    Lol. I see they’re running out of real legends. Too bad Prince didn’t want a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

  2. Meteorite June 29, 2016

    I question a vast majority of the people on this list. So many legends who have yet to get a Star, whom have been active for over 30+ years!

  3. Coolness June 29, 2016

    Yes to the Legend of John. He’s been slaying these past two years; garnered his first #1 single with ‘All Of Me’ which is THE wedding song of this decade, picked up additional Grammys, a Golden Globe, an Oscar and now, a star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame. Congrats to Tyra too – a true mogul in every sense of the word. was watching old clips of her show on Youtube and I really miss when it was on the air.

    Chile I can’t with the messy choices

  5. Ciah’s Turtle June 29, 2016

    I mean.. honestly, the Hollywood walk is not about being a Legend. clearly from the choices

  6. JOHNVIDAL June 29, 2016

    Well, nothing we didn´t know. This is absolutely irrelevant. Every pucking body gets a star in the Walk of Fame. It´s kind of nice to see it when someone legendary egts one and attends the ceremony. But apart from that it is a joke.

    I really like John Legend, however he debuted around 11 years ago, but they waited 25 years to give Mariah Carey a star and she is one of the top musical artist of all time. Congratulations John Legend, but I don’t get it, especially when they’re so many legends who have yet to receive one.

      Another thing, Tyra Banks is one of the top Super Models of our time and not just African American. I would prefer if she received a star for that, instead of a reality show.
