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.

The series has been renewed for a second season, slated to premiere in 2026. Also coming up, you can find Tucci reprising his role as Nigel in 20th Century Studios’ The Devil Wears Prada 2. And starring alongside Simona Tabasco and Victor Belmondo, Tucci will appear in Masterplan, a French-Italian Prime Video Original heist film directed by Reacher‘s Thomas Vincent.

In addition to his upcoming film projects, Tucci joined NBC’s primetime coverage of the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, serving as a special contributor with cultural and culinary segments that explored northern Italy’s food, history, and regional traditions for American audiences.

His book What I Ate in One Year, which came out in 2024, is a New York Times Best Seller. The book records twelve months of eating— in restaurants, kitchens, film sets, press junkets, at home and abroad, with friends, with family, with strangers, and occasionally just by himself.  He has written three other books: The Tucci Cookbook, The Tucci Table: Cooking with Family and Friends, and the additional New York Times Best Seller, Taste: My Life Through Food.

Acclaimed for his work in all mediums, Tucci was nominated for an Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, BAFTA Award, SAG Award, and received a Broadcast Film Critics nomination for his performance in Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones. He also won an Emmy and Golden Globe for his starring role as the fast-talking tabloid tattler Walter Winchell in the Paul Mazurksy-directed TV movie Winchell. He received another Golden Globe for his brilliant portrayal of Lt. Colonel Adolf Eichmann in HBO’s Conspiracy.

With so many accolades for his performances on the screen, it is no surprise that his work as a writer, producer, and director is also widely celebrated. Big Night, Stanley Tucci’s first pursuit as co-director, co-screenwriter, and actor on the same film, earned him numerous honors, including the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival, Recognition of Excellence by the National Board of Review, an Independent Spirit Award, The Critics’ Prize at the 1996 Deauville Film Festival, and honors from The New York Film Critics and The Boston Society of Film Critics.

Following this success, he directed and co-starred as famed New Yorker staff writer Joseph Mitchell in Joe Gould’s Secret, opposite Ian Holm in the title role; executive produced Behind the Sun, starring Rodrigo Santoro; co-wrote, directed, and starred in Blind Date (a remake of the 1996 Theo Van Gogh film); and produced the Ivan Kavanagh horror film, The Canal.

Tucci’s additional credits in front of the camera include: Conclave, Supernova, Worth, Final Portrait, The Hunger Games, Spotlight, The Hunger Games, Easy A, Julie & Julia, The Devil Wears Prada, Big Night, The Lovely Bones and much, much more.

Stanley is involved with the following charities: WAR CHILD, UNHCR and TRUSSEL TRUST.

Noah Wyle was born and raised in Hollywood, California and began his professional career in 1989 after graduating from the Thatcher School in Ojai, California.

In 1990 Noah co-founded Los Angeles’ Blank Theater Company serving for nearly two decades as its artistic producer.

He appeared in more than 250 episodes, making him one of the longest-running cast members. The role earned him five Emmy nominations and three Golden Globe nominations.

Noah starred in the critically acclaimed action crime drama Leverage: Redemption for which he wrote and directed several episodes. He starred in the limited series The Red Line for CBS, produced by Ava DuVernay and Greg Berlanti. He starred in The Romanoffs by Matthew Weiner and the fantasy adventure series The Librarians.

On the feature side, Noah has appeared in nearly two dozen films including Rob Reiner’s A Few Good Men and Richard Kelly’s Donnie Darko. He was also the first actor to portray Steve Jobs in the film Pirates of Silicone Valley.

Most recently, Wyle stars in Warner Bros. Television’s The Pitt for HBO Max where he plays senior emergency physician, Michael ‘Robby’ Robinavitch. He is also a writer, director and executive producer of the medical drama. His performance garnered him a historic ‘sweep’ of the major television industry accolades. He is the first male actor to win the top dramatic acting award from all five major TV award bodies in a single season. This includes an Emmy, a Golden Globe, an Actor Award, a Critics’ Choice Award, and a Television Critics Association Award.

The series explores the complexities of power, justice and redemption within a troubled university hospital. The show ranks among the top three most watched Max Original series in the platform’s history and is in pre-production for a third season.

ABOUT OUR HONOREE

“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome performer Brandy   to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, stated Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame producer. “Brandy has captivated audiences for decades with a voice and artistry that helped shape modern R&B and inspire generations of performers. Honoring her with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a celebration of not only her extraordinary music career, but also her lasting impact on television, film, and popular culture. We are proud to welcome Brandy to this iconic sidewalk that celebrates the very best of entertainment.” Added Martinez.

Multi-platinum, GRAMMY Award-winning recording artist and actor Brandy stands among the most influential voices of her generation. For more than three decades she has shaped music, television, and live performance through technical mastery, artistic innovation, and cultural impact.

Born into a musically rooted family and raised in the church, Brandy began singing at the age of two. A cappella harmony was the only way she knew to sing in her formative years, shaping a voice grounded in discipline, precision, and layered expression. This early foundation would later influence contemporary R&B while helping shape the evolution of modern pop music.

Her 1994 self-titled debut album went 4x-Platinum and introduced a vocal style defined by intricate harmonies and emotional nuance. With her 1998 sophomore album Never Say Never, Brandy achieved Diamond status, selling over 16 million albums worldwide. The GRAMMY Award-winning duet “The Boy Is Mine” with Monica spent 13 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remains one of the most successful collaborations in popular music history. In 2002, Brandy went on to make her critically acclaimed album, Full Moon. Brandy has sold more than 40 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling female artists of all time.

Beyond music, Brandy became a defining presence on television. From 1996 to 2001, she starred in the hit UPN sitcom Moesha, helping redefine representation for a generation and establishing herself as a cultural force beyond recording. Brandy later appeared in hit series such as Star, The Game, Queens, Drop Dead Diva, and Zoe Ever After.

In 1997, personally selected by Whitney Houston to portray Cinderella in Disney’s television adaptation of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella, Brandy made history as the first African American actor to assume the iconic role. The groundbreaking production, viewed by more than 60 million people, became a lasting cultural milestone. Her other work includes the film I Still Know What You Did Last Summer and in 1999, she co-starred alongside Diana Ross in the made-for-television musical drama Double Platinum.

Her versatility extends to live theater. In 2015, she made her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in the Tony Award-winning musical Chicago, demonstrating her rare ability to command the stage on the great white way. Brandy’s fans traveled from across the globe to witness her light up the Broadway stage.

Throughout her career, Brandy has received an American Music Award, multiple NAACP Image Awards, Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards, and numerous industry honors recognizing both her artistic excellence and cultural influence.  In 2026, Brandy was awarded the Black Music Icon Award by the Recording Academy and the Black Music Collective.

Continuing to evolve artistically, she has released additional acclaimed projects including Afrodisiac, Human, Two Eleven, b7, and Christmas with Brandy. She has a treasure trove of unreleased classics. She remains a respected force in entertainment and a lasting source of inspiration to artists around the world.

Brandy has consistently used her platform to support charitable causes centered on youth, education, and community empowerment. Through her Norwood Kids Foundation, she has provided resources and opportunities for underserved youth, while also lending her voice to global efforts as a former UNICEF youth spokesperson. In addition, she has supported organizations like Make-A-Wish and RAINN, and contributed to initiatives focused on health awareness and education, demonstrating a longstanding commitment to uplifting communities and inspiring the next generation.

Brandy’s career stands as a testament to artistic innovation and cultural impact. As she is honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, her legacy is secured not only in platinum records and historic performances, but in the enduring imprint of her voice, a sound that helped redefine modern music and continues to resonate across generations.
