Question For Victor:

How is it that Ryan Seacrest got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and Joe Don Baker hasn't yet?

I think it only costs something like $5000 to get one. May have gone up since I heard this almost 15 years ago. Not sure who you contact, but it is a relatively easy thing to do.

It is truly an injustice, is all I can say.

I thought you had to earn such awards after decades of work in a given field. Silly me.

If Britney and Seacrest can get one, why not me?

Looking at the s's, i wonder if the fact that Brittany Spears and David Spade got a star, de-values the three stars that Sinatra got. Or does it work the other way around. Does John Phillip Souza's star add luster to Patrick Swayze's lackluster career?

According to

http://www.seeing-stars.com/Immortalized/WalkOfFame.shtml

Robert Redford, Mel Gibson, Jane Fonda, and Clint Eastwood still have not received Stars. (Jane Fonda deserves a trial for treason, not a Star.)

Mel Gibson probably will never get one since he's a fundamentalist Christian, and we all know how Hollywood feels about THEM.
