AceShowbiz - Bill Cosby's Hollywood Walk of Fame star won't be removed despite widespread demands to do so. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Leron Gubler says in a statement, "The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has received inquiries asking whether we are planning to remove the stars of Donald Trump and Bill Cosby. The answer is no."
"The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a registered historic landmark. Once a star has been added to the Walk, it is considered a part of the historic fabric of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Because of this, we have never removed a star from the Walk," Leron explains. Bill's star has been vandalized repeatedly with the word of "rapist" following his sexual assault scandal.
Following the recent revelation of court records in which Bill admitted to giving drugs to young women for the purpose of sex, a petition titled "Revoke the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Bill Cosby" has popped up on White House's website, pleading to revoke the comedian's Presidential Medal of Freedom.
When asked about the petition, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest tells reporters, "I don't know whether or not it's legally possible to do so."
In other news, Bill's statue in Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park at the resort near Orlando, Florida was removed on Tuesday night, July 7. According to Deadline, the comedian is currently without talent representation in Hollywood as he was dumped by his talent agency CAA long before the court records revelation. According to the agency's insiders, he was dropped by the agency in late 2014. "We do not represent him at this time," a CAA official told the site.
