Mexican starlet Thalía was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her more than 30 years in the entertainment business. In her speech, the actress, singer and producer thanked her mother, Yolanda Miranda, who passed away in May 2011.
"I have a star in the sky and now I have a star here and this star is for her," said the 42-year-old star, who was joined by her husband Tommy Mottola. The "María, la del Barrio" actress received the 2,514th star, which is now located between Jennifer Lopez's and Carmen Miranda's, directly opposite of the W Hollywood Hotel, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce informed.
Last week, Thalía couldn't hold her excitement, and shared a sneak peek of her star through her Instagram account. "My God! They are building it," she wrote. "The pipe dream of a mother and her daughter are becoming a reality. Everything is possible with the favor of God."
This has definitely been a very successful year for Thalía. Besides releasing her first children's book, titled "Chupie: The Binky That Returned Home," she made her co-hosting debut on "The View."
Alongside legendary journalist Barbara Walters, Jenny McCarthy, Sherri Shepard, and Whoopi Goldberg, Thalía gave her opinion on this year's edition of the American Music Awards --Jennifer Lopez's tribute to salsa Queen Celia Cruz and Katy Perry's act, where she dressed as a geisha.
"Celia Cruz is the icon of Latin culture and having Jennifer doing that in Spanish...She did amazing," said Thalía. "You should do Celia Cruz, Whoopie!" she joked, "you're the only one that can understand that. I'll show you the movements!"
Then, Thalía gave her opinion on the "Roar" singer. "If they're making fun of your culture and like, wearing the mariachi hat, and having a Chihuahua dog, and doing the coochie-coochie, that's not funny," said Thalía, "But she loves the geishas, she loves the culture." She then added that at the age of 14 or 18 she did a geisha number as a tribute. "People take it so personal," she added.
