RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS REGARDING
HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME STAR
FOR WHITNEY HOUSTON

HOLLYWOOD, CA—February 13, 2012- The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has received numerous inquiries about Whitney Houston, the great voice who left us too soon. The media and fans have asked us whether Whitney Houston has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Houston was selected in 1995, but a date was never requested by the singer’s representatives for a star-unveiling ceremony. The approved selection expired in 2000, after the five-year allotted time to receive the star once someone has been selected. However, the Walk of Fame Committee would be happy to consider re-instating the status of the star if it is desired by the family.

“It is up to the family and or representatives to connect with the Hollywood Chamber regarding the issue of a star ceremony,” said Ana Martinez, producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “At this time we believe that the family should be left to grieve for their dearly departed. At such time as they are ready, we would be open to discussions about setting a date to immortalize the legendary Whitney Houston with a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.”

Jane's Addiction Brings Alt-Rock Cred To Hollywood's Walk Of Fame

Twenty-four years after their debut album hit stores in 1988, Jane's Addiction is finally confirmed to be joining the likes of The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. The band is due to be inducted some time in 2013, but a date has yet to be announced.

Jane’s Addiction has made their mark on fans with four studio albums and 17 singles, as well as headlining countless tours and festivals, like Coachella and Lollapalooza. VH1 called them one of the 100 Greatest Artists Of Hard Rock, and Rolling Stone put their certified 3x Platinum album "Ritual De Lo Habitual" on their 100 Best Albums Of The Nineties list.

The band tweeted their excitement to receive the Hollywood honor:

"We're incredibly honored to receive a Star on the Walk of Fame! Stay tuned for more exciting news... walkoffame.com/pages/press."

Janis Joplin, the Backstreet Boys and Usher are also scheduled to receive Walk of Fame stars next year.

Jane's Addiction continues their Theater Of The Escapists Tour into September.

Thanks for the report to KROQ.Radio.com.

Los Angeles' alt-rock progenitors Jane's Addiction are set to receive a serious form of hometown credibility: a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The band's ceremony will take place on October 30th, according to Variety, and the group has yet to comment on the honor.

Find Out Where Jane's Addiction 'Ritual de lo Habitual' Landed on Our List of the 100 Best Albums of the Nineties

The band, which has broken up and reunited several times since forming in 1985, most recently released their fourth studio album, The Great Escape Artist , in 2011 and their Live in NYC EP this year. They also put out a new, electronic-tinged song, "Another Soulmate," in August to coincide with a summer tour.

"I thought it'd be interesting to try and write a Beatles-esque short song that would be fast and furious and it would just be fun, dig it and move on, short attention span," frontman Perry Farrell told Rolling Stone about the track. At the time, Farrell also explained his concept for the song's video . "I said [to the directors], 'Think about the dating services, how wacky they are. Let's do a parody of [an] online dating service: quick, simple, inexpensive, hilarious and compelling. . . I think the song needs visual stimulation to go along with it."

The band will play its last concert of the year at the San Manuel Casino in Highland, California, on Thursday.

For those who don't click the link, the "perform in Universal City" at the top of the posting above refers to where the picture that accompanies the story was taken, not an upcoming show.
