Oopsies!

Julia Louis-Dreyfus celebrated a major career milestone Monday morning when she unveiled her very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame -- too bad it was misspelled!

David Daniel, an entertainment producer (and blogger) for CNN, noticed the brand-new star hours before the unveiling ceremony. Spelled as "Julia Luis Dreyfus," the sidewalk plaque was missing an "O" and a hyphen.

Daniel alerted two "startled" workmen, and then contacted a press rep for the Walk of Fame about the glaring error, who admitted she "almost puked" about the mistake.

But the Seinfeld actress found the gaffe "hysterical" and wanted the star kept as it was -- but workmen had chiseled out the "Luis" and replaced it with a temporary "Louis" for the unveiling. The star will be permanently repaired soon.

Louis-Dreyfus' parting gift from the incident: the misspelled "Luis."

    It doesn't seem fair to give Julia a star simply because she has giant breasts. Thats why half these actresses get a star anyways.

    What's funny is that now you, Us Weekly, also misspelled Julia's name and the word "our" in your article above (see PHOTOS: Why Julia-Louis Dreyfus made out best-dressed list).

    The proper spelling is "Patrick".

    Love her, she's the daughter of a billionare yet she's so down to earth!

    Julia has a good sense of humour and glad she didn't throw a hissy fit like some prima donna Hollywood types would have done. Laugh it off, makes her star unique in history.

    Jay - have you lived under a rock for the last 10 years or so? Because if you haven't you'd realize that not only is she a funny lady and she's been doing tv and movies long before Seinfeld, but Seinfeld is probably one of the most iconic sitcoms of it's time.

  • May 04, 2010 - 10:57pm she deserves a star

    SHE'S getting a STAR because she deserves one...bottom line. Seinfeld is and always will be the # 1 tv sitcom of all time....she deserves recognition for the work she's done....dont be a hater...its not becoming of you Jay.

    @Beau Hajavitch-HYSTERICAL comment!

  • May 04, 2010 - 10:35pm LOL

    Lets see, it wasn't Gosselin cause it is the Walk Of Fame, now if it were the Walk of Shame I would have said K Gosselin

    well obviously an idiot prepared it

  • May 04, 2010 - 10:18pm Jay

    WHY is SHE even getting a "star"? Because, SHE'S NOT a star. I don't get it. She's a TV actress, and not that big of one, so WHY is she getting a star? Her biggest gig was Seinfeld, and so she's had the "Christine" show for a few years which we don't watch cause it's bad. So, WHY is she getting a "star"?? Oh, SHE'S a BIG STAR! Right. What a joke.

    The funny thing about the type-o is that "Luis" is not even pronounced the same as "Louis". Whoever proofread was either an imbecile or has never watched Seinfeld.

    I love her. She has such a good sense of humor. She has always been very self-deprecating.

  • May 04, 2010 - 8:38pm Jill

    What a role model she is for everyone. How to laugh at things instead of getting upset. Love her.

  • May 04, 2010 - 8:16pm says

    that is obviously a problem

  • May 04, 2010 - 8:10pm Beau Hajavitch

    Her name suffered from "shrinkage." With those mistakes, that plaque right now is hardly "spongeworthy."

  • May 04, 2010 - 8:02pm Jen

    I love The New Adventures of the Old Christine! Its one of the funniest shows on and sooo much better than all that reality show bs.

  • May 04, 2010 - 7:45pm Elaine

    Her new show is stupid.....Seinfeld stars not doing so good after the series
