George Lopez BUYS... er, "treats" himself to the 2,306th star on The
Hollywood Walk Of Fame for his many years in stand-up comedy and also
creating a pretty mediocre long-running sitcom that just copies
Shoe Shine Boy...
Shoe Shine Boy...
'Roseanne' with its "aren't we down to Earth?" sarcasm and on-going soap
(plot) element and 'The Golden Girls' (George's IDIOTIC old bag
mother!), but in the unsuccessful way. Way, go George! *thumbs up* Some
celebs buy babies (*cough-cough* Rosie O'Donnell, Diane Keaton, etc.),
some buy stars (freakin' Pink?!) and some buy both. To each their own, I
guess.
HOLLYWOOD - Comedian George Lopez will receive the 2,306th star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame today, the same day the 100th episode of his ABC
comedy "George Lopez" is aired.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Lopez and his wife, Ann, are scheduled to
speak at the morning ceremony next to the Kodak Theatre on Hollywood
Boulevard, near the star of Lopez's friend, Sandra Bullock, who like
Lopez, is one of the executive producers of his ABC series.
Born April 23, 1961 in Mission Hills, Lopez was a standup comic before
becoming only the fourth Latino to head a television comedy, following
Desi Arnaz ("I Love Lucy"); Freddie Prinze ("Chico and the Man") and
Shoe Shine Boy...
Paul Rodriguez ("AKA Pablo").
Lopez also starred in the 2005 film "The Adventures of Shark Boy & Lava
Girl" and the 2004 made-for-television movie, "Naughty or Nice."
Lopez received a Grammy nomination in 2004 for best comedy album for
Shoe Shine Boy...
"Team Leader."
Lopez, who suffers from a genetic defect which causes his kidneys to
malfunction, received a kidney from his wife last April.
Today's ceremony is the second of two on consecutive days. The record-
setting disbanded R&B group Destiny's Child received a star yesterday.

Not trying to be argumentative on the issue, but to latinos...Lopez is
hilarious... if you're not latino, you probably wont 'get' his humor. I
don't mean this in a disrespectful way but almost all the latinos I
know, most of my mom's family and most of my friends included think
he's one of the funniest comedians out there.
If he wasn't funny, his stand up comedy shows wouldn't sell out the way
they do.

Yeh, its like rap music..the sorriest, lamest excuse for talent and music
yet they have sellout concerts, some even win grammies for spewing filth,
just goes to show how backwards this country has become.

No, you mentioned his heritage because whether you realize it or not,
you are racist and felt compelled to differentiate him from other
comedians by mentioning the fact that he is of Mexican *heritage* (not
of Mexican origin-big difference). I hope you realize how tacky you
come across.

Lopez is like another Freddie Prinze, put on TV to fill a void. Lopez nor
Prinze was funny, just very annoying with the lame ethnic jokes.

True.
What about if they had a burro?

I know that instead of "annoying" you meant to promote lame ethnic
stereotypes they can rail against in the off season.
