Seriously?? Vanna?? Getting a star?? WTF??
Edited on Mon Jun-27-05 11:17 AM by Blue Belle
Vanna White is getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of fame...

http://apnews.excite.com/article/20050625/D8AULSSO0.html

For what?? TURNING LETTERS?? This woman doesn't even need to know grammar or even how to spell - all she has to do is flip the box that lights up. A trained seal could do her job - but she's getting a star on the walk of fame for it.

First, the Runaway Bride gets a book deal and prime time interview... and now this. What is with this country and rewarding the insignificant?? Why is it that those with actual talent and gifts that would benefit this world are passed over for those with that undeniable, "Deer in the Headlights" quality? Why??

Although, it really shouldn't surprise me... how else would Bush and his cabinet achieve their status?? :eyes:

2. Didn't Jane Russell stick her breasts in the mud? Maybe White
will follow suit and show off the assets that got her where she is.

3. Ryan Seacrest got one a few months ago
Yep THAT Ryan Seacrest (American Idol)

Apparently all you need is $150K and some references. I am surprised Merv hasn't gotten her one before.

4. She doesn't have to flip them anymore
They light up, and she just touches them to reveal the letter.

5. I actually was watching when the unveiled the new board
Pat made sure than everyone knew that Vanna did in fact have to touch the border of the box for the letter to appear. It was pretty funny to watch.

10. You have to pay for the star yourself. It's strictly a vanity thing
