Did I miss something... someone just sent me this.

Also, I thought everyone knew you had to pay for your star. 🤔

Quote"Brandy and Toni Braxton reportedly backed out of receiving stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame after discovering they'd have to pay a large lump sum to have the stars placed, and fans are calling it a slap in the face.

"Both women are legendary R&B powerhouses with over 30 years in the music industry, countless hits, and undeniable cultural impact, so the idea of having to pay for an "honor" meant to recognize their contributions has people side-eyeing the system.

"It raises a bigger conversation about how Black excellence is acknowledged in Hollywood and whether true recognition should come with a price tag, especially for artists who have already given so much to the culture."

Facebook is full of aunties, AI and misinformation. However, it made me wonder what happened to the ceremony.  :shannonsmissing: Is it happening this year?

Purchasing has always been the way to get them. That's nothing new. That's why some folks have them before ACTUAL important figures, like Bran. She was just behind.
