Melissa McCarthy has one and I'm sure James Gandolfini doesn't, enough said.

Howard Stern used to talk about being offered a star countless times and turning it downYOU pay for it.
Don't get me wrong, I like Howie Mandel. But really is he even a top 25 comedian..in any year?
His movie career got him one?
His ensamble judging?
I'm betting at some point Melissa Rivers will have one.

Sad, but inevitable, I suppose.

As accurately mentioned above, this accomplishment long ago became something of a punchline in Hollywood. I'm talking about the widely understood belief that a HWOF star is practically purchasable in recent decades, and long ago surrendered much of its meaning and worth. Some say it's politically driven, and has more to do with an agent's maneuvering than a star's body of work.

The criteria for qualifying is astonishingly low:
Professional achievement (which is apparently subjective), five years experience in the field for which they are nominated, a history of community service or "charitable contributions", and of course most importantly , paying the $30,000 fee.
With those used as the criteria it seems almost anyone can get a star on the Walk of Fame.

It amuses me that so many of you are stupid enough to think those stars mean anything. They don't now, and they haven't for a very long time. So all things considered (its state of worthlessness), she is easily worthy.
WORDS MEAN THINGS! Also, before you come to bitch about a plot hole, rewatch the show/movie.

I haven't seen her contribute ANYTHING to hollywood that would make her worty of a star.
Hate to break it to you, but you're not the Gatekeeper of Hollywood Contributions. The only thing you're a gatekeeper of is your level of beep and you're failing at that.

This just shows exactly how rotten hollywood has become when they put a nobody like her on the same street as epic names.

I would not have stated it so bluntly but I can not say I disagree with you. I used to follow all the streamed Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremonies on the Walk of Fame website and watch any clips on YouTube but so far this year I have not watched any of the new inductees. It has become a joke.

It's not an "honor" to get a Star, but a VANITY PLATE purchase. Outside of her home country, her contribution to America & the world is 6 seasons on an ensemble show & now an embarrassing DUD of a female buddy comedy. Then again, I hear that doughy goon Vince Vaughn got foot/hand prints outside of the Chinese Theater, so the gold has lost its luster there, too.
Live Full & Die Empty. Tap Your Potential and Realize Your Dreams!

Would Hitchcock or Kubrick cast her? There for not of HOF. She's super hot, but no body of grade "A" work.

Yep, I agree. I'm sure she's very nice but does her body of work merit a star on the walk of fame? No, no really

Totally agree. She has done nothing to make her worthy of a star. Having model-actresses like her getting a star on HWOF is just beyond stupid.

She's hardly the first nor the last "unworthy" celebrity to get a star. Kaley Cucuo got one not too long ago. She's been around a while, probably the same amount of time as Vergara, but I wouldn't say her body of work was a hugely important addition to the television industry. Granted, she's on a highly rated and popular show but she's not even 30.
The star used to hold some cache and usually given to someone who made important contributions to their field, but it became about money eons ago. I think a fan club or a sponsor ponies up $10-20 grand and voila!, the flavor of the month gets a star.

Your right it is an insult to those actors/Actresses who earned them

Except that you don't have to wait to be nominated anymore. You can put yourself up for "nomination" by buying one. It's really pathetic, and makes the HWOF absolutely meaningless now. And IMO it's an insult to the old school actors and actresses who actually EARNED their star!
EMOTICONS ARE BACK! YAY!

$30,000 .. plus a history of community service/charitable contributions.

Actually, you can buy a star for about $10,000

I've got to admit, this was something of a surprise. They should have waited another 20 years to fully evaluate her body of work.

Grauman's used to mean something and then they put contemporary actors and actresses in there and cheapened everything..People will know over time who Humphrey Bogart was or Gregory Peck or Lee Marvin, but unless they watch MSt3000 they won't know who Sofia Vergara is. There is maybe a few today that measure up to the Iconic Legends that we had before..and Sofia Vergara is not one of them
