[Deja Q]

3. ARSENIO HALL has a star ON THE SAME STREET as Judy Garland,

Gloria Swanson, Fred Astaire, and Marilyn Monroe.

That's just sleazily wrong.

Better Pooh than an awful lot of what passes for celebrity these days. At least Pooh stands the test of time.

Arsenio. Fucking. HALL. Fred Astaire. Ginger Rogers.

Apologies for the shouting, but I'm a little peeved... :mad:

4. Um... are you sitting down?

Yep Ryan Seacrest (American Idol) has one too

8. The going priice of "legend" is 15K and a resume....

I can fake a resume with the best of them and would be happy to kick in a few bucks..

Warning--the source (ugh) FAUX News, but nevertheless:

Aside from getting a sponsor and paying the $15,000 fee, would-be star recipients must submit an application to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce (search), which asks for little more than the nominee's name and list of accomplishments. A committee of five — headed by Hollywood's longtime "honorary mayor" Johnny Grant (search) — sifts through the 200-300 annual applications and chooses 20-24 of them to recognize, according to Martinez-Holler.

The $15,000, she said, goes toward the removal of the old, blank star, the installation of the new one with the entertainer's name, security, publicity and staging costs, with $5,000 set aside for maintenance and repair.

5. Yes it's sad, Just like prostitutes..Hollywood will put your name

on the "walk of Fame" for x-amount of dollars...
So sad.

Someof the greatest names in movie history and you get pooh and Ryan Seacrest?

[ET Awful]

6. I always hated that Disneyfied Pooh.

Give me classic A. A. Milne Pooh or no Pooh at all.

7. I was about to say the same thing
