yeah they were talking about that on the radio the other day. really devalues the whole thing since they will sell a star to just about anyone these days.

there is no honor in a star on the walk of fame. you get one by purchasing it. they aren't awarded to famous and talented people. you pay for it. seacrest paid for it. the end.

More....

And even if a celebrity is awarded a "star," the actual installation is often held up by scheduling difficulties. For instance, when John Denver died in 1997, he still didn't have a star on the Walk of Fame, despite the fact that he had been awarded one 15 years earlier - they had been waiting for him to schedule a personal appearance...
:frown:
