Shakira??

Hmm, nice to see they're giving those things out to anyone these days. :rolleyes:

tinkerbell?! what about ariel...?! lol. tinkerbell gets way more publicity than she needs.
and shakira? i haven't heard anything about her in two years or so.
so random.

Tinker Bell, who isn't even real, gets a star ... but they snub 76-year-old
chimpanzee Cheetah (who has outlived both his "Tarzan" co-stars Johnny
Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan) for the seventh time. There's no
justice in Hollywood.

John Stamos is getting a Hollywood Walk of Fame star? :eek: For what?

omg i hope da jonas bruders get one!!111 :woohoo: :wave: :D :eek: :woohoo: ;) :p

Hmm, nice to see they're giving those things out to anyone these days. :rolleyes:
Yeah really, that list seems kind of pathetic. There are plenty of 'classic' stars who don't even have a star!

Hugh Jackman, Ben Kingsley, The Village People, Tinkerbell, Felicity Huffman, Ralph Fiennes, John Stamos, Shakira.

ummm WHY?

THE VILLIAGE PEOPLE :rofl: oh my God. i just read that.

Ok peeps, I have posted this information before, so allow me to post it again. Maybe it will help those to understand how it is ANYONE can get a star (including those like John Stamos who don't deserve one):
