Kelly Clarkson Gets Her Walk Of Fame Star

Kelly Clarkson Gets Her Walk Of Fame Star. It would seem the timing of the honor is near perfect. Kelly just celebrated the 20th Anniversary of her American Idol win. She was the very first winner of the reality TV show and has become one of the most famous, most successful contestants ever.

American Idol was such a novelty 20 years ago. There was no other show like it. It catapulted her career. Not only has Kelly recorded nine studio albums she has had a dozen top ten songs. She's scooped up all kinds of awards including two coveted Grammys.

The former talent contestant also famously assumed the roll of judge in The Voice. Currently, Kelly  has a successful daytime talk show that has racked up five Emmys.

Her Hollywood Walk of Fame unveiling turned into an American Idol reunion with Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson making appearances. Simon also has a star on the famous walk. When he received the honor in 2018, Kelly was there to celebrate . He returned the favor this week with a glowing speech.

Variety has announced their honorees for its upcoming Power of Women issue and gala event later this month. The event celebrates the top women working in entertainment, who will appear on the cover and will be profiled in the publication's annual Women's Impact report.

This year’s honorees include Hillary Clinton and daughter Chelsea Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Ava DuVernay, Malala, Elizabeth Olsen and Meghan Markle. The program will be hosted by Hacks' Megan Stalter.

As part of the evening, Lifetime will debut this year’s Stop Breast Cancer for Life PSA, featuring music icon Patti LaBelle in support of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The PSA spotlights the statistic that Black women are 41% more likely to die from breast cancer than any other group and urges all women to get their mammograms as early detection helps save lives. Last year, Kelly Rowland, Vanessa Lachey and Melissa Joan Hart were featured for the PSA.

Additionally, Google will present the Social Impact Award to Jacqueline Martinez Garcel for the impact she has made as the CEO of the Latino Community Foundation, an independent statewide foundation with a mission to invest in Latino leaders throughout California.

“We’re excited to once again put the Power of Women spotlight on groundbreaking and accomplished female leaders,” said Variety’s co-editor-in-chief Cynthia Littleton. “We’re honored to salute those who are making a difference for equity, inclusion and excellence in our industry and making an enormous difference in the wider world through their philanthropic efforts. We’re grateful to Lifetime for their unwavering support of this franchise that is a labor of love for everyone at Variety. This year’s gathering under the stars at the Wallis promises to be another can’t-miss night.”
