Neil Patrick Harris and Melissa Etheridge are among those set to for Hollywood’s Walk of Fame next year
No matter how many times I walk down Hollywood Boulvard or down Vine Street, I always look down at the Walk of Fame to see the names of people I know and love or who I have never heard of.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has made some questionable selections in the past to add to the walk (the Olsen twins?) but the 2011 group looks to be one of the more stellar.
I’m particularly thrilled to see that Neil Patrick Harris will be among the honorees.
We know he’s the hottest actor-host around these days but it’s also important to note that the man has been working hard in television, stage and films since 1988 when he debuted opposite Whoopi Goldberg in Clara’s Heart. A year later he had his own series on ABC: Doogie Howzer M.D.
Neil is not the only out-and-proud star being honored with a star: Grammy and Oscar winning singer Melissa Etheridge is also in the 2011 group.
Miss Oprah Winfrey is getting a star which may be the one thing she does not have; director-choreographer Kenny Ortega is on the list as are The Muppets. Then there are a quartet of gorgeous Oscar winners: Penelope Cruz, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sissy Spacek, and Reese Witherspoon.
Oscar nominees to be honored are: Ed Harris, Ridley Scott, Donald Sutherland and an entire family of nominees: Laura Dern along with both of her parents: Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd. I think that is so cool! Love, love, love Diane Ladd in Ramblin’ Rose, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore and just about anything else she’s in!
The rest: Danny DeVito, Tina Fey, Simon Fuller, John Langley, Ed O’Neill, John Wells, Los Tigres Del Norte, Rascal Flatts, Go-Go’s, Slash, Will i. Am, Bebe & Cece Winans, and Joe Mantegna.
Congratulations to all!
