A man who has previously attacked President Donald Trump’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star has done it again.

James Otis, who has attacked Trump’s star several times since the President was first elected in 2016, again attacked the commemorative sidewalk star with a pickaxe early on Friday morning.

The vandalism comes just four weeks after Otis, dressed as the Incredible Hulk, broke up the embedded plaque. Otis was arrested and charged with felony vandalism for that action. He was first arrested in February 2017 for vandalism on the object.

Trump’s star was covered in plywood and surrounded by a fence on this occasion. But it didn’t deter Otis. He later surrendered to police. He was already on probation for his prior actions.

President Trump may make history as the first man to ever have his star removed from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, if the West Hollywood City Council has their way. While the City of Los Angeles doesn't currently have plans to do so, there is a major push being made to make it happen. The West Hollywood City Council recently voted unanimously to have Trump's star taken away from the front of the Hollywood and Highland building.

The group wants the star gone "due to [Trump's] disturbing treatment of women and other actions." The group wants to make it clear that this has nothing to do with President Trump's political beliefs. Here's what West Hollywood Mayor Pro Tem John D'Amico had to say about it in a statement shortly after the vote was made by the city council.

"The West Hollywood City Council did not pass the resolution because Donald Trump...

Another member of Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is coming to Supernatural.

Matt Frewer — best known for his recent key role on Eureka - has been cast as Pestilence, the figure that created and spread disease.

He's the third of the Four Horsemen to appear on season five. Supernatural fans have already met War (Titus Welliver) and Famine (James Otis). Death, meanwhile, has only appeared off-screen in one episode.

Talking to TV Guide about Frewer character, producer Sera Gamble said:

"Our first brush with him in Episode 520 seems relatively innocuous and then unfolds into something more substantial. Put it to you this way: Horsemen on our show tend to think several moves ahead."

Supernatural returns with a new episode on March 25.

Thursday 2.11 at 9:00 p.m. Et/Pt on The CW Supernatural airs a special holiday epiosode called My Bloody Valentine. Hit the jump for 3 clips.
