Not sure where you picked this info up Rob...but this report is from 2
years ago. J Lo got her star a couple of months ago. Oonce the honorees are selected, they have 5 years to come up with the funding [[$30,000 now). We celebrated The Funk Brothers walk Of Fame ceremony this past March, although we submitted the nomination 5 years ago...It took that long to raise funds and schedule the ceremony.

Vin Diesel? Why?

Vin Diesel? Why?

Many times these inductions coincide with the release of a new project. I think Vin has a film coming out soon. I was even more surprised to see that Jennifer Hudson is also getting a star this year. Her film WINNIE is being released this month.

I hate to sound rude, but IMO, too many performers are receiving this honor way before their time. It almost cheapens it somewhat. People like Smokey, Diana, Gladys, etc. were in the business for close to 20 years, if not longer, before they were recognized.
