I don't know if this has been answered before, so I apologize if it has. However, can anyone tell me if Prince has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? I viewed the site for star locations on the boulevard and his name was not listed. Thanks.

NO! THEY SUCK!

not yet....when he gets old he will

Thanks guys. That thing is crazy. Ben Stiller and Queen Latifah are getting stars but Prince and Clint Eastwood don't have them? I used to think that walk was for bonafide stars - my bad!

Why doesn't Somebody in Hollywood Pay for it already and Pull some Strings? isn't he WORTHY? What's the PROBLEM? Give him his DUE ACCOLADES. It's a KICK in his ASS to NOT ACKNOWLEDGE his HUGE CONTRIBUTION In MUSIC and SOCIETY. He has CONTRIBUTED so MUCH to OUR GENERATIONS MUSIC.... WHAT IS THE PROBLEM??? Why Doesn't His RECORD COMPANY or some BIG ACTOR or SOMETHING GET him the STAR and EASTWOOD TOO! COME ON LET'S GO!!!!!....

LOL!!! I hear you Zelaira. It's nonsense. Well at least we all know what REAL talent is and how immense his contribution to music and popular culture has been. Even P. Diddy (of whom I am not a fan) makes a reference to listening to Prince in the 20,000th "new" Biggie song.

The question has been asked before.

The 'Hollywood Walk Of Fame' is for those people who have paid a fee to have a star.
.

i think it's cool he don't have one
goes to show he still has that rebel in 'im

hey...if he got into THE ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME, he can get a star on THE
HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME,

Prince really deserves a star now while he's still young enough to enjoy the admiration that his fans have 4 him. I wonder if he really knows how much he is adored and loved ?

for the last time, Hollywood does not give you a star on the walk of fame, the artist has to buy one, a star is something u dont have to earn.

Prince doesn't need a star on the walk of fame. They gave fucking Ryan Seacrest a star on the walk of fame. Once they did that, any value one of those had was immediately erased.

Ryan Seacrest!?

Think about that, and then ask yourself just how important it is to you that Prince gets one, too.

LOL!!!! GREAT POINT!!!! LOL!!

TheBigBang said:

-and Britney Spears got one!!

TheBigBang said:

Dear, when Britney got a star, I knew that they would give a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to my dog (if I had one).

langebleu said:

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't know that. Well now it makes sense that some truly talented people do not have one. They don't need it to validate their talent.

Prince's doesn't need a star on the hollywood walk of fame because he already thinks people walk on him.

I beat you too it, my dog got one years ago.

I believe a lot of fans of artists have paid for them as well. I remember reading some article about that a while back.

dealodelandron said:

Yeah, I read that the fans have to get together and raise money to pay for it. It cost $15,000

beret1022 said:

yup..and prince fans could do the same..but then would prince agree to show up? and show appreciation for the efforts his fans put in?

i think in the cases where fans actually coordinate the efforts then the star is truly deserved.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce administers the Hollywood Walk of Fame, convening a highly secretive and mysterious Walk of Fame committee every year. The organization receives several hundred nominations at the end of May, from which it selects an "undetermined number."

To receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, candidates must meet three criteria:

Professional achievement
Longevity of five years in the field of entertainment
Contributions to the community
Honorees generally receive stars for achievements in one of five categories: motion picture, live theater, radio, television, or music. Only one person has stars in all five categories -- the singing cowboy himself, Gene Autry.
Fame comes with a price, however. In order to receive a star, the celebrity must pay a sponsorship fee of $15,000. Part of this covers security costs. Usually a movie studio picks up the tab as part of a carefully orchestrated publicity campaign for an upcoming film.

Back in the days of the NPG Magazine, they actually suggested once that readers do something to support Prince getting a star on the Walk of Fame.

Haven't heard anything about it since, so I assume it's not a priority for him.

Screw it, let's do it. Are any of the moderators here in LA so that we can work together getting a fund set up to donate to? He does deserve one and so do the fans. Don't worry about questionable stars who have one, that doesn't diminish his star. People walk by stars to get to the ones they want to admire all the time.

You all can just send your money to me and I'll start the fund.
