On Wednesday night, this is what Ed McMahon's Hollywood Walk of Fame star looked like just outside of the Roosevelt Hotel. There were no flowers or no notes, just newspaper stuck to the sidewalk with some black paint or tar over his name. Accident? Vandalism? Probably the latter--there are some crazy and mean spirited people out there. Luckily, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce cleaned it up that night and things are back to normal. Blogger TaraMetBlog also saw the star in ruin, noting her shock and dismay.

Pretty classy, L.A.
Decoy, sarcastically denouncing LA for one crazy person is not only stupid, but it ignores the fact that there were flowers and candles at his star the very same day it was announce he died.
what the fuck?
Wtf? So uncalled for.
What did he do? Vote for Prop 8?
I was there with my family close to the time it happended. W ewere walking looking at the stars when we noticed a trail of the black goo. As we got closer we realized it covered almost the entire star!!! As we walked away we didn't know whose it was. A bum neaarby had gathered the newspaper an was trying to soak up the goo. It was only when we walked back to the car did we see the name. Such disrespect!! RIP ED.
how nice of the bum though
I'm not even a huge fan, but I was shocked considering the timing of this, felt bad for him and his family. Thanks for including my link and glad to hear it has been cleaned up.
this is what it looked like last night
