Things that make me angry: Queen Latifah’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

If during your appearance on Family Feud you are asked to “name someone famous,” do not say “Queen Latifah.” You will get zero points. You might even lose points. How did Latifah get her star? Was it the one meaningful album from 17 years ago that made it to number 6 on the Billboard charts? Or was it her brilliant acting in House Party 2? Maybe Barbershop 2? What about Beauty Shop, the Barbershop 2 spin-off? Maybe the star was bestowed in anticipation of Beauty Shop 2, and her certain brilliance in it.

Maybe it was her Oscar nomination in the movie ‘Chicago’, her being the ‘first lady of rap’, her platinum-selling albums, or even her hosting that little-known event called the Grammy Awards...
Or the maybe that potential 'stars' petition (with a 5-figure fee) to get their name up.
She joins the likes of Bob Barker, Big Bird, Pee Wee Herman, and Thomas Edison (in no particular order of importance).
Book your trip Angryman, Ray Romano is scheduled for 2006.
Unable to confirm everyone's favourite rockers from down under- AC/DC!

Plus House Party 2 followed House Party, which was the best work from Kind N Play. Maybe you're just jealous you can't grow your high fade...
