Oprah Winfrey has finally arrived, that slacker. She's landed herself
a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The Queen of Talk and media mogul extraordinaire is among the honored
recipients who will get their very own star on the Hollywood landmark
in 2011.
Among the other TV industry folk being honored is Neil Patrick Harris,
"30 Rock's" Tina Fey, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" star Danny
DeVito, Ed O'Neill of "Modern Family," producer John Wells ("ER,"
"Southland") and "Cops" series creator John Langley.
On the big screen, The Muppets will get their own star (which should
make for a fun ceremony), along with Penelope Cruz, Ed Harris, "High
School Musical" choreographer and director Kenny Ortega, Gwyneth
Paltrow, Ridley Scott, Sissy Spacek, Donald Sutherland, Reese
Witherspoon and a family -- Laura Dern and her parents Bruce Dern and
Diane Ladd.
Recording artists won't be ignored either. Posthumous stars will go to
Buddy Holly and Louis Prima, while among the living, stars will go to
Melissa Etheridge, norteno band Los Tigres del Norte, Rascal Flatts,
the Go-Gos, Will.I.Am. and Bebe and CeCe Winans.
Finally, Joe Mantegna will receive the lone star for live performance/theatre.
"It was not an easy job to winnow down the extra large number of
nominations this year to reach these 30 names," says John Pavlik,
chair of the Hollywood Walk of Fame Committee, "and many deserving
names were left for future consideration.
"But the placement of stars for these famous celebrities will give
fans and tourists some fun and exciting close encounters next year,
such as a rare family dedication, when three stars will be placed
during the same ceremony for actors Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd and
their daughter Laura Dern."
So far, no dates for the dedication ceremonies have been set.
