it’s been a landmark in Hollywood for
generations it continues to draw
millions of people from all over the
world welcome to watchmojo.com down the
five most interesting things that you
probably didn’t know about the Hollywood
Walk of Fame one of the most iconic
attractions of Hollywood and the
entertainment business in general you
deserve all the stars in the sky a
thousand puppies wrapped in bows a
tender hot oil massage in our oh wait
this is getting a little personal number
five the Grammy Awards are result of the
Walk of Fame at first only artists
working in cinema could get a star on
the Walk then someone realized that hey
musicians are famous to the original
requirement for a musical act was that
they needed to have sold 1 million
records or quarter million albums in
order to be eligible but officials soon
discovered that many famous singers
hadn’t attained that goal even though
they really deserved a star so the
bigwigs of the music business were like
that ain’t right and the National
Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences
was formed to create the Grammy Awards
these days the specific criteria to get
a star are under wraps but there’s no
doubt that a Grammy win goes a long way
number 4 getting a star costs $30,000
$30,000 what am i well I look like a
beggar you think that recognition comes
free but someone has to create the
actual star and it’s take home replicas
and someone has to tear up the sidewalk
to install it and someone has to hire
photographers and security for the
ceremony it’s a lot of money and when
that’s all said and done someone has got
to maintain the thing to keep that brass
looking brassy therefore a $30,000
sponsorship fee is required in order to
obtain a coveted star 30
darling the stars themselves don’t often
pay as the fees generally covered by the
movie studio or recording label that
nominates them for admission you’re
gonna pay misquote or Vincent Chase is
going to announce on TMZ that the new
head of the studio calls agencies and
offers up handjobs even fans foot the
bill sometimes like Liza Minnelli’s fans
who raise the money through donations
you ready to show me off before God in
the whole world and by the way before
you go and start saving up for them your
favorite youtubers are not eligible for
a star number three after Michael
Jackson’s death fans honored a radio
host when Michael Jackson died in 2009
fans were understandably devastated so
many of them flocked to the Walk of Fame
and placed candles and flowers on his
star on Vine Street only they got the
wrong Michael Jackson MJ does have a
star but it’s over on Hollywood
Boulevard the star in question belonged
to a talk-show host of the same name who
was a good sport about the mix-up this
wasn’t the first time a mix-up occurred
on the walk to name just a couple Julia
Louie Dreyfus the star was originally
spelled as Julia louis-dreyfus George I
just got off a 23 hour plane ride I’m
too tired to even vomit it thought while
Don haggerty’s name was written as Dan
Haggerty which must have sucked years
later when the actual Dan Haggerty got a
star luckily these have all been
corrected Koff up another 30 grand all
you care about is money
number two contrary to popular belief
there was no first star while you might
typically hear that actress Joanne
Woodward was the very first recipient of
a star this is inaccurate a lot of
things you never see me do before that’s
no sign I don’t do in actuality eight
different stars were created as one
project and each were installed at once
without an official ceremony officials
drew eight random names from over a
thousand nominees and the winner stars
were placed in a temporary location in
order to give interested parties a sense
of how the walk would appear before
officially finding their home in the
cement among the eight were Woodward
olive Borden Ronald Colman Terry
Nieuwendyk Ridge Forrester and Chris
we’d go on but trust us you’ve never
heard of these people in fact two of
those names were fake and one was mine
number one many popular artists have
declined star vacation while that sucks
I can’t do that well you may think that
getting immortalized on the Walk of Fame
is simply a matter of fact for Hollywood
celebs too many of them it’s just not
that appealing since 1968 roughly 40
individuals have declined a star even
though their nominations were approved
in order to receive a star the celebrity
must attend the ceremony and for many of
these performers that just doesn’t
interest them
and so they just never schedule the
event even if I wanted to go Mike
schedule wouldn’t allow it
some of these people include movie stars
like Julia Roberts Clint Eastwood and
George Clooney we can only imagine that
each of these people have their own
reservations and the folks at the Walk
of Fame have made special accommodations
in the past yeah sorry I forgot to
mention it
for instance Muhammad Ali felt that
having his name walked upon would be
disrespectful to him and so his star is
installed in a wall so what do you think
would you pay thirty thousand dollars
for a star on the walk I’ve been told
that I’m between Roseanne Barr and Sally
Field which also describes my career in
a way if i play my cards right for more
landmark top tens and never heard of
them top fives be sure to subscribe to
