SHAKESPEARE'S SISTER on the latest addition to the Hollywood Walk of Fame:

The Hollywood Walk of Fame is really going downhill:

The host of "American Idol" has become an idol himself.

Ryan Seacrest was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Wednesday in a ceremony attended by his Fox TV colleagues, "Idol" judges Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell.

"Listen, Simon," Jackson said to Cowell during their ceremonial speech. "What would we say about this day?"

"Ill-deserved," the famously grumpy Cowell replied, dryly. "I cannot believe that April the 20th is going to be Ryan Seacrest Day. I am officially taking this day off my diary."

At least megabitch extraordinaire Simon still has some sense.

Awwww, I kinda like Ryan! It's the voting public I have a problem with. Those idiots voted Anwar off the show! I was really upset about that. How is it that Scott Savol stays on week after week, but the best male singer on the show has to go home? Plus: Anwar went to Montclair (NJ) High School -- my daughter's school!

All of us here are truly bummed out.
