This is not the "star" ceremony, y'all. These are the hand and footprints. The star is a tile in the pavement with just the artist's name in print. You probably have to buy both. I know it's between 14 and 25 thousand for the star, so this is probably a lot more expensive. Plus somebody has to request it. Usually it's a fanclub or a PR firm on behalf of the studio that produced the particular artist's last effort, to boost that last product.
Sometimes it most likely is the star or his/her PR people to boost a sagging career.
