News just in from Bingenheimer pal Go-Go Giddle Partridge that the extortionate $15,000 (remember when it was $3,000 and that seemed absurd?) the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce demands to lay a new star has been raised, so Rodney will soon be getting his pentangle on the walk of fame. Here's Giddle's email with all the details:

GOOD NEWS!! THIS MORNING ON 106.7KROQ "THE KEVIN AND BEAN" MORNING SHOW, HELD A TWO HOUR "RODNEY-ON-THE-WALK-ATHON"!

A FEW MONTHS AGO SAM NELSON (RICKY NELSON'S OTHER SON, NOT A TWIN), STARTED A CAMPAIGN TO GET 'RODNEY ON THE ROQ' HIS VERY OWN STAR ON THE HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME! SAM STARTED A WEBSITE, WWW.RODNEYONTHEWALK.COM, IN ORDER FOR FANS AND FRIENDS ALIKE TO DONATE THE MUCH NEEDED $15,000, WHICH IS THE COST FOR THE CEREMONY. THE HOLLYWOOD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HAS RECEIVED THE APPLICATION FOR RODNEY'S STAR ALONG WITH LETTERS FROM STARS RANGING FROM CHER TO BECK TO GWEN STEFANI, DEVO, DAVID BOWIE AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.

SO WHEN I PASSED ON THE NEWS OF THIS EXCITING HAPPENING EARLY THIS YEAR ALOT OF YOU SENT IN WHAT YOU COULD AND THANK YOU!!! BUT THE NEED FOR CASH IS NOW OVER THANKS TO THE WALK A THON! ALL 15 GRAND WAS RAISED TODAY! SOME OF RODNEY'S FAMOUS FRIENDS WHO HE HELPED LAUNCH THEIR CAREERS CALLED IN TO THE SHOW AND HELPED WITH RAISING DONATIONS: JOAN JETT, DEBBIE HARRY, JOHN DOE OF X, KATHY VALENTINE, ADRIAN OF NO DOUBT, MEMBERS OF BLUR AND BAD RELIGION ETC...

SO NOW WE WAIT UNTIL RODNEY BINGENHEIMER GET'S HIS GLITTER ROCK STAR ON THE WALK OF FAME!

EARLIER THIS WEEK HE WAS HONORED WITH A LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD FROM THE L.A. WEEKLY! FINALLY HE IS STARTING TO GET THE RESPECT HE DESERVES!!!

LONG LIVE THE MAYOR OF THE SUNSET STRIP!!

LOVE,
GIDDLE PARTRIDGE
