If Walken doesn't have one, it means they're for sale.

Apparently the cost is $30,000.

Interesting read here.

Good article. I guess Hollywood stars aren't exclusive and a A lister wouldn't want one. I'm a little disappointed Santa Claus couldn't get one. I'm a big fan of his work.

Hollywood has always been self congratulatory and douchy but come on. Are there any honors or accolades left on earth that are worth a damn. What a crappy world we live in.
If those actors had any honor or dignity they would decline this "award."

Really? Ahn Sung-ki? A guy who has never even been in a Hollywood movie? I like him and all but that's stupid.

California needs all of the money it can get. Businesses, including media industries, are leaving in droves. Just a matter of time before Hollywood is but an empty shell.

California is the 49th least-friendly business state in the union. Heck, you cannot even buy a product from California off of the internet without getting nailed for state taxes now. Businesses can hop over the border and set up shop in the 2nd most business-friendly state in the union. And many are.

California is trying to eek money out of local businesses to pay for its failed ultra-liberal policies, so businesses are voting with their feet.

Well, as long as the local media don't start claiming they are the first Korean actors to get a star.

(Be sure to read up on his father, while you're at it).

OK...I've found a fan blog which claims they are the first Asian actors to get a star. OK, I'll relent since Philip Ahn was technically Korean-American...Sure. But, what about Jackie Chan?

(I didn't bother to check if he's THE first "Asian Asian" star to get one).
