Hollywood Walk of Fame

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce recently released the honorees getting their Stars on the Walk of Fame in 2012. Some of those honored this year are:

Jennifer Aniston
Scarlett Johansson
Kate Winslet
Valerie Bertinelli
Matt Groening (creator of "The Simpsons")
Jennifer Lopez

The full list can be found at the Walk of Fame site.

There are five categories a person can get a star for: Motion Pictures, Broadcast Television, Music, Radio, and Theatre. A few excpetions have been made over the years. Neal Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins all have a moon shaped star in honor of the first Moon landing. Muhammad Ali and Magic Johnson both have stars as well. Only one person has a star in all five categories and that's Gene Autry.

In order to get a star, you must be nominated and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce picks the honorees from that list. There are two caveats: you must attend a public presentation for the unveiling of your star and there is a fee for the upkeep of the star.

I’ve been in a few book clubs over the years, and while I certainly haven’t loved everything I’ve read as part of them, it definitely led me to YA book club books I otherwise would never have tried and got me looking at a whole range of different perspectives. School is back in session for the autumn, and whether you’re an educator yourself or just want to help the teens in your life discover new books, a YA book club is a great way to get young people engage...
