Based off the frequently asked questions of the Hollywood Walk of Fame:People can apply, or nominate a person who fits all 6 minimum requirements. It takes $250 to apply. The application is then reviewed by the HWF committee who meet once a year. They receive between 200-300 applications a year + the nominations. An average of 30 applications/nominations are chosen by the committee. The 30 "winners" are then notified and given 2 years to decide if they accept. If they accept, they must then pay $50K for the creation and installation of the star, the ceremony, and the life maintenance of the star.

I wonder how many times has a celebrity applied, or was nominated, before they actually got their Star approved? Is there a celeb who applied 5 times till they finally got it on the 6th? I wanna see some stats
