Any celebrity can get on there. Walk down there and you'll see a few folks you won't have heard of.

You simply have to do the following:

1) File the application to the commitee
2) Promise to attend the unveiling ceremony and throw a party

3) Put up $30,000 as a fee.

Fun fact - one of the committee members is Jimmy Jam.

Prince isn't interested in shit like that. Hell, he could have done this pretty much any time after Purple Rain. But he ain't interested. There's a few stars who aren't. Julia Roberts, George Clooney and Clint Eastwood haven't bothered. 2Pac's star wasn't put there until 2013 (17 years after his death) because for a long time the family just weren't interested in paying the fee. And in the same year, Katy Perry got a star there, despite being only 4/5 years into her career. Cos she was making enough money that $30k was nothing to her, or her label, and it made for good PR.

They like to perpetuate the myth that the stars are "earned" somehow. But that's not the case. As always..... it simply comes down to money.

I don't think so. The fans have made several attempts, but from what I understand prince has to be a willing participant or summin. He's apparenyly never gone along with it.

In my perception, it seems it would feel uncool to prince to have people walking on his name on what is a fairly shady street.

The Walk of Fame categories include Motion Pictures, Television, Radio, Recording and Live Performance/Theatre. The committee will select approximately 12-15 names for insertion into the Walk. When nominating an individual or group, the sponsor must submit a photo, a bio and the nominee’s qualifications as well as a list of contributions to the community and civic-oriented participation. A letter of agreement from the nominee or his/her management must be included with the application.

I hope he never gets on it. Back in the day I use to believe it was really something but now I'm seeing ANYBODY and their mom can get a star. So many stars have them and don't seem deserving imo.

If he was to do it he would do something silly like add a star for prince and neglect Prince completely.

It will coincide with the Purple Rain remaster.

Yet somehow you care so much that you seemingly haven't bothered to read any of the previous topics (I recall this came up repeatedly back on ye olde PPML). Nor, despite apparently being someone who cares about this, have you bothered to look into how one acquires such a star.

Again with this handholding nonsense. "Oh we must help the poor lad by spoonfeeding him whatever he requires." NO. Teach a man to fish etc. The procedure to obtain a star is easily found online, so if you care about Prince not getting one that's the first thing to look up. And then you might be inclined to use the Google box at the top of this page because ghee wiz I wonder if this topic has ever surfaced in the past.

.

But no. Instead we get the laziest possible action: asking a question without bothering to do any research. In a forum that's populated with people who often invent the most ignorant theories based on disproved assumptions.

What made you read his thread in the first place? Do you feel like you need to read every thread so that you get the full value of what you're paying to access this website?

No, that can't be it. You don't pay anything to access this website.

Could it be that you had important information that could answer the question posed by the OP?

No, because you didn't post any information pertaining to the OP.

Could it be that you just wanted to make someone feel bad?

The very concept of prince getting a star never occurred to me in the first place, so I found this topic very illumnating...both the thought of him getting one, and the process required to do it. Do I think he'll ever get one? Nah...all he wants to do is dance, play music, sex, romance.

eek 2Pac has been dead 17 years! I can't believe its been that long.

No. Prince is too arrogant to even allow something like that. Stars on the Walk of Fame is something fans appreciate. We know Prince isn't the sort of guy who gives a flying f**k about what his fans want.

Oh for fuck's sake THAT IS WHY THERE IS A SEARCH.
