D

ONALD TRUMP

has been compared to a lot

of people during this presidential campaign

season - most of them dictators or small children - but comedian Aziz Ansari guested on

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Wednesday night, and compared Trump to Philly hip-hop star ... Meek Mill.

Meek Mill?

Is Trump dropping Melania for Nicki Minaj?

"It's a very riveting election, it's like watching wrestling," Ansari said, according to Yahoo! News. "There's like, feuds and stuff . . . Right now it's [Trump] and the Khan family. My god they are destroying him, the Khan family is the Drake to Donald Trump's Meek Mill."

Ansari said Mr. Khan "makes a speech like, 'Have you read the constitution? Let me give you a copy!' And then Trump's like, 'Why doesn't your wife say anything?' And the guy says, 'You have a black soul,' which is the coldest sh-- I've ever heard. I heard that was gonna be a line in Tupac's 'Hit 'Em Up' and he was like, 'Nah it's too mean we can't go there.' "

Pokemon goes porn

If there's a trend going on anywhere in pop culture, you can be sure that porn filmmakers are going to jump on it.

Before they jump on each other.

Implying that there may be more than one, Brazzers has just released its first Pokémon GO porn parody entitled Pornstar Go XXX Parody.

It features Pokemon cosplay, which may do what anti-XXX forces couldn't - get people to stop watching porn.

Here's the plot (ahem): Porn fan Jordi must use his Pornstar Go mobile app to catch missing porn stars and return them to their scenes.

A new Ball

What could be scarier than a statue of

Lucille Ball

that was so hated it was dubbed "Scary Lucy"? Being the sculptor hired to replace it.

"It was completely intimidating," said Carolyn Palmer, whose new Lucy is to be unveiled Saturday in Lucille Ball Memorial Park in the actress' western New York hometown of Celoron.

"You can't please everybody," Palmer said by phone from her New Jersey studio, where she was putting the finishing touches on the bronze sculpture she began nine months ago. "But overall, I just really, really hope that I please the town of Celoron, please Lucy's family and all her fans ... Fingers crossed!"

It's hard to imagine she could do any worse than Dave Poulin, whose 2009 version was so thoroughly panned for looking absolutely nothing like the comic actress that fans launched a Facebook campaign last year with the name, "We Love Lucy! Get Rid of this Statue."

Poulin said he received hundreds of angry emails and even death threats for his donated piece, which depicted Ball from the famous I Love Lucy episode in which she auditions for a "Vitameatavegamin" ad. Critics blasted its disturbingly wide-eyed and even zombie-like face.

After Poulin's offer to redo the statue for free was declined, town selection committee chose Palmer, best known for a sculpture of Pope Francis, created for his visit last year to New York City. Private donors are covering the estimated $250,000 cost.

Celoron Mayor Scott Schrecengost said he's hoping the work puts to rest "a very bad story that started a year ago."

Then again, Scary Lucy has been such a draw that there was talk of moving it to the National Comedy Center under construction in nearby Jamestown. The plan for now is to relocate it to another spot in the park.

"It's been an icon in itself," the mayor said.

* The National Enquirer reports that

Cameron Diaz

is pregnant.

The 43-year-old star is married to Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden.

"They couldn't be happier," said an unnamed insider.

"They've been trying for this

baby since their wedding night."

* Tough-guy filmmaking legend Clint Eastwood isn't a fan of political correctness - or politics in general these days.

He says in the new Esquire magazine: "That's the ... generation we're in right now ... Everybody's walking on eggshells. We see people accusing people of being racist and all kinds of stuff.

"When I grew up, those things weren't called racist."

They may not have been "called" racist, Clint, but you grew up in the 1930s. Before Jackie Robinson, school busing, the Voting Rights Act, etc.

They weren't called racist because they were called normal.
