which COREY will get their "star" on the Hollywood Walk of Fame?



This image brought to mind - which Corey, if any, will get their name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame?

I mean, if Lassie can get her name there, then even a Haim or a Feldman can, too. But who will get it first?

Being that Corey Feldman is still alive (as a person, not so much as an A-list actor), he may turn things around and re-start a career by making better choices and being less of a douchebag. Corey Haim just has to go by what's already out there.

Whichever one wants to pay the $15,000 for the star first.

Not until Wendell Corey finally gets his star on the Walk of Fame.

(Great Noir actor, often a bad guy. Look him up.)

Neither one of them deserve one either.

Yep, and seeing as Haim's mom was accepting donations for his funeral expenses, I doubt she'll be in any position to make it so.

Why is star in quotes? Fear that we might think you meant a celestial body?

Like one has to be some outstanding actor to get a "star".

Godzilla has a "star", and he isn't even real. One can't deny his impact on pop culture and cinema, sure, but all that required was beating up someone else in a rubber suit.

Judge Judy and Bob Barker have stars! That's just the beginning. Now, both are known, but are they really the "die all end" of greatest actors of all time?

Corey Haim was critically praised in Lucas and lacks one by falling into teen idol...

So yeah, the whole star thing is more about popularity than anything. Doesn't really hold much water anymore.

Neither, and neither one deserves it.

1) Not just actors get Stars. Writers, Directors, TV personalities, Musicians, Comedians, Dancers, etc. all have Stars.

2) A star is in no way indicative of being the "greatest" at anything, because...

3) ... THEY ARE NEITHER GIVEN AWAY NOR AWARDED. They are BOUGHT BY THE PEOPLE RECEIVING THEM. If you have $15k and you're in the business, you can buy one yourself.

I fail to see why people think so highly of these idiotic self-serving (and self-purchased) monuments.

John Stamos and George Lopez have stars too.

Not completely true:

In order for a person to get a star on the Walk of Fame, he or she must agree to attend a presentation ceremony within five years of selection, and a fee (currently $25,000, up from $15,000) must be paid to the Trust; some of it ($5,000 of $15,000 in December 2003) is set aside for maintenance and repair, with the rest going towards the installation, security, publicity, and staging costs.

The fee is often paid by sponsors such as film studios and record companies, as part of the publicity for a release with which the honoree is involved; as Johnny Grant pointed out in 2006: "These studios, when they want a star and they've got a picture opening, they'd give you $100,000". On other occasions, the fee is paid by a fan club.

I guess it won't be Corey Haim.

Never knew about the price involved with this. But to answer the question-neither.

I like them both, but I hope for Haim out of the two. You can't go wrong with Silver Bullet and Lucas.

I always liked Haim as an actor, and he was a cool but bizarre guy in real life, but I still don't think he necessarily deserves one. Don't celebs just buy them now anyway?

Re: which COREY will get their "star" on the Hollywood Walk of Fame?

To answer all your questions or comments here;

Joe Raffa and Harrison Smith (writers/producers) of forthcoming movie six Degrees of Hell, starring Corey Feldman agreed to back this campaign to get Corey Haim a posthumous Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Six Degrees of Hell tweet regularly about the campaign to their followers, wrote an extremely touching and passionate blog and are working on plans for helping bring this to fruition.

– The guys at Six Degrees of hell are working hard on this campaign including:
-They are in contact with the Haim Family who are assisting them in all ways possible
-Six Degrees have already arranged the official signatory for the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce application forms and are in contact with the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. They are working on letters of influence and other stuff needed to support this application. There is a post-humous 5-yr ruling, as we all know, but Six Degrees are working on this. Who knows, maybe something can be done about this – we shall have to wait and see.
– They have events planned, where they will gather support from industry folk, including a Benefit Screening of Six Degrees of Hell in honour of Haim later this year
-Six Degs are working with various close friends of Corey and all are actively supporting the efforts being made.
-We are all busy ‘hitting up’ twitter accounts, FB pages, Website contact forms etc. We have had responses from a couple of ‘bigger players’ and felt that the follow-up was better from Six Degrees to ensure a professional approach but as and when there are updates on these they will of course be shared widely.
– Liketotally80s.com published an article we submitted to them
– Very importantly, Corey Feldman, Judy and Cari Haim are all aware of all of our efforts and are 100% on board with this project. I know some think Corey F has been pretty quiet on this, but when the time is right you will all hear him!
