ABOUT OUR HONOREE

“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome Angélique Kidjo to the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” stated Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame producer. “Angélique Kidjo’s extraordinary artistry and global influence have inspired audiences across generations and continents. We are proud to honor her as the first African artist to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, recognizing her remarkable contributions to music and culture around the world.” — Ana Martinez, Producer, Hollywood Walk of Fame

 

Angélique Kidjo is one of the most influential and acclaimed artists in international music, a creative force whose four-decade career has bridged cultures, generations, and genres. With eighteen albums to her name, Kidjo was named one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in the world. The BBC included her among the African continent’s 50 most iconic figures, while The Guardian recognized her as one of the 100 most inspiring women in the world. Forbes has also recognized Kidjo as the most influential woman in Africa. Her many international honors include the 2015 Crystal Award from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland; the 2016 Amnesty International Ambassador of Conscience Award; the 2018 German Sustainability Award; the 2023 Vilcek Prize in Music; and the 2023 Polar Music Prize.

 

As a performer, Kidjo’s commanding voice, electrifying stage presence, and fluency across cultures and languages have earned the respect of her peers and built a global following. Throughout her career, she has brought the West African traditions of her childhood in Benin into conversation with American R&B, funk, jazz, and gospel, as well as music from Europe, Latin America, and across the African diaspora.

 

After exploring the musical roads of Africa’s diaspora, reimagining Talking Heads’ landmark album Remain in Light, paying tribute to iconic salsa singer Celia Cruz, and collaborating with generations of artists, Kidjo continues her expansive creative journey on her latest album, HOPE!! The 18th album in her widely acclaimed discography features Pharrell Williams, Quavo, Ayra Starr, Davido, Nile Rodgers, Charlie Wilson, IZA, PJ Morton, and more. A music video for album standout “Bando,” featuring Pharrell Williams and Quavo, is also forthcoming. The project affirms Kidjo as a truly essential artist, one whose unbridled joy serves as a unifying force.

 

“I started singing when I was six years old, and I’m grateful every day that I still get to live my passion and do what I love with my life,” says Kidjo, who hails from the West African nation of Benin. “With this album I wanted to put some fire back in people’s hearts and show how much we need that joy and hope to keep our humanity going.”

 

Dedicated to Kidjo’s late mother, HOPE!! emerged from a period shaped by grief and renewal. “My mother used to tell me that hope is the bedrock of our existence,” says Kidjo. As the latest offering in a catalog that’s continually shown the transformative power of music, HOPE!! solidifies Kidjo’s legacy as a visionary artist whose sense of purpose has only grown stronger over time.

 

Kidjo also travels the world advocating on behalf of children as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF. At the 2019 G7 Summit, French President Emmanuel Macron named her a spokesperson for the AFAWA initiative, or Affirmative Finance Action for Women in Africa, which works to help close the financing gap for women entrepreneurs across the continent. Kidjo also founded the Batonga Foundation, which has built a powerful, locally led movement advancing the education, leadership, and economic empowerment of girls and young women across Benin and Senegal, transforming lives, strengthening communities, and redefining what is possible for the next generation.

Orel Hershiser was honored with the 2,853rd star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on August 13th at 11:30 am PT at 6755 Hollywood Boulevard. Hershiser received his star in the category of Sports Entertainment. Joining emcee Bob Costas were Clayton Kershaw, Joe Davis, Dave Roberts and Walk of Famer Jaime Jarrin.

ABOUT OUR HONOREE

“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome Dodger Orel Hershiser to the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” stated Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame producer. “It seems only fitting that Orel’s star will shine at 6755 Hollywood Boulevard. The ‘55’ honors the jersey number that became synonymous with one of the greatest Dodgers of all time, while the ‘67’ is a number that carries its own legendary story.

Hershiser holds the Major League Baseball Record for consecutive scoreless innings pitched at 59; A record that has stayed in the Dodger Family Since Don Drysdale had it (58 2/3 Innings) since 1968.

Some will remember that he pitched 8 additional scoreless innings in the 1988 National League Championship Series against a Mets Team that was considered one of the most prolific offenses in the 80’s. Hence, 67. 6755 Hollywood Blvd!” added Martinez.

