It was about time! I couldn't believe she didn't have one already but I'm very happy for her.

The Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony is less to do with an honor now than a tie-in to a movie opening. This is probably to get some publicity for Money Monster. The star (or the studio in this case) pays for the walk of fame.

I think you have to pay for the star, so she was probably waiting for a studio to front the money as part of a promotion. Some celebrities probably pay for it themselves. Kim Kardashian wanted to buy one, but the walk of fame does has some standards - allowing her a spot if she wins an acting award as a reality star.

The studios typically pay for it and it's usually arranged prior to a big film opening for promotion. Foster had been offered that opportunity several times before, but she always turned it down because she says she wanted it to coincide with a project she was directing, and Money Monster is the biggest studio film she's directed, so that's probably why it all came together now.
