Ellen Degeneres received the 2477th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday.

The chat show host invited her fans to watch the ceremony by posting a message on Twitter and jokingly asking for a ride home afterwards. "I'm getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today at 11am. Come watch me! Also, I'd love a ride home. 6270 Hollywood Blvd (sic)," she wrote.

She later added, "So excited to see fans here at the W Hollywood to see me get my star on the Walk of Fame! Come down if you can!"

Ellen was cheered on by Ryan Seacrest and Jimmy Kimmel and revealed she was thrilled people would now be walking all over her: "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."

Erik Estrada Receives Hollywood Star

I’m not knockin on Ponch, but I was surprised to hear that Erik Estrada just received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I would have thought that a celeb would have to have a more illustrious career to be honored with a star, but I’m seeing that’s not the case. Again, that’s not a dig on Estrada. I grew up on CHiPs—but has he had much high-profile work since then? A peek at IMDB shows that he’s had a steady flow of acting gigs, but nothing terribly notable. His most recent appearance was on the short-lived reality show Armed & Famous. During the star ceremony, he reflected on how CHiPs fulfilled his dreams, saying, “One, of course, a certain amount of success in the entertainment business, for which I really am extremely grateful and I’m very proud. But equally important, it represents my childhood dream of becoming a police officer.”
