The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has revealed their 2018 selections to receive stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and among them are Snoop Dogg, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jennifer Lawrence, Carrie Underwood, Simon Cowell, Ru Paul, “Weird Al” Yankovic and Taraji P. Henson.
The late Bernie Mac and Steve Irwin will also be honored posthumously.
In a pleasant coincidence, ‘Weird Al” and Lin-Manuel Miranda were actually getting lunch together when they found out they were both getting stars. Each of the celebrities took to Twitter to share their excitement. Miranda’s face upon finding out says it all.
See the full list of honorees below.
