Not only will Steve Guttenberg finally be given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday after years of oversights and outright snubbery, but the news is accompanied by what has to be one of the most fawning articles about Steve Guttenberg ever written by anyone outside of Steve Guttenberg’s family. Some highlights:

Steve Guttenberg, star of four movie franchises — namely “Police Academy,” “Three Men And A Baby,” “Short Circuit” and “Cocoon” — will receive the 2,455 star on the Hollywood Walk of  Fame Monday….

Considered one of Hollywood’s most enduring and endearing actors, Guttenberg has also starred in more than fifty movies, including “Diner,” “The Boys From Brazil” and “Bedroom Window.”…

Off-camera, Guttenberg is also known for his philanthropy and good works. He spent a week at the Houston Astrodome volunteering after Hurricane Katrina. He also started the Guttenhouse Project which houses at-risk foster care youth when they turn 18 and presumably have no place else to turn.

A) The Guttenhouse! B) Good for the Goot. He earned it, what with his work in the popular Cocoon franchise.

And even better: You know who’s speaking on Guttenberg’s behalf at the ceremony? Oh that’s right, it’s Jon Lovitz.
