Cyrus recently released her ninth studio album, “Something Beautiful,” which contains the song, appropriately named “Walk of Fame.” The video showed her crawling on the iconic sidewalk, and caused her to get an infection in her kneecap, The Los Angeles Times reported.

She shared on Instagram after the announcement, “When I first came to LA from Nashville as a little girl, my family would stay at a hotel on Hollywood Blvd, and I would go on late night walks with my dad when no one would recognize him. We’d have the gift shops to ourselves & buy knock off Oscars and Marilyn Monroe merchandise. To now be cemented on this legendary boulevard, surrounded by the icons who inspired me, feels like a dream.”

O’Neil is the lone sports personality and no one was selected from the radio category, according to The Hollywood Reporter and the Times.

David, when he heard his name announced, he was surprised and speechless, then had tears in his eyes as his wife says off camera, “Happy 70th Birthday” before she runs in to embrace him.

He is known for lending his voice to such characters as Dr. Facilier in “The Princess and the Frog.” He also has three Emmy awards for narrating PBS shows.

David wrote on X, “What a surprise! Being blessed to get to do this for a living is enough for me; to be recognized for my contribution to the arts is the cherry on top. Thank you, Hollywood Walk of Fame & Hollywood Chamber for this honor. This will be a wonderful birthday present next year.”

When someone is selected, there is a $85,000 sponsorship fee that comes with the star for its creation, installation and maintenance of the Walk of Fame, the Times explained. They have two years to accept the honor and have a ceremony before it expires.
