The Hollywood Walk of Fame is one of the most recognizable tourist attractions in Hollywood, California. The historic landmark has over 2,700 five-pointed terrazzo and brass stars along 15 blocks of Hollywood Boulevard, and three blocks of Vine Street in Hollywood, not even one of them belong to a Kardashian.
Welcoming an estimated 10 million annual visitors, having your name embedded in the sidewalks of the famous attractions sounds like something every famous person would want; however, not all qualify for one. Although Kim Kardashian and her family are the most popular reality tv stars, their achievements in the entertainment industry are thanks to their personalities and not for playing a character. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce only allows stars with names that belong to actors, directors, producers, musicians, theatrical/musical groups, and fictional characters.
So unfortunately for Kim, just being famous and a billionaire is not enough to immortalize her name in the emblematic area. “Part of the criteria in being honored is receiving awards such as Emmys, SAG Awards, Oscars, etc., in the category of television, live stage performance, or motion pictures. They have to have a career in the business of acting for five years or more,” said a representative from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.
