Stars We Didn't Know Were on the Walk of Fame

By PopEater Staff Posted Nov 27th 2009 01:47PM

The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a place where legends of showbiz are honored in the form of a big shiny star placed on the sidewalk for all to see and take photographs of. Yes, legends like Marilyn Monroe and Marlon Brando and actors of their ilk are all emblazoned on the walkway, but when John Stamos was recently honored with a star, we got thinking: There's a bunch of people we had no idea were on the Walk of Fame. So... let's take a walk down the less notorious star owners ... like Mr. Donald Duck on your left.

Stars We Didn't Know Had Stars

There are more people (and dogs and monsters) with stars on the Hollywood than we ever imagined. Here's a few Star owners we really had no clue about!

Surprising Walk of Fame Stars

John Stamos has had a long career, and his stints in 'Full House' and 'ER' (not to mention his Beach Boys connection) landed him a spot on the Walk of Fame.

Know who this is? It's Judge Joseph A. Wapner, the man who paved the way for Judge Judy and the rest of the television gavel-slammers. He got his star in 2009.

Magician and escape artist Harry Houdini scored a star on the Walk of Fame in 1975.

In 2006, R&B group Destiny's Child nabbed a coveted star on the walk of fame ... and split up shortly after. Since then, Beyonce has achieved superstardom in her solo career, but the Child star is still her only one -- for now.

You don't have to be human -- or even a living thing -- to get a star on the Walk of Fame. Godzilla, the ubiquitous Japanese monster that's been terrifying and crushing cities for decades, has his own star.

David Spade found himself on the Walk of Fame in 2003, thanks to his fame gathered from 'Saturday Night Live,' 'Spin City' and a slew of films.

Now that's a collie with class! Lassie has a star, but he/she's not the only canine on the Walk. Rin Tin Tin also has one.

Ryan Seacrest, who has slowly become the hardest working man in showbiz since he broke into the biz as the host of 'American Idol,' will now live forever on the Walk.

Magic Johnson was honored with a Star not for his legendary sports career, but for his involvement in the movie theater business.

Pee-Wee Herman, not the man who played him (Paul Reubens), has a star ... but we'd like to see it combined with Reubens so the man behind the bowtie can get some props.

The way its going the past twenty years there's more "stars" on the darn walk than there aren't.
Its harder to name someone who isn't on the walk than who is

The stars are best used for toiletting your dog and hocking lugies.

Like a J.D. Power endorsement, it goes to the highest bidder.

By lily

Its a sad state of affairs when godzilla can get a star on the walk of fame next to such wonderful celebrities as David Niven and Humphrey Bogart. It used to be that you were honored for your body of work by your peers with a star and now these bone heads can buy one for themselves. Hollywood isnt what it used to be ...what a shame.

it seems like everyone gets an star...it's just like the sports Hall of fame...there are just too many lame people there!

By Raejean

It's probably a good thing nobody consulted me about this because half of them wouldn't have be so honored. What ever happened to REAL STARS? Look out, Paris Hilton, you might actually have a chance.

By Looch

Glad to see that Beau Bridges ad a star. I wish all the Bridges had stars like Jeff and Lloyd. They are the most underated actors. Love all of them.

SEAHUNT SEAHUNT

Lloyd in High Noon,
Jeff in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot.
Both Oscar worthy performances.

By RedSx8

My understanding on the Walk of Fame is that the stars purchase the space and the star, which explains all of the David Spades along the Walk of Fame.

By Sally Fan

So let me get this straight. What you are saying is that every single star on the Walk was bought by a Movie Star!? That would explain why Sally doesn't have one, she has too much dignity for that. She's a class act.

By Ed

Little David Spade??????? You got to be deeing me. I agree, Paris Hilton there may be hope for you after all.

By michael

They failed to mention....the star requests his star and then pays the city of LA somewhere around 3 grand to install it on hollywood blvd. All about money....LOL

By Wendy

Money hungry?? Hollywood!?!?! Shame on you for suggesting such a thing!! (Note the sarcasm)

By EDDIE

DONALD TRUMP HAS ONE...???? WTF

Ron Jeremy changed his nickname? He used to be the "Human Pig". Hey he's moving up in the world

By IRISH

michael jackson?...pee-wee hermon?...what? no BUSHY-BOY?

By Den

Not yet, but Gore probably will! He invented the Walk of Fame.

By Steve Hartman

They sure don't make stars today like they used to. It appears that NOW you can buy a star. Call me...Disgusted!

By gobluespartyon

Interesting and good article I think it's awesome that the celebs get to have there names on the walk of fame. There's still a lot of great stars out there.
