What Happened to the Hollywood Walk of Fame???? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ireneparalegal · 08-31-2005, 12:49 PM

I live abt an hour from Hollywood and have seen the Walk of Fame many times. But I have become so disenchanted with it when things like Chris Farley recently getting a star!!!!! For what??? Being an over-grown, out of shape druggie!!!???? Okay, he did comedy, but so have alot of legit comedians out there. To be honest with you, it is true you can buy a star on the walk. Yes one must be nominated, but the person getting the star, or the fan clubs MUST PAY THE FEE! I remember at one time it was abt $3000 . Chump change to celebrities. If a star doesn't want to pay the fee or no one else wants to pay the fee, then no star is issued. If a celebrity is dead, like in the case of Chris Farley, either the family, the fan club or whoever wants to see the star on the fame needs to pay the fee. I mentioned this thread due to a poster mentioning the walk of fame on the thread "ungrateful actors/actresses". It used to be that legit performers received a star, nowadays, ANYONE is getting it.

The Walk of Fame lost its credibility after Ryan Seacrest got a star.

Ireneparalegal · 08-31-2005, 12:54 PM

Irene I couldn't agree with you more. Oh and the fee is not $15,000. Its become a joke.

Ryan Seacrest got his star for RADIO, NOT American Idol. Im very proud of my Seacrest

Over grown, out of shape druggie? What a nice thing to say. Chris Farley happened to be an awesome guy and I doubt you know **** about him.

x2. Chris Farley was hilarious. He supplied me with my location.

Chris Farley was like a genius comedian. He was so much like John Belushi and unfortunately just like him his life ended too soon. He came from the same state where I live. He's from Madison, Wisconsin (I live in Milwaukee though). I think it's cool he got a Star. As for Ryan Seacrest- eh, I'm not so surre about that!

Mijada · 08-31-2005, 04:17 PM

They gave Lassie a star. She had more talent than some of the others imo.

Superstar · 08-31-2005, 04:36 PM

Britney has one? Aww, man.

Some of the recent additions do deserve it like Drew Barrymore, who I really like and.....I can't think of any others
