LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Johnny Grant, the avuncular honorary mayor of Hollywood who traveled the world as Tinseltown's No. 1 cheerleader for more than a half-century, has died. He was 84.

Beloved by many, despised by some, but surely a major force in Hollywood, and the creator of the "Walk of Fame".

Hey, I never voted for him.

But now that Grant is dead, I think the honorary title should go to that guy who rollar blades down Hollywood with the purple 'fro and the electric guitar!

Hey, all I know is that Johnny Grant is now jamming with Hendrix.
