Kerry Washington is celebrating a “bucket list” moment by receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

Kerry Washington’s star status was cemented for generations to return. On December 2, Washington was inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame and honored along with his own terrazzo and brass star for his television achievements. As she said People Magazine immediately following the induction ceremony, the coveted tribute had special meaning for her father, Earl Washington.
“For my dad, it was kind of a bucket list achievement,” she explained. “I think it was something my dad always dreamed about and asked me about, so it was really special to be here today to share this moment with my parents and have them here with me.”
“Here we are, Mom, Dad; can you believe it? A true star,” Washington, 47, said during her award acceptance speech. “You made a wish and it came true.”
Joined by Washington’s parents, Earl and Valerie Washington, and husband, actor and producer Nnamdi Asomugha, Shonda Rhimes, Tyler Perry, Morris Chestnut, Yvette Lee Bowser and several other other stars Washington in Perry’s latest Netflix film “The Six Triple Eight” , were on hand to honor the memory of their colleague and friend.
“(And) when I think about the life she has lived as an activist, as a woman, as a person, as a person of color, the character that she represents for all to see, I am incredibly proud of her.” Perry said at the podium.
In her remarks, Washington shared a special anecdote about the importance that the Hollywood Walk of Fame has in her family, not just for her father, but additionally for her uncle, Cliff Moss, who was one of several members of her maternal family who emigrated from Jamaica to New York. Decades later, he captured his own moment on the Hollywood Walk of Fame while vacationing in Los Angeles.
“…(H)e found a star with his name on it somewhere on the Walk of Fame,” recalls Washington. “Maybe it was Jerry Moss or Elizabeth Moss. We don’t actually know who it was because he used his body and camera angle to obscure the name or the real recipient… all that was visible was his proud smile and the “Mech” surrounded by a star. “
“He got here all the way from Simpson Street (in the Bronx, New York) to Hollywood because, like his parents, he had the courage to dream. Mom and pa also taught me to dream,” she added.
As the recipient of the 2,796th star on the Walk of Fame, Washington now wants to meet the dreams of those that might follow the same path
“Now I’m spinning in a galaxy of other stars, all encouraging each other to shine brightly and light the way for others’ dreams,” she said in her speech. “It’s cool for me to imagine a kid named Washington — or maybe named Kerry — using his selfie pose to cover half of my name to make room for his legacy.”

ICEM: Tracee Ellis Ross’s Blunt Ponytail and more – essences

@traceeellisross / Instagram
Warm or cool? Dark or blonde? The celebrities have been divided over the past week, which caused their argument for a lot of beautiful appearances to see what sticks. From the tonal division into eye shadows to a tie between blunt cutlets and hair extension, the most effective moments existed in indecision.
While Jorja Smith and Alva Claire decided to, respectively, on a denim and stone cold eye shadow, red lip of Ayo Edibir, blushing and brown bob suited her warm disposition. Very long ARI Lennox water waves mean long blond hair (combined with small pink makeup).
On the opposite hand, Tracee Ellis Ross and the star Essence March/April Tyra Banks was consistent: blunt and raw cuts are an unexpected trend this season. But Rihanna, noticed at Fenty Beauty, meeting in Paris, preferred to stay classic. Her powdered under the eyes combined with a standard lip: a dark insole and a brand new one Gloss bomb lip oil In “Rose Amber”.
If you missed this, have a look at the 11 best moments of the great thing about celebrities from the week.

Mara Brock Akil wants to make a movie “Girls” – only needs financing
Until now, the cultural trace of the story of Mara Brock Akil is undeniable. Her latest series, “Forever”, had all of us in our feelings last weekend (including this creator). But for fans of her earlier work “Girlfriends”, “Love Is” and “The Game” there’s also also also one query that never disappears: Will we ever receive the precise sending for ladies “girls”?
Apparently Akil wants it as much as we do.
In a recent seat in “Sherri” Akil said she was trying to revive the movie “Girls”
“I want to tell this story … I want to write an epic film (” Girls “); I tried to tell this story, “Akil admitted before I revealed that its biggest road blockade on this project was financing.
“So I have a good idea for us now,” she added. “Where is your phone? Do you know someone who has $ 50 million on your phone? Do we have five people who have $ 10 million? Do we have 10 million (people) who have five?”
Considering what variety of viewers Akil loves the work, social media users were shocked, hearing that the creator of “girls” is trying to get financing their projects.
“From the CV Mara Brock Akil should not be begging you to invest in her stories. This is crazy,” commented one user About the actual fact.
“If sex and city got two spinoff films, we can finish girls, someone will open their wallet” Another user wrote on Twitter.
While Shepherd was joking about “handing over the album” to finance the film, she also emphasized how difficult it’s to get projects in Hollywood, even throughout the case of essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably probably essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially probably probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably the most respected names in the game. The premiere of “Girlfriends” in 2000 and ran for eight seasons, giving us 172 episodes with the participation of Tracee Ellis Ross, Golden Brooks, Jill Marie Jones, Persia White and Reggie Hayes. The program suddenly stopped in 2008 through the writers’ strike, leaving too many unanswered fans about Joan, Toni, Maya, Lynn and William.
Still, Akil didn’t lose hope. And she didn’t lose gratitude for the fans base, which stays to be going to history.
“I really want to thank the audience because you didn’t let go and (I),” Akil added.
