FlipBoardChris Berman is getting a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. I’d be totally annoyed with this, but friggin’ Carrot Top has his own star. Chris Berman and Carrot Top together? Sounds about right. From the Hollywood Chamber Of Commerce, via Awful Announcing:
A new group of entertainers in motion pictures, television, live theater, and recording have been selected to receive stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, it was announced today by the Walk of Fame Committee of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. These individuals were chosen from among hundreds of nominations to the committee at a meeting held June 15, and ratified by the Chamber’s Board of Directors.
Berman will be inducted with 27 others in 2010. Really? We’re waiting a whole ‘nother year to do this? He could be dead by then. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a picture of good health but, you know, accidents happen.
His Hollywood star contains 7% codeine.
That’s great.
Now Fred Hickman has a place to shit.
I still think Necessary Roughness was his best work. He and Kelly really made that film!
Maybe he could be next to Levar Burton. I spent way too much time looking through the stars to find one completely irrelevant
Levar Burton has a star??? Guess all those years of Reading Rainbow paid off for him…who knew?
I just can’t wait till Bommer goes all Harold Reynolds on Pam Oliver…or senile.
/fuck…too late on the senile.
WHOOP
Yet, Tom Mees still hasn’t got his name on a life preserver at his neaighbor’s pool….
the world is not fair.
Bommer < BOOMER
/fuck me and this keyboard
The nice news about this piece of idiocy: $20k to $25k has to be ponied up by the “star” to get said star.
THAT’S IT?!!?
Then I’m finna make it rain and Milky Way that walk of fame!
That turn of phrase “said ____” is so played out. You didn’t even mention the star so how could it be “said”? Please refrain from using said phrasing.
It is just a paid PR stunt…From Wikipedia:
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce “Walk of Fame Committee” is responsible for selecting a new group of entertainers each year to receive stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. New recipients are announced each June for the following year. In order for a person to get a star on the Walk of Fame, he or she must agree to attend a presentation ceremony within five years of selection, and a $25,000 fee must be paid to the Trust for costs such as security at the star ceremony; a 2003 FOX News story noted that the fee is often paid by sponsors such as film studios and record companies, as part of the publicity for a release with which the honoree is involved.[citation needed] On other occasions, the fee is paid by a fan club. Often, it is paid by the nominating person himself or herself.
