The Beatles as well as individual members John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr have received stars on The Hollywood Walk of Fame. Paul McCartney for some reason is the lone exception who has yet to receive a star. Here’s a breakdown of the stars…
John Lennon – star # 1,877 – Ceremony – September 30, 1988
Location – 1750 N. Vine Street
The Beatles – star # ???? – Ceremony – December 25, 1988
Location – 7080 Hollywood Blvd.
George Harrison -star # 2,382 – Ceremony – April 4, 2009
Location – 1750 N. Vine Street
Ringo Starr – star # 2,401 – Ceremony – February 9, 2010

Apparently Paul McCartney’s star has long been approved but he has yet to set a date for his dedication ceremony, though he has been approached about it.. Paul’s “future” star will eventually be located next to his Beatle band mates in front of the Capitol Records building. There’s gotta be more to this story…
UPDATE:
Paul McCartney finally got his star!!!

It would appear to me that Paul is putting himself off to be last this time around. He is waiting until all his Beatles Brothers are honored before he would accept a star for himself.
Paul, I believe, was first nominated in 1991, which is only three years after the Late John was awarded a star. The nomination ‘lapsed’ in 1998 because Paul was not able to schedule personal appearance at the Presentation Ceremony – which I agree, sounds corny, considering Paul has a house in Arizona, and as a matter of fact was able to appear at George’s unveiling ceremony.
DEFINITELY, he is waiting for all his Beatles Brothers to be awarded first, before he would accept a Hollywood star himself.
Does anyone else think The Beatles’ star needs rejuvenating? It is already cracked in more than one places.
Paul had a hissy fit and didn't join the Beatles when the group was inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame. He then figuratively flips the board the bird when finally inducted as a solo artist years later by asking his daughter to come to the stage, who is wearing a "it's about f***ing time!" tshirt.
No, this is one arrogant a**hole. I say no show, no star.
