Disney icon makes history as she's awarded star on Hollywood Walk of Fame
The Hollywood Walk of Fame Class of 2026 has been announced by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. Recipients of the Star for the upcoming year were announced after careful consideration by the Walk of Fame Selection Panel.
The new group of entertainment professionals being honoured with a star span the categories of Motion Pictures, Television, Live Theatre/Live Performance, Recording and Sports Entertainment.
35 famed individuals will receive their very own coveted star on the prestigious sidewalks of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street, as announced by actor Eugenio Derbez, radio personality Richard Blade, and Hollywood Chamber of Commerce President Steven Nissen during a live press conference on Wednesday, July 2.
Among those being honoured are pop icon Miley Cyrus, Academy Award winner Rami Malek, Oscar-nominated actors Timothée Chalamet, Demi Moore, Emily Blunt, Rachel McAdams, and Stanley Tucci; celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay; legendary rock band Air Supply; Bollywood A-lister Deepika Padukone; Grammy-winning Beninese-French singer-songwriter and actress Angélique Kidjo; and basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal.
Cyrus will be the first person born in the 1990s to receive a star in Hollywood Walk of Fame history. Director Tony Scott and Italian special effects artist Carlo Rambaldi will be honoured posthumously.
The 2025-2026 class of Hollywood Walk of Fame honourees were chosen at a meeting held on June 20, 2025, ratified by the Hollywood Chamber's Board of Directors on June 25, among hundreds of nominations that were made to the committee.
Exact dates for the star ceremonies are yet to be scheduled and recipients of the star have up to two years to schedule their star ceremonies from the date of their selection, before they expire. Star ceremonies are usually announced on the official Hollywood Walk of Fame website, ten days prior to their scheduled date. The ceremonies are broadcast worldwide, and sponsors have to fund the star, the ceremony, as well as the maintenance of the legendary symbol.
Chairman Peter Roth said in a statement: 'We are excited to announce the newest selections of 35 esteemed individuals who will be enshrined onto the Walk of Fame as part of the prestigious Class of 2026.

Singer cancels tour over poor ticket sales and confesses he 'aimed too high'
Grammy-nominated artist JP Saxe has been forced to axe his entire tour unless he sells 20,000 tickets immediately after he 'aimed too high'. The Canadian singer, 32, is best known for his hit song If The World Was Ending, which he released in 2019 with vocals from Julia Michaels. The track landed him a Grammy nomination for Song of the Year 2021 but lost out to I Can't Breathe by H.E.R. Four years on, and he's taken to social media to confess he had overestimated how many tickets he could sell to his latest tour. 'I'm extremely embarrassed to tell you this, but I'm going to tell you anyway,' he began in a video posted to social media. 'If I don't sell 20 or so thousand tickets to my tour in the next 48 hours, it's going to be cancelled. 'If we're just not in a place yet to sell out these 2,000-, 3,000-cap venues – that's fine. It's always been my goal to connect deeply, not widely, and I stand by that.' The Make Yourself At Home tour was due to start next month with 32-dates scheduled across America, ending in October. He urged fans who might be waiting until the last minute to purchase tickets to act now so it could go ahead. 'Just in case you were waiting till the week of or night of to buy a ticket – that approach just isn't going to work, because there won't be a show to buy a ticket to,' JP continued. 'So whether that happens or not, I'm grateful to you for caring about my songs, and I hold on to a sliver of hope that I will see you in the fall.' After his message, an influx of 'a few thousand extra' ticket sales came in but it still hasn't been enough to save the tour. 'I am beyond grateful to every one of you who bought one,' JP said in a follow-up video once the 48hour deadline had passed. 'Those few thousand tickets are a reminder that being transparent in failure sometimes can be more powerful than the façade of success – a reminder of how wonderful it can be to ask for help and watch a community come together.' With a smile, he added: 'This really was the nicest the internet has ever been to me.' Apologising to those who wanted to come, JP confirmed purchases would be refunded in full 'with a small side of immense gratitude from a dorky ginger Canadian'. He then went on to write about the experience for Variety, explaining that honesty is not always seen as the best policy in the industry but it was important to him. More Trending Rather than an 'ego-saving explanation', the I Don't Miss You singer admitted he had 'aimed too high – my bad.' 'Self-image is delicate on a good day, fragile on a bad one,' he wrote. 'Applause for success is great. 'But there is something more interesting about be applauded for honesty in failure. It's not as good for my ego — but maybe i'ts better for my growth'. Got a story?
