Those in the reality TV business might be feeling a little downhearted at the news that the most famous Kardashian has been denied a star on the famous landmark as she doesn't have actual acting chops.

A representative for the Hollywood Chamber Of Commerce, who oversee the Walk Of Fame, said: 'Part of the criteria in being honoured is receiving awards such as Emmys, SAG Awards, Oscars, etc. in the category of television, live-stage performance or motion pictures.

'They have to have a career in the business of acting for five years or more,' they told The Hollywood Reporter.

While some would argue that the latter point puts Kim firmly in the running for a star, the honour is still reserved for talented stars such as Avengers Assemble star Scarlett Johanssen, former member of The Beatles Sir Paul McCartney, legendary popstar Michael Jackson and guitarist Slash.

The latest celebs to become Walk-Of-Famers are actor John Cusack and TV personality Ellen DeGeneres.

The Hollywood Reporter states that Kim, who is dating rapper Kanye West, had previously hoped she would be the first reality TV star to be awarded a spot on the Walk Of Fame.

'There was a quote where somebody said that reality stars will never get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,' she said. 'I'm so competitive that I think that it would be a huge achievement and a goal that anyone would want. I would love to break that mould.'
