Ringo Starr returned to the iconic Capitol Records Tower and a gathering of several hundred Beatles fans to celebrate the unveiling of his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday night. 'I want to thank Capitol Records,' Starr said to cheers, glancing up at the tower. 'It's nice to look at a building that you helped pay for.'

The ceremony began as a column of local high school marching band drummers in red uniforms poured out the tower lobby pounding a festive beat. 'OK, drummers!' announced Starr as he stepped to the podium.

Roy Orbison gets Hollywood Walk of Fame star

LOS ANGELES — Late rock 'n' roll pioneer Roy Orbison has been honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Orbison's widow Barbara accepted the star in front of the Capitol Records building on his behalf on Friday. Orbison died in 1988 at the age of 52, in the midst of a comeback with The Traveling Wilburys, a whimsical supergroup that included Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Patrick Swayze's "Dirty Dancing" co-star Jennifer Grey recalled "being in his arms when we were kids" as Hollywood stars and movie fans alike on Tuesday mourned the actor's death at the age of 57.

Swayze, who continued to work long after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer nearly two years ago, even starring in a new cable TV series "The Beast," succumbed to his illness on Monday at his home, surrounded by family, his publicist said.

The patriarch of the Jackson family wants justice served against whoever contributed to Michael Jackson’s sudden death on June 25 — and hinted ominously that it may be others besides the legendary pop star's doctors who could be liable.

“Someone should pay,” Joe Jackson, 80, told NBC's Jeff Rossen during an exclusive interview that aired Monday on TODAY. “Not just someone, but all of ’em should pay that’s involved.”

Michael Jackson spent some of his final years in Las Vegas and now he'll forever be cemented in the city's legacy.

The King of Pop was posthumously awarded a star on the Palms Casino Resort's Walk of Fame Saturday – which would have been his 51st birthday – while his father, Joe Jackson, and a smattering of fans looked on.

"I wish he was here to see this take place," Joe Jackson said of the son who died June 25. Police have labeled the death a homicide.

The sudden death of Michael Jackson is drawing crowds of tourists and changing the itinerary for celebrity tour operators and museum exhibits in Los Angeles.

Jackson's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, near Grauman's Chinese Theatre, was so overrun by fans today that some tourists couldn't get close enough to see it. At the Holmby Hills home where Jackson lived for several months, so many television crews had gathered that tour buses were temporarily diverted from the street.

An autopsy is being conducted today on mega-pop star Michael Jackson, the Los Angeles County Coroner's office said, but results of toxicology and other tests that will help determine the cause of death will not be known for a week or more.

Jackson, 50, died yesterday in Los Angeles as sensationally as he lived, as famous as a human being can get. He was a child Motown phenomenon who grew into a moonwalking megastar, the self-anointed King of Pop who sold 750 million records over his career and enjoyed worldwide adoration.

Fans and paparazzi converged on Michael Jackson's family homes and UCLA Medical Center on Thursday, blocking streets and blasting the singer's music as they waited for news or a glimpse of the superstar's famous family.

In Hollywood, about 75 fans gathered at what they believed was Jackson's star on the Walk of Fame, only to discover it belonged to the Los Angeles radio personality of the same name. The singer's star was covered by scaffolding for the premiere of "Bruno." So his fans stayed put, covering the surrogate star with flowers and candles and singing the hit by Jackson and Lionel Richie, "We Are the World."

"Wolves are very popular this year," The Dish Rag caught one reporter saying to Hugh Jackman, as she desperately tried to draw a parallel between the werewolves on "Twilight" and his Wolverine character in "X-Men."

Most movie stars would have ripped this poor clueless girl's head off.

Instead, classy Hugh corrects her in such a way that leaves her still wearing some shred of dignity.

LOS ANGELES - Hundreds of George Harrison's biggest fans and best friends, including Paul McCartney and Tom Petty, turned out Tuesday to see a posthumous star for the quiet Beatle unveiled during a raucous celebration on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
