The star in the category of Motion Pictures was dedicated in front of The Dolby Theatre, at 6801 Hollywood Boulevard.

“We are very happy to honor such an esteemed filmmaker as Peter Jackson with a star on the Walk of Fame,” stated Ana Martinez, producer of the Walk of Fame ceremonies. “His groundbreaking and award-winning films are part of the legacy of larger-than-life, Hollywood-style entertainment that is beloved the world over.”

Assisting emcee and Hollywood Chamber President/CEO Leron Gubler to unveil the star were actor Andy Serkis and Warner Bros. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Kevin Tsujihara.

Peter Jackson is one of the world’s most successful filmmakers. One of his monumental achievements, “The Lord of the Rings” Trilogy, which he directed, as well as co-wrote and produced along with fellow Academy Award® winners and frequent collaborators Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, collectively earned a total of 30 Academy Award nominations, winning 17 Academy Awards, including Best Picture for the final film. Jackson and Walsh had received in 1995 their first Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay for their acclaimed film “Heavenly Creatures.”

Jackson once again plunged into the world of Middle-earth to direct, co-write and produce a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien. The first film in “The Hobbit” Trilogy, “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” was released in 2012 and earned over $1-billion worldwide and three Academy Award nominations. The second film, “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” released in 2013, earned over $950-million and earned three Academy Award nominations.

Jackson’s most recent film is the third and final installment. As with the first two films in The “Hobbit” Trilogy, the final film is a production of New Line Cinema and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures (MGM), with New Line managing production. The film will be released by Warner Bros. worldwide on Wednesday, December 17, 2014, with select international territories releasing on December 10, 2014, in High Frame Rate 3D (HFR 3D) in select theaters, other 2D and 3D formats, and IMAX®.

Jackson, through his New Zealand-based WingNut Films banner, also was responsible for the globally successful 2005 remake of “King Kong,” which earned over $500-million worldwide and three Academy Awards. More recently, Jackson directed the Academy Award-nominated “The Lovely Bones,” an adaptation of the acclaimed best-selling novel by Alice Sebold. He also produced the global sensation ‘District 9,” which received an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture. Jackson also produced, with Steven Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy, “The Adventures of Tintin,” which was directed by Spielberg. The film won, amongst many other awards and nominations, the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature and the Producers Guild of America Award for Animated Motion Picture Producers of the Year. The movie is the first of three, based on the world-renowned comic book series by Hergé, and Jackson will direct the second film in the trilogy.

Jackson has been active in enriching and promoting the arts, as well as supporting worthy humanitarian causes, including stem cell research and civil rights. In his home town of Wellington, he has helped ensure the preservation of key historical sites and theaters, as well as chairing the 14–18 Aviation Heritage Trust. He has also mentored young filmmakers and employed hundreds of actors, artists, craftspeople and technical crew from the U.S., New Zealand, and all over the world on his films and other projects.

Jackson was made a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2002. He was later knighted as a Knight Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2010.

Pharrell Williams

October 25, 2019

Hollywood Is ‘Happy’ To Honor Pharrell Williams with a
Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

Watch Pharrell Williams Walk of Fame star ceremony below.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce proudly honored producer, singer, songwriter Pharrell Williams with the 2,537th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday, December 4, 2014 at 11:30 a.m. PST. The star in the category of Recording was unveiled at 6270 Hollywood Boulevard in front of the W Hotel Hollywood. “We are so happy to pay tribute to Pharrell Williams, one of the nicest and most talented artists in show business,” stated Ana Martinez, producer of the Walk of Fame ceremonies. “His music is known the world over, and we are confident that fans will be ‘happy’ to see his star shine on our Walk of Fame.  

Helping emcee and Hollywood Chamber President/CEO Leron Gubler to unveil the star was talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.

Redefining cool for a new generation, Williams is a creative force who uses music, fashion, and design to express his distinctive style. From his beginnings as a teenage prodigy and multi-instrumentalist in Virginia Beach back in the early ’90s, through enough hits to earn him Billboard’s Producer of the Decade in 2010, to his current status as multi-media superstar, Williams has never stopped creating.

