Judge Judy. Alex Trebek. Supertramp. Does anyone on the planet not have a star on the Walk of Fame? It seems like they're handed out with about as much discrimination as fliers on the Vegas strip. While that may be a bit harsh (sorry, Alex), it's true you needn't be human to get one. To see just how many characters are represented on Hollywood Boulevard (and surrounding streets), we visited Hollywood's Chamber of Commerce. While the site features everything we ever wanted to know about the Walk of Fame (and so much more), it didn't allow us to search by fictional character. We moved on to Wikipedia, and discovered an extremely
long list (purported to be up-to-date) of every person, band, animal, landmark, and character on the Walk of Fame. We discovered there are a total of 12 "characters" with stars on the Walk of Fame. They are: Woody Woodpecker, Winnie the Pooh, Snow White, the Simpsons, the Rugrats, Mickey Mouse, Kermit the Frog, Godzilla, the Flintstones, Donald Duck, Bugs Bunny, and Big Bird. If you want to include canine stars Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, and Strongheart, the list gets even longer. Oh, and should you wish to nominate Ask Yahoo! for a star, please contact our agent.
