'The Rock' is Set to Receive Coveted Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

'The Rock' is Set to Receive Coveted Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

Dwayne Johnson, star of the upcoming Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, will be honored with a ceremony on December 13 as he is inducted into the motion pictures category of the elite Hollywood Walk of Fame.


The Rock responded to a Variety article announcement of his milestone achievement, expressing that it was "A true true honor. What a full circle journey. So grateful and so many people to thank. See everyone there! Tequila on me.

Ana Martinez, a producer of the Walk of Fame ceremonies, shared in the Rock's enthusiasm for the honor.

Not only does Dwayne have a great personality and talent, but he also does a great amount of philanthropic work which is part of the criteria for earning an immortal spot on the Walk of Fame. We envision scores of photos being taken at his star by his fans.

Before breaking box office records as a bankable, bonafide action hero, Johnson - who was born in San Franciso and raised in Hawaii - was an athlete who led his University of Miami Hurricanes team to national championship as the defensive lineman. He later became "The Rock" when he joined the competitive entertainment sports world of the WWE.

Once he left the ring, "The Rock" dropped his moniker for Hollywood to go by Dwayne Johnson and made his silver screen debut starring as the nefarious Scorpion King in 2002's eponymous film. He solidified his position in Hollywood in the prominent role of Luke Hobbs in The Fast and the Furious film franchise.

In 2019, Johnson will star with Jason Statham in a spinoff of the Furious films featuring his character of Hobbs.

Highlights from his recent films include Furious 7, Hercules, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, with earlier work including Race to Witch Mountain, Get Smart, The Game Plan, and voicing the role of Maui in Disney's 2016 animated adventure, Moana.

Johnson is also known for his philanthropy, creating a charity called The Rock Foundation in 2006, which strives to empower terminally ill children worldwide through various programs. According to their website, the Foundation aims "to improve the health and self-esteem of children through its physical fitness program; educating children about nutrition and healthy practices towards achieving their fitness goals."

On December 20, Johnson will star along with Kevin Hart and Jack Black for in Sony’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, followed by next year's Jungle Cruise, based on the Disney theme park attraction.

Fans are cheering him on for an honor that was long overdue.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves.