In 2014, the iconic Vin Scully was nearing the final years of his legendary broadcasting career. At the same time, the Los Angeles Dodgers launched SportsNet LA—a television industry game-changing 24/7 team-dedicated channel. One iconic name was circled to meet at this convergence, a name that would give the audience comfort in Scully’s transitionary years and concurrently help give a fledgling network credibility: Orel Hershiser.

Hershiser established himself during a 13-year playing career with the Dodgers as one of baseball’s greatest players—a record-breaking, award-winning ace. In 1988, Hershiser became the star of one of baseball’s all-time great true Hollywood stories. The dominantly right-handed pitcher helped lift an underdog Dodger team to a World Series championship against the mighty Oakland A’s, in one of the most dramatic victories in the Fall Classic’s history.

Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer Bob Costas, broadcasting for NBC, called the Dodgers one of the worst lineups in World Series history. But the Dodgers had the game’s best pitcher. Hershiser, in 1988, became a transcendent figure—the Cy Young Award winner, National League Championship and World Series MVP, and Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year. Hershiser was now one of the most recognizable athletes in the country.

After his Major League career ended in 2000, he parlayed his credibility, face and name recognition, and likeability into a broadcasting career that has now spanned two decades. Hershiser is an Emmy Award-winning and multi-time Southern California Sports Broadcasters Association award-winning broadcaster and baseball analyst.

Hershiser has called games of the dreamers, the Major League hopefuls, and Major Leaguers. Throughout the first decade of this century, he was the color analyst for ABC/ESPN’s coverage of the Little League World Series. From 2007-2013, ABC/ESPN called on Hershiser to be their trusted voice for the NCAA College World Series. From 2010 to 2013, Hershiser broadcasted baseball’s game of the week for ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball. Next, he helped launch a network for the Dodgers with SportsNet LA, where he and play-by-play prodigy Joe Davis have formed one of the sport’s most entertaining and knowledgeable duos.

This champion, during his incredible sports and broadcasting career, has championed numerous causes. For nearly two decades, he has supported cystic fibrosis charities. Hershiser has led his own faith-based nonprofit (The Hershiser Family Foundation), led on pet adoption initiatives, and has often been front-facing for Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation fundraising efforts and active in supporting Dodgers community relations programming. Additionally, he is a published author, having co-authored or authored two books: Out of the Blue and Between the Lines: Nine Things Baseball Taught Me About Life.

For all he has done—including an illustrious broadcasting career to go along with a remarkable playing career—he became the seventh inductee in 2023 into the Legends of Dodger Baseball, one of the organization’s greatest honors. Orel Hershiser has been one of the most beloved and well-rounded stars in the city of stars. He is a star worthy of one other honor—Hollywood immortality.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce administers the legendary Walk of Fame for the City of Los Angeles and has proudly hosted the globally iconic star ceremonies for decades. Millions of people from here and around the world have visited this cultural landmark since 1960.

 

ABOUT OUR HONOREE

 

Hip-hop group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony was formed in Cleveland, Ohio in 1991. The group consists of Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone, Bizzy Bone, Wish Bone, and Flesh-n-Bone. They became famous for their unique blend of rapid-fire rap delivery, melodic harmonies, and emotional storytelling.

“Receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a blessing beyond words. Coming from Cleveland, we never imagined that the music we created would touch so many lives around the world. This honor belongs not only to Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, but to our families, our city, our fans, and everyone who believed in us from the beginning. More than three decades later, we’re still here, still creating, and still carrying the legacy forward. We thank the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce for this incredible recognition and dedicate this star to the generations who continue to keep our music alive.”

The group originally performed under the name B.O.N.E. Enterpri$e before being discovered by legendary rapper Eazy-E. Impressed by their style, Eazy-E signed them to Ruthless Records in 1993 and helped launch their national career.

Their breakthrough came with the 1994 EP Creepin on ah Come Up, featuring hits such as “Thuggish Ruggish Bone” and “Foe tha Love of $.” The project introduced audiences to their fast-paced flows and harmonized vocals.

In 1995, Bone Thugs released E. 1999 Eternal, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and produced the classic singles “Tha Crossroads,” “1st of tha Month,” and “East 1999.”

