Kim Kardashian 'Doesn't Qualify' for Hollywood Walk of Fame, Says Spokeswoman
Kim Kardashian will not be getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Us Weekly reported Wednesday.
Ana Martinez, a spokeswoman for the Walk and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, explained why Kardashian would not be immortalized. The 32-year-old reality TV star has reportedly expressed interest in the honor. However, it will not come to pass.
We don't have reality stars on the Walk of Fame," she told Yahoo's omg! "We don't have a category for it. We're happy to consider reality stars once they get nominated for, or win, an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar." Martinez added, "We'll consider them when they're legitimate actors or singers."
Martinez also said that Kardashian simply did not have the support to be considered.
"I hate to say it, but a lot of people just don't like her," Martinez said of the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star. "No one has ever nominated her."
On Oct. 9, Kayne West appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live. He made a pitch for his girlfriend and mother of his child to be recognized in this matter. He felt that the process involved was outdated and needed to be changed.
"I want to shout out to the stars on the Walk of Fame because they said something about they're not going to put my girl on the Walk of Fame because she's a reality star," he said. "People are so so dated and not modern. There's no way Kim Kardashian shouldn't have a star on the Walk of Fame."