Starting his producing career as one half of The Neptunes with Chad Hugo, Williams has helped create such classics as Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky,” Robin Thicke’s  “Blurred Lines,” Nelly’s “Hot in Herre,” Jay-Z’s “I Just Wanna Love U (Give it 2 Me),” Britney Spears’s “I’m A Slave 4 U,” and Justin Timberlake’s “Like I Love You.” With over 100-million copies of his productions sold,   Williams’ music sounds like something no one else has thought of just yet. He’s also created a new way of looking at established stars such as Snoop Dogg, Madonna, and even the Rolling Stones.  Over four albums, Williams and Hugo along with Shae Haley created an unpredictable hybrid as part of the alt-rock/hip-hop group N.E.R.D.

The music industry has honored Pharrell with 7 Grammy Awards including 2004’s and 2014’s “Producer of the Year.” as well as ASCAP’s prestigious Golden Note Award in 2012. He received a 2014 Academy Award Nomination for his original song “Happy” which was featured in the animated film “Despicable Me 2.” The popular song “Happy” remained atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart for ten consecutive weeks, and peaked at No. 1 on iTunes in 103 markets worldwide. The song is the lead single off of his new album “G I R L.” Pharrell’s latest solo album “G I R L” was released on March 3, 2014 to rave reviews.   

Pharrell is currently seen on the NBC Emmy Award winning show “The Voice” as one of the four expert coaches.  “The Voice” airs Monday and Tuesday Nights At 8 p.m. with the finale airing on December 16.

With his latest venture i am OTHER — a multi-media creative collective that serves as an umbrella for all his endeavors, including Billionaire Boys Club & ICECREAM apparel textile company Bionic Yarn and a dedicated YouTube channel —  Williams’ vision continues to push pop culture forward. Williams’ prolific body of work extends beyond the world of music. His diverse artistic creations range from designing a sculpture with prolific contemporary Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, to accessories and jewelry for Louis Vuitton, to T-shirts for Japanese mega-brand Uniqlo, to adidas sportswear, and to the forthcoming perfume collaboration with Comme des Garçons.

 Pharrell’s work in the humanitarian field is an extension of his success. In 2008, he founded From One Hand To AnOTHER (FOHTA), a foundation focused on supporting the Pharrell Williams Resource Centers’ learning programs for underserved youth in at risk communities across the nation. This past March, Pharrell partnered with the United Nations Foundation to celebrate the International Day of Happiness inspiring individuals all over the globe to demonstrate their unique “happy.”

Los Tigres Del Norte

October 25, 2019

Latin Music Superstars Los Tigres Del Norte Honored with Star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame

Watch Los Tigres Del Norte Unveil their star at the end of this page.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce honored the popular Norteno group Los Tigres Del Norte, (the Hernandez Brothers, Jorge, Hernan, Eduardo, Luis and cousin Oscar Lara) with the 2,527th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on August 21, 2014 at 11:30 a.m. The star for the multi-award winning group was unveiled at 7060 Hollywood Boulevard in front of the Live Nation Building. “We are proud to let the world know that Los Tigres Del Norte is the first Norteno band to be honored with a star on the Walk of Fame! They have entertained many generations with their music for several decades,” said Ana Martinez, producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “We are pleased to embrace their entertainment careers with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.”

Emcee and Hollywood Chamber of Commerce President and CEO,  Leron Gubler unveiled the star for Los Tigres Del Norte in the category of Recording. The star ceremony was streamed live exclusively on www.walkoffame.com.

During the early ’70s, Los Tigres became the first act signed to Fama Records. Founded by Art Walker, Fama grew to become the leading Spanish-language record label on the West Coast. Walker, a local impresario, first heard the group on a live radio presentation recorded at the local Parque de las Flores on Keyes Street in San Jose, and impressed with what he heard, he decided to make them the foundation of Fama. With his guidance, Los Tigres adopted an electric style, trading in their traditional acoustic sound for one incorporating bass, drums, and electric guitar. The group also adopted a modern approach to songwriting, emphasizing contemporary social themes common to Mexican-Americans.

In the 1980s, Los Tigres moved to Fonovisa Records and furthered their success. Beginning with Jaula De Oro (1984), the group would regularly top the regional Mexican album chart stateside, and this success was acknowledged in 1987 when they won the initial Grammy Award for Best Mexican-American Performance, for Gracias America…..Sin Fronteras (1986).

