Weird Al gets Hollywood Star

Weird Al Yankovic is scheduled to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this month.

“The time has finally come… On Aug. 27 at 11:30 AM I’ll be getting my very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (6914 Hollywood Blvd., right across the street from the Chinese Theatre). The ceremony is FREE and open to the public, so come on down!!” Yankovic tweeted.

Star Wars actor Mark Hamill was among the first to congratulate Yankovic on the honor. “Congratulations @alyankovic on your well-deserved star! You’re right across the street from the Chinese Theater? I’m right next to Minnie Mouse in front of the El Capitan Theater… that makes us neighbors! #WelcomeToTheNeighborhood,” Hamill wrote in his own post.

Yankovic, 58, is currently on the road with his Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour.
