One of Hollywood's most historic landmarks is losing its name, and RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned a reality-TV star wants to buy the rights and name it after himself.

David Golshan, an international comedian who was recently featured on Millionaire Matchmaker and will be appearing on Ryan Seacrest's new reality show, Shahs of Sunset, is putting together a multi-million dollar bid to buy the naming rights to the Kodak Theatre from CIM Group, who currently owns the building.
