Stars light up UK's Walk of Fame

Right....The UK's answer to Hollywood's Walk of Fame is being unveiled in a star-studded TV special.

Entertainers from Sir Laurence Olivier and Sir Alec Guinness to Ricky Gervais and The Sex Pistols are being honoured with plaques on The Avenue of Stars.
Never seen it as ive been to work , some strange names added to the list , one of them being Lenny Henry :loon ...Was he ever funny ? .....Years ago he used to just say OOOOOKKKAAAYYYY......In a really irritating voice,he gets a star for that.....wonders never cease.

Heres a few others....
Sir Laurence Olivier
Sir Charlie Chaplin
Sir Alec Guinness
Dame Judi Dench
Dame Edna Everage
Nicole Kidman
Lenny Henry
Benny Hill
The Sex Pistols
The Rolling Stones

Who would like to see nominated , or are you like me and you couldnt give a flying f**k ?

she aint even British is she? She must be as im sure they never overlooked that fact did they? She aint famous for being British though is she?

I'd agree with them all Winrew barr Sex Pistols and possibly Lenny Henry. He has been about for nearly 30 years mind and does a lot of chawity work i believe. the Sex Pistols were just a pop band constructed by Malcom Mclaren imo. Theyre no more worthy of the Walk Of fame than the Spice Girls possibly

Re: Stars light up UK's Walk of Fame

I think its a Commonwelath thing as Dame Enda is a Aussie also , Er , well shes a bloke called,Barrie i think , liked the Pistols but you are correct , they were all Mclarens puppets , only ever made the one album didnt they ?

I would have the Clash down instead of them...

Re: Stars light up UK's Walk of Fame

Is it just me, or does anyone else disagree with giving Gervais a star?

Whats he done?

The Office, yeah excellent
Extras, mmmmmm quite good
Animals stand up Good
Politics - a pile of shite

Nah for me at least he shouldnt be up there yet. Maybe if hes still going strong in 10 years.

Re: Stars light up UK's Walk of Fame

People are awfully quick to forget how shite gervais was on the 11 o'clock show. I suppose it's tough when you are constantly being shown up by someone actually funny -ie Sacha.
There are those people who don't think the office was very good. He's a reasonable comedian yeah but hall of fame material ? Not yet, you have to stand the ultimate test for that, the test of time.
People seem to forget the principles of being a celebrity these days probably due to all this reality TV pish. It used to be the case that celebrities were either talented, beautiful, funny or even all three.
Nowadays we have people like Jade goodie in all these gossip magazines.
Talented - are you kidding ? Beautiful - each to their own but I don't find her attractive personally. Funny - well you could argue funny perhaps but only in a laughing at her rather than with her way.
There are all these celebs these days that are famous for like......no reason at all. It seems to lower the criteria for getting in one of these hall of fame things. I don't really care anyway like but it's sad when the latest fad comedian/celeb is put forward for such things. It must piss the actual talented celebs off a bit.

Re: Stars light up UK's Walk of Fame

I agree with Shrewd and Alien that i dont think Gervais should be a loowed near the Walk of Fame. I like him but only as he aint scared to say whatever he wants to get a laugh and he revels in it. The Office is one of my favs of all time but even on the back of that he shouldnt get in.

Extras i actually never saw. Just missed it. Wouldnt mind seeing it mind as well...its Ricky and he's a laugh aint he?