“Tha Crossroads,” a tribute to Eazy-E after his death in 1995, became a worldwide hit, spending eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and winning a Grammy Award. In 1997, Bone Thugs released The Art of War, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and produced the singles “Look into My Eyes” (also featured on the Batman & Robin Soundtrack) and “If I Could Teach the World.” The double-disc album was a massive commercial success.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony are considered pioneers of the “chopper” style of rap—fast, rhythmic lyric delivery combined with singing and harmony. Their influence can be heard in artists across hip-hop and R&B, and they helped bring national attention to Midwestern rap. The group has sold more than 60 million records worldwide. They remain one of the most influential and best-selling hip hop groups of all time. Their tour kicks off on July 10th .

https://www.livenation.com/artist/K8vZ9171nUV/bone-thugs-n-harmony-events

 

Their major albums include Faces of Death (1993), Creepin’ on ah Come Up (1994), E. 1999 Eternal (1995), The Art of War (1997), The Collection Vol. 1 (1998), BTNHResurrection (2000), The Collection Vol. 2 (2000), Thug World Order (2002), Strength & Loyalty (2007), Uni5: The World’s Enemy (2010), The Art of War: World War III (2013), and New Waves (2017).

They won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for “Tha Crossroads” in 1997 and “Ridin” in 2007, the American Music Award for Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist in 1998 and 2007, and the Soul Train Award for Best R&B/Soul or Rap Music Video for “Tha Crossroads” in 1997.

“Tha Crossroads” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the most successful rap singles of the 1990s. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony remain the only rap group to have recorded with all four late rap legends: Eazy-E, Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G., and Big Pun while they were alive.

They have also received nominations for the Grammy Awards for Best Rap Album (E. 1999 Eternal) and Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group (“1st of tha Month”), as well as the MTV Video Music Awards for Video of the Year (“Tha Crossroads”), Best Group Video (“Tha Crossroads”), Best Rap Video (“Tha Crossroads”), and Viewer’s Choice (“Tha Crossroads”).

The group is involved with the following charities: Spread the Love Foundation (Krayzie Bone), Beyond the Wishing Well (Wish Bone) and Make-A-Wish Foundation (Bizzy Bone.

ABOUT OUR HONOREE

“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce that beloved comedian and actress Molly Shannon will be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Her remarkable body of work and enduring impact on comedy and entertainment have earned her this well-deserved recognition. It makes this moment even more special that her star will be placed next to her dear friend and fellow Saturday Night Live alum Will Ferrell, creating a wonderful full-circle tribute to their shared legacy in comedy,” said Ana Martinez, Producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremonies.

Molly Shannon has truly cemented herself as one of Hollywood’s most beloved and versatile performers on television and the silver screen.

Shannon spent six unforgettable seasons on Saturday Night Live as a member of the repertory company, where she created some of the show’s most iconic characters, including Mary Katherine Gallagher, Helen Madden the licensed joyologist, and Sally O’Malley, while also delivering hilarious celebrity impressions of stars such as Courtney Love and Liza Minnelli. Her work on the legendary series earned her a Primetime Emmy nomination and quickly established her as a leading voice in comedy.

Since then, Shannon has built an acclaimed career spanning comedy, drama, television, and film. This summer, she will reunite with Will Ferrell in the upcoming Netflix comedy series The Hawk. The series, which also stars Jimmy Tatro, Fortune Feimster, and Luke Wilson, follows golfer Lonnie Hawkins as he makes his return to the PGA tour. She recently appeared in the fourth season of Only Murders in the Building, earning a Screen Actors Guild Award as part of the ensemble cast. She also received widespread acclaim for her performances in The White Lotus, The Other Two, and I Love That for You, with award nominations from the Critics’ Choice Awards, Film Independent Spirit Awards, and the Emmys throughout her career.

Her memoir, Hello, Molly!, became a New York Times bestseller, among numerous other accolades, and was widely praised for its deeply human stories about grief and joy. She is also the author of the children’s picture book Tilly the Trickster, a playful and heartfelt story about a spirited young prankster who learns important lessons while never losing her sense of fun.

In addition to her work on screen, Shannon made her Broadway debut in 2010 in the hit musical Promises, Promises alongside Sean Hayes and Kristin Chenoweth.

