Just when you thought Hollywood couldn't get any sillier, it does.

Turns out Cheeta the chimp wants to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Well, not Cheeta exactly, but his handlers do.

Cheeta has appeared in several acting roles such as 1967's Dr. Doolittle and in the Tarzan movies, of course.

This chimp is a legend!

This will be the 7th time his handler's will be trying to get a star for Cheetah. Team Chimp have even launched an online petition to get supporters to urge the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to grant a star for him in 2009.

The petition states that Cheeta's "inclusion on the Hollywood Walk of Fame will not only give recognition to one of the international, animal megastars of all time, but focus attention on his fellow primates in the wilds of Africa who now face extinction."

Well, why not?

Three stars on the Walk of Fame already belong to dogs, such as Lassie.

Why not a monkey????

This is chimp discrimination!!!!!!

Oh, and there's also some fictional characters with their own stars, such as Godzilla, Snow White, Woody Woodpecker, Kermit the Frog, and Mickey Mouse.

Cheeta is real, es!

Ana Martinez-Holler, a spokeswoman for the Chamber of Commerce, said Cheeta's going to be "up against really big celebrities" for next year's nominations.

There's about 200 entertainers to consider each year, with only 24 being chosen.

Cheeta is currently 76 years old and holds the Guinness World Record for the oldest living, non-human primate.

It would be nice if he received one while he's still alive.

Please, if David Hasselhoff has a star, Cheeta definitely deserves one!
