It's About Time!
The city of Hollywood got an extra shot of homo faaaaaabulousness yesterday when the Village People received their star on the Walk of Fame. That star looks so bland. It should be extra sparkly or something. This is the Village People we're talking about!
Some of the original members of the Village People weren't even there which totally sucks. The original cop, Victor Willis, managed to show up. He watched the ceremony from the sidewalk. He also wore a cop costume that was probably found in the "last chance bin" in the Halloween section at KMart. A couple of LAPD officers had to check Victor's fake gun to make sure it wasn't real. That fucking makes me sad. Victor shouldn't be standing on the sidewalk in a paltry cop uniform. He should up there with the rest of those ripe fruits. Life isn't fair.
Charo was also on hand to congratulate the dudes. I'd like to think that Charo accidentially walked in on the ceremony. In my head, Charo spends her Fridays afternoon, strolling through Hollywood, coochie-cooing for all the tourists. She's so fucking hot.
Disco rules! They need to establish a "Stars" sidewalk in Castro District in San Francisco. I'm not gay. I'm a married mommy of two, but I love being around the "love". SF has very easy going vibes for a big city. It's so unique and thank God it's not another L.A. ---seriously, there are some extraordinary people of all walks of life from this area that should be founded. Just my opinion.
DISCO FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Mr. Mercury =). Still though, it sucks to be on the sidewalk watching your group's name get an award.
They FINALLY got a dirt star! :)

Wut the Hay-ell is going on here?!?!?!??!?!?!?!!!!
Wow , its funny they are given a star on the walk of fame the same day as the birthday of original cowboy Randy Jones.
Ray Simpson, brother to Valerie Simpson replaced original lead singer Victor Willis in 1980 and even appears in the cult classic so bad its wonderful "Cant Stop The Music" disco movie musical directed by none other than Rhoda's mom Bounty paper towel spokesmodel Nancy Walker.
Victor became a hot mess of Amy Wino proportions but looks as if he has cleaned up well and doing OK.
These guys were such a bright spot in my 70s childhood & dont hate people they still have at least 3 original members Native American Felipe Rose, , Army solider Alex Briley & construction worker David "Scar" Hodo in their lineup , as previous posts stated , Ive seen oldie acts without one original member , someone just owns the name and tours as that act.
Rock ON VP !
and OMG CHARO is seriously the hottest bitch alive right now !
"It costs alotta money to look this cheap"-Dolly Parton
I wish Victor Willis would get his shit together and get out there and play, Ray Simpson is cool but Victor is the voice behind ALL their classic hits. Sucks Randy Jones wasn't there. And that original biker Glenn Hughes has passed (although the new guy is a real nice guy, spoke to him after a VP show once).
that homeless dude in the picture must be a fan of their music.
There's a line in Y.M.C.A. that says:
You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal,
You can do whatever you feel ...
all this blatant hotness just made my palin hole pucker.
Best part of any wedding reception is when we're all nice and tipsy & they crank up the Village People.
What?! He's the main one who did all the singing. Why'd they make him stay on the sidewalk? So wrong.
Original Leatherman was so hot.

I did wonder why there were so many nobodies on there.
Does Angelina Full of Grace have one yet?
_________________________________________
No, I don't believe our Lady of Lips, Hips, and Ego has one. Probably since the sidewalk would
snarl and pucker when they tried to place it in.
I think she'd be more afraid that the factoid that
she had to PAY to get her star would dent her
fat-headed EGO.

Yo Bossy...these guys in the picture are the replacements for the original Village People, with the exception being the Indian, Felipe (who used to dance on the bar at the long-defunct Anvil bar for tips). Other original members such as Glenn Hughes, the Leatherman, have passed away or retired. What you see in the picture are the replacement members, who change from time to time since the name "Village People" is held by a corporation or individual who can use the name legally to promote the group although the members are NOT the originals. You see this in other music groups like the Platters or other "nostalgia" acts whose original members would be too old to perform any longer.

And Charo is so hot.That granny has hot legs, although it kinda looks like she is wearing the super panyhose that the girls at Hooters wear so you can't see any imperfections.
Yeah, my skanky housemate used to work at Hooters. Those "pantyhose" are really like nude colored spandex/spanx. They're super thick and stretchy to hide anything unsightly I guess. They don't actually wrap around their feet, that's why they wear those hideous white tube socks--my housemate hated those tubesocks.
I'm confused. These guys holding stars aren't the village people? But the original guy from the Village People is on the sidewalk watching the ceremony? I don't get it, no seriously please explain this to me.

Those are not the Village People. They're so NOT the Village People. Props to the real VP and Randy Jones in particular since today is his birthday. Back in the day, they were something else, just some Christopher Street clones who answered an ad in the Voice for a "disco band" who looked like the guys cruising in fetish wear...and oh yeah, the original ad ended: "must have mustache". Somehow, they transcended, bless em all.

I don't remember the cowboy either, but if you look at the fourth thumbnail, not only is his expression kind of hilarious, but you can see "Scientology West Center" on a sign behind him.

So there is! Excellent spotting. There was a blogging argument on dlisted the other day about a some anti Scientology group taking to the streets *also in your city* on September 13th. I wonder if *they* were protesting in front of the *that* scientology center? The dickheads. And I'm not talking about the village people either.

Its kind of like Kool & the Gang, there aren't alot of original members left. They sung at a private eBay convention like two years ago, I was like 'who the fuck are these guys'. The older eBayers loved it, I was like "can we get some bitches that are not on life support" that went over well.
