Ellen DeGeneres Receives Star On Hollywood Walk Of Fame

Ellen DeGeneres received lucky star number 2,744 on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday.

The comedian/talk show host was honored by Jimmy Kimmel and Ryan Seacrest, who both gave short speeches at the ceremony.

Ellen remarked to the crowd in attendance,  “It is amazing. I spent my entire career trying to conduct myself in a certain way making sure no one walks all over me only to get to a point where people are going to walk all over me. It means so much to me that everyone showed up.”
DeGeneres was joined by wife Portia Di Rossi and her mother at the ceremony.   She tweeted prior to the event;

“I’m getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today at 11am. Come watch me!” before adding, “Also, I’d love a ride home. 6270 Hollywood Blvd.”
