John Belushi was an enormous talent laid to waste by his own demons. So sad.

Nice...loser druggies are immortalized in pavement when talented, upstanding US citizens, like Condi Rice are vilified and 20 years from now will only (if even this) a page in history.

Belushi paid the ultimate price for being a "loser druggie."
You didn't. So what's your point?

I have actually stayed at the elegant Chateau Marmont Hotel in Hollywood. Even stood outside of the bungalow where Belushi overdosed. I was there for a weekend back in 1993: There were several famous stars engaging in drug and sex activity. I caught glimpses of a famous black singer and the widow of a famous dead singer. They were all stoned out of their minds.
Far Out !

It is my understanding that these stars are purchased, not given. Whats the big deal, you are a star you buy the space in the sidewalk.

So what's your point?You must have not been able to read the entire post. Here it is again:

Yep. It's somewhere about 5 grand for a star. Maybe more for a prime location. Drew Barrymore got one next to her grandfather.

Don't even have to be real! Mickey Mouse has a star right in front of Mann's Chinese Theater. The Apollo 11 astronauts have a special plaque at Hollywood and Vine.

I get it. And I read the whole post.
And I still don't understand your point.
Paying homage to the talent of John Belushi doesn't have a damn thing to do with Condi rice. They'll each leave their own legacy... most likely in very different places.
There should more than enough good karma pie to give a good-sized piece to John Belushi without sending Condi home hungry.
Lighten up.

If Condi Rice could sing and dance, she could get a star. I'd much rather have some crackhead getting a star on the walk, and keep Condi where she belongs, next to the president.

I heard that in order to achieve the maximum effect, the star will be covered with white powder.

You go, Sonny. I'd sure like to know what your tag line means. It's said to have been the personal motto and a favorite saying of Caligula. It translates approximately to let them hate so long as they fear.
