hippie_chickLOS ANGELES — Hollywood will enshrine an eclectic bunch in its famous curbside Walk of Fame next year, including Hugh Jackman, Ben Kingsley, The Village People and Tinkerbell.
Recipients of the sidewalk stars also include Felicity Huffman, William H. Macy, Cameron Diaz, Robert Downey Jr., Tim Burton, Leslie Caron, Charles Durning, Ralph Fiennes, William Petersen, Kyra Sedgwick, John Stamos, Mark Burnett, Chuck Lorre, Kenny "Baby Face" Edmonds, Dave Koz, The Miracles, Doug Morris, Rush, Shakira, KFI radio personality Bill Handel and KCRW host Harry Shearer, who also provides voices for characters on "The Simpsons."
==================================
For a few years now, we've been trying to get Donny Osmond one. We did fund raisers, and got the money together to submit his name. We've submitted every year since that first year. The ladies who orchestrated this whole thing worked very hard to get this going.
He has achieved a lot and has been in the business since he was five. I think he more than qualifies. Granted he's included in the Osmond Family star that's already residing there, and which I was there for the unveiling of, but we wanted to see him get one alone too. Michael Jackson does, alone, and with his family. So why not Donny? But then again, Michael is Michael, right?
Anyway. Back to the drawing board. I think the Chamber is playing with us, I really do. I mean this has to be a joke. The Village People? Really? They'll give a star to a disco era two or three hit wonder group but not to Donny, who's career and achievements outstretch theirs by miles? I don't understand the criteria as well as I thought I did then. I can understand and agree with some of the other honorees though. Even Tinkerbell... at least she's somewhat an iconic character, right? I don't know. I don't know.
Whatever.
Closing tonight, have to leave for work in a little over an hour.
