Matt Damon is in; Ben Affleck’s still out. Tim McGraw will appear, but his lovely wife hasn’t made the grade. Always ripe for debate, next year’s list of new stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a doozy.
Okay, Michael Caine and Michelle Pfeiffer have clearly earned their stripes…but Erik Estrada? Barbara Walters, yes; Robert Altman, fine…LeAnn Rimes?! What the hell?!
And then there’s the whole issue of Puff Doody. Never mind that the Walk of Fame is presumably designed to recognize creative contributions to the arts…and electronically sampling the creative musical contributions of others hardly seems to qualify…what name is Sean Puffy Doodle Combs going to put on the star? Do they make stars big enough to hold all his nicknames? Or are they going to change their mind at the last minute, and give the honor to someone with a more low-maintenance moniker…like Prince?
