walk of fame peeps for 2007!

Is there a rhyme or reason to the selection process. Vanna White got a star last year before alll the people on this list? Okay, she deserved hers before P Diddy at least — but before Robert Altman and Barbara Walters?

Here is the real truth about the Hollywood Stars. It’s all about publicity.
In order for a person to get a star on the Walk of Fame, he or she must agree to attend a presentation ceremony within five years of selection, and a $15,000 fee must be paid to the Trust for costs such as security at the star ceremony; a 2003 FOX News story noted that the fee is typically paid by sponsors such as movie studios and record companies, as part of the publicity for a release with which the honoree is involved. On other occasions, the fee is paid by a fan club or the nominating person or organization.
