Grace Kelly. Nicole Kidman. Kim Kardashian? While the reality star isnt likely to snag a Best Actress statuette anytime soon, someday she might have something else in common with those ladies: a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. At least, if Kim gets her way.
I think there was a quote where somebody said that reality stars will never get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Kanye Wests current flame toldV Magazine in a voice that, according to writer Patrik Sandberg, sounds like that of a Disney princess or a phone-sex operator. Kardashian kontinued, So, of course Im so competitive that I think that it would be a huge achievement and a goal that anyone would want. I would love to break that mold.
Its not entirely true that there are no reality stars on the Walk of Fame; both Paula Abdul and Ryan Seacrest have plaques. But neither was recognized for their work on American Idol; instead, Abdul got a star in the recording category, while Seacrests is for his work in radio. As the Walk of Fames vice president for media relations told EW last year, Reality stars are not on our radar for Walk of Fame honors [but] what our Walk of Fame-rs do after they are honored with stars is totally up to them. That means a star recipient can go on to do reality but a reality star wont get recognized simply for appearing on a reality show.
Kardashian, to her credit, is trying to find scripted screen work shes set to appear as a coworker of the title character in Tyler Perrys The Marriage Counselor. (And yes, she knows what joke youre about to make: In real life, Im definitely not a marriage counselor. I shouldnt be giving marriage advice to anyone! It was pretty ironic, especially at the time that I was filming it, but it was therapeutic, she told V.) Still, itll take a long time for Hollywood to see her as a true celebrity with true talent if that day ever comes at all.
Do you think Kim should be immortalized alongside the entertainment industrys most beloved names? Let us know in the poll below.