In the diverse world of Latin music, the Regional Mexican genre alone accounts for more than half of all music sales, according to Billboard. This popular genre outpaces the combined sales of Pop, Rock, Tropical, Urban and all other styles, and Los Tigres Del Norte are the undisputed legends of the genre.

The group has more than 500 recorded songs to their credit. Los Tigres del Norte have sold more than 37 million albums worldwide, notching 22 No. 1 albums and more than 50 No. 1 singles. The group has received countless Platinum records and numerous awards including six Grammy and six Latin Grammys, the Latin Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award, and The Hispanic Heritage “Legends” Awardat The Kennedy Center. They won multiple Premio Lo Nuestro awards, and are the recipients of the BMI ICON Award.

Their unrivaled career spans four decades. Los Tigrescontinues to be at the forefront of Latin music popularity performing regularly to sold-out audiences. Los Tigres Del Norte songs debut at No. 1 on the charts with each album and single they release.

They continue to blaze new trails for the genre and achieve new milestones. In 2013, they were joined by numerous members of Congress at the massive “Camino Americano: Rally & March for Immigrant Dignity & Respect” at the National Mall in Washington, DC. In 2011, the band was featured in “MTV Unplugged: Los Tigres Del Norte & Friends,” the first album to be dedicated to the Regional Mexican genre. The album quickly became a commercial success and went on to earn a rare Diamond sales certification. In 2010, the group headlined Mexico’s Historic Bicentennial Celebration. The group recently released the eagerly-awaited new single La Bala (The Bullet) which is their first new studio recording in four years, and the first advance release of a highly-anticipated new album arriving in October.

Their long-standing career has also garnered the band numerous accolades. Del Norte is the first Mexican group to sing in Spanish on the American Music Awards. The band received The Smithsonian Legacy Award, and were the subject of a Smithsonian Institute Traveling Exhibit entitled “Corridos Sin Fronteras.” The Spanish group headlined one of the largest concerts in Los Angeles history drawing over 200,000 fans and also performed to a sold-out audience at Walt Disney Hall in Los Angeles. Del Norte also appeared in more than 15 films, including Sundance Favorite ‘La Misma Luna’.

In 2000, Los Tigres Del Norte institutionalized their charitable efforts by establishing the Los Tigres Del Norte Foundation to further the appreciation and understanding of Hispanic music, culture, and history through education and community outreach programs. The Foundation donated $500,000 to UCLA’s Chicano Studies Center to create and preserve The Frontera Collection of Mexican and Mexican American Recordings, the world’s largest collection of historical Mexican music recordings. The band also opened a music school for children in need in their home state of Sinaloa, Mexico. These days. Del Norte are staple performers for USO programs to entertain troops abroad in Japan, Korea, Germany and Italy.

Philip Edward “Phil” Hartman (September 24, 1948 ~ May 28, 1998; born Hartmann) was a Canadian American actor, comedian, screenwriter and graphic artist. Born in Brantford, Ontario, Hartman and his family moved to the United States when he was 10. After graduating from California State University, Northridge, with a degree in graphic arts, he designed album covers for bands such as Poco and America. Feeling the need for a more creative outlet, Hartman joined the comedy group The Groundlings in 1975 and helped comedian Paul Reubens develop his character Pee-wee Herman. Hartman co-wrote the screenplay for the film “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure” and made recurring appearances on Reubens’ show “Pee-wee's Playhouse.”

Hartman became famous in the late 1980s when he joined the sketch comedy show “Saturday Night Live.” He won fame for his impressions, particularly of President Bill Clinton, and he stayed on the show for eight seasons. He was given the moniker “The Glue” for his ability to hold the show together and help other cast members. In 1989, Hartman won a Primetime Emmy Award for his “SNL” work. In 1995, after scrapping plans for his own variety show, he starred as Bill McNeal in the NBC sitcom “NewsRadio.” He had frequent roles on “The Simpsons” as Lionel Hutz, Troy McClure, and others, and appeared in the films “Houseguest,” “Sgt. Bilko,” “Jingle All the Way” and “Small Soldiers.”

Sadly, Phil Hartman passed away in 1998. The authorized biography of Hartman titled “You Might Remember Me: The Life and Times of Phil Hartman” written by Mikel Thomas will be released on September 23, 2014 by St. Martin’s Press. A CD “Phil Hartman’s Flat TV” is available via George Carlin’s record label at www.laugh.com.
