Some of you may have read recently that the famous chimp Cheeta didn't receive enough votes to earn a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. Tinkerbell, however, animated fairy from Peter Pan, did. She is the most recent cartoon character to be considered for and receive the coveted star.
The Walk of Fame Committee (yes, there is one) for the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce choose the recipients of the stars based on the votes, and their choices are then ratified by the Board of Directors. The recipient of the star must agree to attend a ceremony and shell out $25,000 to the Trust to cover things like security. I assume Tinkerbell's estate will handle all of this.
Other stars of the living kind to receive the star this go around are Ben Kingsley, Hugh Jackman and Harry Shearer, as well as the Village People, The Miracles (you know, Smokey's backup group) and Shakira. Her hips are probably the real recipient, but Shakky will accept on their behalf.