She also reunited with longtime collaborator Will Ferrell in 2018 for a series of fan-favorite comedy specials as eccentric broadcasters Cord Hosenbeck and Tish Cattigan, hilariously covering the Rose Parade and the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for Amazon Prime Video and HBO.

Shannon has dedicated her time to philanthropic work, collaborating with P.S. ARTS, a nonprofit organization focused on improving access to arts education for children in underserved schools, and the American Library Association, which supports libraries, literacy, and equitable access to information and education across communities.

Born in Shaker Heights, Ohio and a graduate of the New York University Tisch School of the Arts, Molly Shannon continues to captivate audiences with her singular ability to balance heartfelt vulnerability with unforgettable comedy. She currently resides in Los Angeles, and her greatest pride is being a mom to her two children, Stella and Nolan.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce administers the legendary Walk of Fame for the City of Los Angeles and has proudly hosted the globally iconic star ceremonies for decades. Millions of people from here and around the world have visited this cultural landmark since 1960.

 

ABOUT OUR HONOREE

“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome David Beckham to the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” stated Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame producer. “David Beckham’s recognition with a Hollywood Walk of Fame star in the Sports Entertainment category comes at a fitting moment as the United States prepares to host the FIFA World Cup. Beckham’s role in elevating soccer’s profile in America and his lasting influence on sports, entertainment, and global culture make this honor especially meaningful,” added Martinez.

Sir David Beckham was the first English football player to win league titles in four countries: England, Spain, the United States, and France. His career spanned 20 years with some of the most successful clubs in the world: Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan, LA Galaxy, Paris Saint-Germain, and the England team, which he captained for six years. Since retiring from football in 2013, Beckham has worked with world-leading brands including Adidas, Bank of America, Hugo BOSS, Stella Artois, and Sands.

In 2018, he became a co-owner of Major League Soccer Club Inter Miami CF.  In 2023, Inter Miami signed Lionel Messi and in 2025 won the MLS Cup, all under David Beckham’s ownership.

In 2019 David founded the content studio, Studio 99. The studio operates both editorial and commercial production, and specializes in developing and producing premium documentary features, series, and formats for global platforms and networks, including Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video. Studio 99’s recent work has included the Emmy award-winning documentary series Beckham for Netflix, the Victoria Beckham documentary, 99, and Ronnie O’Sullivan: The Edge of Everything. The studio also produces commercial content for globally recognized brands such as EA Sports, Tudor, and Shark NINJA.

In February 2022, Authentic Brands Group (Authentic), the world’s largest sports and entertainment licensing company, announced a strategic partnership with David Beckham to co-own and manage his global brand. In connection with the partnership, David Beckham became a shareholder in Authentic and joined their roster of growing entertainment portfolio that includes some of the world’s most celebrated athletes and iconic sports brands, such as Muhammad Ali, Shaquille O’Neal, Kevin Hart and Sports Illustrated.

Throughout his life, Beckham has been committed to supporting charities and projects that seek to drive change for the better. In 2024, he was appointed Ambassador for The King’s Foundation, an organization that transforms lives by offering education programs that protect traditional skills and knowledge for future generations. He has worked with UNICEF for over 20 years as a Goodwill Ambassador, a role that promotes and protects the rights of the world’s most vulnerable children. In 2015, David launched the 7 Fund with UNICEF — a unique partnership to give vulnerable and disadvantaged children the opportunity to reach their full potential. He also campaigns for Malaria No More, using his platform to ensure the world and its leaders hear the urgent message of the malaria fight.  In his position as Ambassadorial President of the British Fashion Council (BFC), David helps promote and nurture British fashion and the UK’s creative industries. In September 2025, he was Knighted by His Majesty King Charles III for his services to sports and charity.

 

Ovation Hollywood will serve as the ultimate destination for the World Cup this summer, launching tournament festivities with an official merchandise pop-up while hosting a vibrant courtyard beer garden broadcasting the tournament’s biggest games, beginning with the opening match in Mexico City on June 11th and the first local Los Angeles match on June 12th. It is a premier, family-friendly celebration combining elite sports culture, live viewing, and exclusive fan experiences.

ABOUT OUR HONOREE

“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome Adam Carolla to the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” stated Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame producer. “Adam has entertained audiences for decades with his sharp wit, originality, and influential voice in radio, television and podcasting. We know that his many fans will be thrilled to see his name on a coveted Walk of Fame star,” added Martinez.

