ConDRAGulations! RuPaul to Get His Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!

By James St. James on June 22, 2017 4:04 pm

What a year! The Emmy, the MTV award, the cover of Entertainment Weekly, DragCon, DragCon NYC, THREE albums, the move to VH1, RDR‘s highest ratings EVER, guest spots on Broad City and Girl Boss, AND he married his long-time love Georges! Now comes word that RuPaul is getting his long-overdue star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! CONDRAGULATIONS, GURL!

Ru was announced today along with a slew of other stars including Kirsten Dunst, Gina Lollobrigida, Linda Carter, Simon Cowell, Ryan Murphy, Taraji P Henson, Petula Clark, Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols, Weird Al Yankovic, Minnie Mouse, Niecy Nash, Mary J Blige, my husband Lin-Manuel Miranda, and posthumous stars to Steve Irwin and Bernie Mac. 

Says the press release:

“The Walk of Fame Selection Committee is pleased to announce our newest honorees to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Committee looked carefully at each nominee and we feel that we have selected an eclectic group of talent that will appeal to the tastes of many fans around the world,” said Television Producer and Walk of Famer Vin Di Bona. “As a Walk of Famer myself, I know these honorees will remember the dedication of their stars with great memories and will be proud that they are part of Hollywood’s history now and forever. We look forward to their big day as the Walk of Fame Class of 2018 becomes cemented one by one on the most famous sidewalk in the world!”

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and its Walk of Fame Selection Committee congratulate all the honorees. Dates have not been scheduled for these star ceremonies. Recipients have two years to schedule star ceremonies from the date of selection before they expire. Upcoming star ceremonies are normally announced ten days prior to dedication on the official website.

The Hollywood Walk of Fame is an internationally-recognized Hollywood icon. With approximately 30 star ceremonies annually broadcast around the world, the constant reinforcement provided to the public has made the Walk of Fame a top visitor attraction. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce continues to add stars to the Walk of Fame as the representative of the City of Los Angeles. The Walk of Fame is a tribute to all of those who worked diligently to develop the concept and to maintain this world-class tourist attraction. The Walk of Fame is open to the public. No paid admission or assigned seating at star ceremonies.It is understood that the cost of installing a star on the Walk of Fame upon approval is $40,000 and the sponsor of the nominee accepts the responsibility for arranging for payment to the Hollywood Historic Trust, a 501(c)3 charitable foundation. The funds are used to pay for the creation/installation of the star and ceremony, as well as maintenance of the Walk of Fame.

Stay tuned for the date and time! You HAVE to make the pilgrimage to be there for the induction ceremony!
