How can I change a list of plain lines into headlines/TODO items?

If I paste in a block of text composed of separated lines, is there any way to convert each of those lines into either headlines or TODO list items? So:

item
item
item

becomes:

* item
* item
* item

without my having to type [Meta][Return] at the begging of each line?

emacs org-mode

With a default org-mode configuration, select your lines up to and including the newline at the end of the last line, and do M-x org-toggle-heading. With a prefix argument, it tells org-mode how many levels in it should make the heading (C-u 4 M-x org-toggle-heading)
