Lopez was honored for her musical accomplishments on Thursday when she
received the 2,500th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Lopez, a New York City-native born to Puerto Rican parents, gave an
emotional speech to the crowd gathered to see her receive the terrazzo
and brass star along Hollywood Boulevard, saying she was overwhelmed.
"This all feels, I don't know, kind of surreal, but so real. It's
awesome," Lopez said, fighting back tears as she received her star in
front of the W Hotel in Hollywood.
Lopez, 43, who began her career acting in the 1986 film "My Little
Girl" and gained recognition for her portrayal of late singer Selena
in the 1997 biopic "Selena," has built a multi-faceted career as an
actress, singer, fashion designer and reality television judge on
Fox's talent show "American Idol."
Lopez has sold more than 70 million albums worldwide in a recording
career that began in 1999 with the critically acclaimed debut album
"On the Six." She is set to release her eighth studio album this fall.
