Chinese Theatre Batman Tired Of F**cking Distracting Tourists Wandering Into His Shot

Chinese Theatre Chewbacca Sought In Olsen Twins’ Star Defacing
4:14AM Seth | Violating an unspoken Hollywood rule of engagement—no matter how undeserving or mink-clad you might deem them to be, you never, ever scribble indelible unpleasantries on a celebrity’s Walk of Famestar—an unseen hand has written “FUR HAGS” beneath the names of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. An Olsen fan site attributes the defacing to PETA, who’ve pulled a similar stunt in the past on Sharon Stone’s star—but word on the street has it that local hot-headed reactionary Chewbacca was spotted fleeing the scene with a Sharpie clenched in one paw, shouting, “MRrraaawwwwahhwwgrrrraah,” which translates to, “You have the blood of a thousand Wookies on your hands, you unfeeling, stole-wrapped, two-headed Olsen monster!” More »
Newest Walk Of Fame Enshrinee Glenn Close Makes Out With Her Star

Cate Blanchett Closes In On Erik Estrada With Walk Of Fame Star
10:45AM Seth | The Curious Case of Benjamin Button star Cate Blanchett was awarded with that most exclusive of all Hollywood decorations presented within spitting distance of a technicolor-wig store, the Walk of Fame star. There to share in the honour were producer Kathleen Kennedy, Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Crystal Skull director Steven Spielberg, and begoateed Button director himself David Fincher, who in his prepared statement likened Blanchett’s luminous beauty and staggering talent to “my second rimjob. My first wasn’t so hot, but the second one, I was like, ‘OK—I think I get it. Yeah—this is pretty awesome.’ That’s how I feel about Cate Blanchett. I just get it, and I think she’s pretty awesome.” [Photo credit: Getty Images] More »
10:32AM Seth | Angela Bassett received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today, and if her emotional speech doesn’t get you right there, well, you’re probably the CEO of a major media corporation or something: “Today my cup runneth over. I am crying now, I cried yesterday and the day before. Who would have thought that a little girl in pigtails from St. Petersburg, Florida, would grow up to find herself gazing at a star with her name on it, on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? This day is so, so special to me.” Photo: Getty Images [Yahoo News] More »

Walk Of Fame Zorro Sees Opportunity In Writers Strike
5:30AM Defamer Hollywood | While we never know exactly what to expect each time Defamer videographer Molly McAleer takes her camera to Hollywood Blvd. to have a chat with one of the Walk of Fame’s Polaroid-proffering superheroes (for example: who knew that Reasonably Passable, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man has such a hard time with handsy tourists?), we were especially surprised to hear that Zorro, a legendary defender of the powerless against the rich and strong, might see the strike as a great time to launch a writing career.
