Georgia native Trisha Yearwood gets her own star on Hollywood Walk of Fame
Trisha Yearwood, who grew up in Monticello, attended the unveiling ceremony in Los Angeles on Monday along with her husband Garth Brooks, fellow country music woman pioneer Reba McEntire and singer Carly Pearce.
CMT host Cody Alan was the master of ceremonies.
'Thank you to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce for the honor of receiving my very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! GratefuI to share this day with my husband, my family and friends, my fabulous TeamTY (that includes my hardworking crew and the loyal friends who've been coming to my shows for all these years!)! Having my buddies @reba and @carlypearce stand by my side during this special moment was icing on the cake! @CodyAlan, you are the best master of ceremonies! You're all stars in my book! xo'
'The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is honored to welcome renowned country singer Trisha Yearwood to the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame,' producer Ana Martinez said. 'Her remarkable talent has touched the hearts of millions around the world.'
Yearwood said she drew inspiration from Patsy Cline and Linda Ronstadt growing up. She moved from Monticello to Nashville to pursue her music career and attend Belmont University.
She released her self-title debut album in 1991. 'She's in Love with the Boy' became the first debut single by a female artist to hit No. 1 on the charts.
Yearwood has since released 14 more studio albums and has sold over 15 million records.

Trisha Yearwood Takes on a New Role With ‘The Mirror'
Just over 30 years ago, country artist Trisha Yearwood took Nashville by storm with her debut 1991 hit single, 'She's in Love With the Boy.' She solidified herself as a household name with classic contemporary country cuts like 'Walkaway Joe.' With 15 studio albums, five top hit singles, and four published cookbooks later, one might think the seasoned country star would slow down. But after encouragement from her family, including her husband country singer-songwriter Garth Brooks, she began working on a music project she never dreamed of tackling: songwriting.

'The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce will be adding Busta Rhymes, one of Hip-Hop's most enduring and electrifying voices, as a new member of Hollywood's iconic sidewalk,' expressed Ana Martinez, Producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. 'His talent and influence are undeniable. His star on the Walk of Fame will stand as a testament to his lasting impact on hip-hop music and how important it is to American culture.'

Busta Rhymes Addresses Former Assistant's Assault Lawsuit: 'It's An Attempted Shake-Down'
Busta Rhymes is denying all claims made by his former assistant, Dashiel Gables, who accused him of assault. In an emailed statement, the rapper said, 'I have been made aware of the claims made by Dashiel Gables, and I completely and categorically deny these allegations.' He also announced plans to file a countersuit. Rhymes — né Trevor Smith Jr. — confirmed that Gables 'assisted' him for 'a very brief period,' but added, 'It did not work out.' He continued, 'Apparently, Dashiel has decided to respond to being let go by manufacturing claims against me in an attempt to attack and damage my reputation. I look forward to proving these allegations false, and am preparing a countersuit, which I am confident will expose this for what it is— an attempted shake-down by a disgruntled former assistant. Ultimately, I am certain the truth will prevail.' Gables (who's also known under the pseudonym Divine) accused the rapper of assault and a hostile work environment. He claimed Smith punched him in the face, causing a swollen eye. He also said he was later fired and blackballed. The civil complaint was filed on Monday (Aug. 4) with Gables claiming the alleged assault stemmed from a January 2025 argument. He said Smith screamed, 'Stay the f**k off your phone,' and then allegedly struck his face twice. 'Defendants constructively terminated plaintiff's employment by repeatedly punching him in the face,' the filing read. Gables was hospitalized and filed a police report. Smith turned himself in to authorities and faced three assault charges. Back then, Gables told the New York Post that his legal team advised him not to speak with the press. He explained, 'Maybe later. Maybe in the future. I can't mess up my case, bro. It's just not going to be worth it. An article in the paper as opposed to a six or seven-million-dollar settlement? I'm not risking it, sorry.' Gables claimed he experienced abuse routinely while working for the rapper. He accused Smith of spitting in employees' faces, smacking them on the back of the head and grabbing their clothes. He also alleged that Smith called him a homophobic slur, mocked his poor hearing, and threatened to 'bloody [his] face.' The news comes on the heels of Busta receiving his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
