Mary J Blige Celebrates 47th Birthday with Star On the Hollywood Walk of Fame Today

Mary J. Blige will be honored with her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on her 47th birthday today (Jan. 11). Although celebrities can purchase a star for around 3 stacks, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a great symbol of lifetime achievement.

Stars and socialites of every stripe are paying homage to the Queen on social media today. Stay tuned for pics from the Walk of Fame ceremony later.

Wow is all I have to say. So you telling me, you can be a "real" girl from the hood and possibly receive a star ?? on Hollywood ? All by being authentic and living in your purpose even if others can't see the vision inside of you? Wow I'm transformed by this and this picture makes it even more real for me! Thank you @therealmaryjblige for following your flow… you taught us all by example and forever changed our view of what talent, soul, hip hop truly is. Wow I'm speechless. Congrats Mary, your whole family, @latonya_fab @misahylton everyone involved. So inspired!! From yo to Hollywood ??!!! Love is real!!
