Vanessa Williams unveiling walk of fame star

Ugly Betty co-star Vanessa Williams is receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame this morning (March 19th) in Los Angeles. The singer and former Miss America is the 2,331st person to receive the sidewalk honor, and she'll celebrate the milestone with family, friends, and co-workers at today's 11:30 a.m. unveiling. Williams' star is located in front of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, home of swanky parties and celebrity sightings.

Williams plays conniving magazine editor Wilhelmina Slater on Ugly Betty. Her other movie and TV credits include Boomtown, Shaft, Light It Up, and The Kid Who Loved Christmas. She's also performed on stage a number of times throughout her career in productions such as Into The Woods, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Carmen Jones, the off-Broadway drama One Man Band, and the Los Angeles production of Checkmates.

Williams turned 44 yesterday (March 18th).
