I hadn’t heard of Blood Rage and love that instead of thinking “oh wow I learned a fun fact” I was like “um no that’s wrong.” :lol: Apologies, Ryan Reynolds.

Just so well deserved, I didn’t realise they didn’t have a star already, just assumed they did.

I was looking forward to seeing the stream but the 2pm meeting I have on Thursdays that usually lasts for 20min max, ended up lasting for its scheduled hour. 
But, I’m loving all the photos I’ve been seeing of the event.

I totally forgot about this but I'm all caught up now :lol: I thought I heard Ryan mention Sernea at some point, so I thought she was there, but just not speaking? But it's cool to see Rob Cavallo give a speech. And it's so good to see Mike Pinefeld. That dude has been through a lot, and it seems like he's recovering well. I think he was the perfect fit to host the event. The boys looked great (as always). Billie's hair was mega floof! I made a comment about it to my bf and he said "you've got a thing for the floofy headed boys, don't you?" (He himself is a floofy headed boy so..... :lol:). I was upset the stream cut off just as Kevin got up there with the band :mad: But I was still scoping him out in the crowd.

It was nice to see, but I have to be honest, ever since I learned that people just pay to get stars it's taken away some of the magic for me. Thanks for ruining it for me, Scott Cramer.

They do have to pay for them but I still think there’s a selection process right? I mean I don’t think just anyone can buy a star. 

It sounded like Serena wasn’t there. She was announced as a speaker and Rob said he was taking her place so I think it would have been odd if she was there but refused to speak for some reason

Missed it too, because we had tickets for a Donots show yesterday evening (my favorite band right after GD). And it was worth it, well sometimes you can’t have everything…🫠 But I‘ve seen lots of nice photos of the ceremony by now and will watch the whole thing later when I‘m home again!

This is just 🥺🩷 I'm so happy for them and I love Billie Joe's IG post. 

Will definitely have to go to LA to see the star in real life. Will be after Trump is out of office though but still. 🤭

This isn’t exactly true. Celebrities don’t just “buy a star” when they want one. They need to be nominated and, if selected, there is a cost required in order to make and maintain the star as well as safely hold the ceremony and invite fans for free — this is usually sponsored by a studio, record label, etc. It makes sense you have to pay for it since it’s a chamber of commerce-run initiative — they’re not going to foot the bill themselves to do this for wealthy celebrities.

But it’s a nomination and selection-based process, and only people who are deemed worthy based on a bunch of factors get one. So it’s definitely earned, not bought. Here’s an article about the process — says they get 200-300 nominations every year:  https://variety.com/2020/film/news/hollywood-walk-of-fame-cant-buy-star-1234758589/
