner would keep her title, which had been in jeopardy because of underage drinking. He owns the pageant.

O'Donnell said the twice-divorced real-estate mogul had no right to be "the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America." Trump fired back in various interviews, calling O'Donnell a "loser" and a "fat pig."

The he-said, she-said combat has taken few days off since.

Asked prior to the ceremony if O'Donnell might crash the party, Ana Martinez-Holler of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce promised that "she won't be there."
