It was a very special day on Hollywood Blvd. for family, friends and the fans worldwide of late superstar Michael Jackson as a ceremony “Immortalized” this unforgettable performer into the cement in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.
Billy Bush hosted the event which included heartfelt speeches from Smokey Robinson, Quincy Jones, Chris Tucker, Justin Bieber, Debbie Allen, Harry Shum, Jr. of Glee, Michael’s mother Katherine, his brother Tito and children Prince and Paris.
Songs such as “I’ll Be There” “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’,” “Earth Song,” “Jam” and “They Don’t Care About Us” were performed as a multitude of dancers entertained both the crowd who attended and those watching the simulcast live.
Michael’s daughter Paris wrote his name in the fresh cement and left an impression of his iconic sequin glove while Blanket imprinted his shoes. Tourists who visit Hollywood in the future will be able to see this on display next to other famous actors, directors and musicians.
We were lucky enough to make it out to the event to take some videos that you can watch on YouTube here:

Get a sneak peek at a Star Wars-themed commercial from Volkswagen slated to air during Super Bowl XLVI next month!
The ad stars 12 dogs dressed in disguises and wearing accessories from SW characters such as Chewbacca, Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, an Ewok and even the AT-AT Walker from The Empire Strikes Back.
These costumed canines are barking Darth Vader’s theme: “The Imperial March” and sound pretty good in doing so while remaining well-behaved for the camera.
The YouTube description from VW for this video claims “it will all make sense” on February 5th. Until then, if you’d like to dress up your pooch (or yourself) in a Star Wars look, check out all our options here or click on one of the following choices:
