The article says he's "the only 'toon tapped for the honor." Does that mean Donald gets one and not Mickey? That's just wrong.

Nope! Mickey has one....I think the article meant this year? Here is the location for Mickey's:

6925 Hollywood Blvd.: Mickey Mouse

He is in some great company as he is on the same block as:
Kevin Spacey, Harrison Ford, Nicole Kidman, Britney Spears, Steven Spielberg, Anthony Hopkins, Robert Duvall, Spencer Tracy, Groucho Marx, Burt Reynolds, Julie Andrews , Greta Garbo, William Shatner, Jean Harlow, Tom Cruise, The Lone Ranger, Elton John, Mickey Mouse , Jack Nicholson, Barbra Streisand, Robin Williams, Drew Barrymore, Michael Jackson,
Bill Cosby

Okay, good. I thought he did, but the way that article read it got me confused. Thanks for the clarification.

Congrats Donald! :D

And it appears that Walt has two?

I found 2 addresses for his:
7021 Hollywood Blvd. (Motion Picture)
6747 Hollywood Blvd. (TV)

Roy's is at:
6833 Hollywood Blvd. (Motion Picture)

The article is just flat-out wrong. Bugs Bunny has a star.

Here is the exact quote, in which the "only" obviously is referring to this set of new additions and not the full set of stars:


The wacky quacker, who just celebrated his 70th birthday, is just one of the celebs picked to receive a star on the well-traveled Hollywood strip next year--and the only 'toon tapped for the honor.

Well, all I've got to say is: It's about bloody time!

BTW...I haven't been down south in a few weeks, any idea if there's going to be some sort of souvenier item marking Donald's Birthday? I've got the 50th birthday watch (actually tod gave it to me for a wedding present) and the 65th birthday charm bracelet (and does it ever turn heads).
