What do y'all think about this news?
Did he pay for his spot?
Does this mean he will also receive a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame?

Let's discuss

For all I know celebrities' have to pay for a Star on the Walk of Fame but there is a supposedly anonymous committee who will decide who is allowed to leave their marks in front of the TLC.

But...there have been mock ceremonies for promotional reasons and the imprints of those are relocated after a while,

Let's wait and see!
