According to the news, hip-hop mogul Diddy will be honored with a star on the legendary Hollywood Walk of Fame. Bad Boy Entertainment CEO Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was taken by surprise, was one of 200 nominations for the prestigious award and was among the 23 finalists selected to be honored with a terrazzo and brass star on Hollywood Boulevard in 2007.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame chronicles the history of the Hollywood entertainment industry and the contributions of various celebrities and icons from the television, motion picture, radio, recording and live performance industries.
That’s just something you dream of, especially being from the East Coast. Being from New York, there’s three things you know about Hollywood. You know about the Hollywood sign, you know about Sunset Strip and Hollywood Boulevard with the stars. [...] The day they give me a star in Hollywood, I’m going to invite everybody from New York out there to see it go down. I definitely think it’s a big thing for Hip-Hop and hopefully they will recognize more Hip-Hop stars.

Ah, correct me if I’m wrong. Isn’t it all a matter of the stars paying a large sum of money for the honour of having their name on the Hollywood Walk of “shame” oops sorry, Fame.
The Walk of Fame is maintained by the self-financing Hollywood Historic Trust. In order for a celebrity to get a star on the Walk of Fame, he or she must agree to attend a presentation ceremony and to pay $15,000 fee to the Hollywood Historic Trust for costs such as security at the star ceremony.
