Carrie Fisher to receive star on Hollywood Walk of Fame; Shakira to be named ‘Woman of the Year’
Fans of Princess Leia and “Star Wars” have reason to celebrate on May 4th as Carrie Fisher is set to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Hammer and Nigel from WIBC discussed both of these hot topics on today’s All Indiana.
Fisher, who died in 2016, is best known for her iconic role as Princess Leia in the “Star Wars” franchise. However, she had a diverse career, including being an Emmy Award-nominated television actress and a novel author.
The timing of the star’s induction is fitting as May 4th has been deemed unofficial “Star Wars” Day due to the phrase “May the Fourth Be With You.”
In other news, the first-ever Latin Billboard Women in Music Event will honor pop superstar Shakira as “Woman of the Year” in May. Billboard and Telemundo announced the news, stating that Shakira will be recognized for her contributions to the music industry.
The Colombian singer has had a decades-long career that has opened doors for Latin artists to gain international success. Her impact on the music industry has been immense, and it is fitting that she is being recognized with this prestigious award.
