Middle Age Hollywood

It wasn't the way Hugh Grant knelt down for her in Sense and Sensibility, but Hugh Laurie got on his knees for Emma Thompson all the same.

Laurie, Thompson's longtime pal, colleague and ex-boyfriend from her Cambridge days was on hand to celebrate the Oscar-winning actress and screenwriter's career Friday as she was presented with the 2,416th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

"Everything she did just oozed talent," Laurie recalled. "She said talented things, she wore talented clothes, she rode a talented bicycle, she made talented spaghetti. She is a truly remarkable person, a very good friend, and I could not be prouder."

Also spooned into the celebration, thanks to studio public relations, was Maggie Gyllenhaal, Thompson's costar in the upcoming Nanny McPhee Returns.