Adam Carolla is best known as a comedian, actor, radio personality, television host, and NY Times best-selling author. He currently hosts The Adam Carolla Show, which holds the Guinness Book World Record for “most downloaded podcast.” Adam started The Adam Carolla Show podcast from his home office in February 2009. The podcast now receives more than 30 million downloads a month and has been featured in Fast Company Magazine, Entrepreneur, The New York Times, and The Los Angeles Times.

After years “digging ditches and swinging hammers” on construction sites throughout Southern California led to a job rebuilding a boxing gym, Adam traded that for an opportunity to coach boxing. Little did he know this would lead to a fateful meeting with Jimmy Kimmel, which would officially put him on the path to comedy stardom. After joining Kimmel on KROQ’s hit morning show, Adam launched his national comedy career on the syndicated radio program Loveline with Dr. Drew Pinsky. MTV developed a television version of the show, which was co-hosted by Adam and Dr. Drew for five seasons from 1996 to 2000. With Jimmy Kimmel (and their partner Daniel Kellison) Adam created and starred in two hit Comedy Central shows, The Man Show (1999-2003) and Crank Yankers (2002‐2005). He later took that construction acumen into the television world with TLC’s The Adam Carolla Project, which saw him and old construction buddies remodeling and flipping his childhood home; Spike TV’s Catch a Contractor, where he busted shady contractors and made them fix their shoddy work; and Adam Carolla and Friends Build Stuff Live, where he coached celebrity guests on various DIY challenges.

Adam became a New York Times best-selling author when his book, In Fifty Years We’ll All Be Chicks, topped the charts for ten weeks. The audio version went straight to the #1 position on iTunes. He has since written five more books, including New York Times Best Sellers Not Taco Bell Material and President Me. Adam also co-wrote, produced, and starred in two independent feature length films: The Hammer (2007) and Road Hard (2015), a crowd-funded comedy that raised over a million dollars in a single month. Through his venture Chassy Media he produced the inspirational documentaries Winning: The Racing Life of Paul Newman, Uppity: The Willy T. Ribbs Story, and The 24-Hour War, which documents the battle between Ford and Ferrari in the 1960’s for racing dominance at Le Mans.

Along with hosting his daily podcast, Adam headlines clubs, theaters, and casinos nationwide as a standup comic touring his particular brand of common-sense comedy that aired as his first Stand Up special on Fox Nation in the Winter of 2025.

ABOUT OUR HONOREE

“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome singer Miley Cyrus to the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” stated Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame producer.

“Miley deserves her flowers as she has made a lasting impact on the entertainment industry, and we are thrilled to honor her with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Generations of young girls have grown up watching her evolve, finding inspiration in her journey and fearless creativity,” added Martinez.

Miley Cyrus stands as a rare generational artist whose career has been defined by fearless reinvention, cultural influence, and enduring relevance. Twenty years after her debut on Hannah Montana, she has continually reshaped pop music while moving fluidly between genres—pop, rock, country, soul, and alternative—establishing herself as a true musical chameleon.

A three-time Golden Globe nominee for Best Original Song, Miley is a celebrated songwriter behind numerous platinum- and diamond-certified singles and albums. At the 2024 GRAMMY Awards, she earned Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for “Flowers,” the best-selling global single of 2023. In 2025, her collaboration with Beyoncé received the GRAMMY for Best Country Duo/Group Performance further affirming her genre-defying legacy. Her visual album Something Beautiful and chart-dominating Endless Summer Vacation reflect a career defined not by eras, but by evolution—cementing Miley Cyrus as a lasting and influential voice in music history.

Beyond music, Miley Cyrus has built a distinctive presence in multimedia culture. She has fronted major campaigns for Maison Margiela, Gucci’s Flora fragrance, and Dolce & Gabbana. Her performance as Ashley O in Black Mirror further expanded her artistic range. Across fashion, film, and music, Miley approaches image as narrative—thoughtfully constructed and inseparable from her creative voice. Miley is the founder of the Happy Hippie Foundation, supporting LGBTQ+ youth, and the Miley Cyrus Foundation, dedicated to supporting mothers in all their diversity.
