John Legend isn't in the same league of fame or cultural importance as the other two but he's got the money to afford a star so why not?

^ Its meaningless now, similiar to the grammys and RHOF.

It depends on the artist. I watched this doco on Netflix about Adam West from the Batman tv show from the 60s and it meant alot to him......and it took a while for him to get it, and he had a pretty impressive resume of film and tv credits. I am surprised that alot of celebs haven't got their stars eg Madonna, that's right where is her star???????

This is why I say its meaningless anytime John Legend gets a star before Madonna? Its quite evident it has no merit or value.

It sucks, Madonna should get her star (Doris Day has 2 of them!) and Janet should be inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of fame.....there I said it!

The star is not an award that is voted for. Any celeb can get one as long as someone pays the fee. Kermit The Frog, Snoopy, & Big Bird have stars. Donald Trump has one too. A fan club can request a star for the person they want and/or pay the fee. The celeb has to accept the star and also show up, they can turn it down.

Agreed.

I totally agree. Winning a Grammy in 2016 is just like the Warriors 73-9 season:

It doesn't mean a damn thing.

Exactly.A celebrity doesn't "win" a star.Their fan club,their record company,their management,etc must simply pay a fee and they will get a star.Any big name celebrity who doesn't have a star....it just means that they don't really want one.
