Ellen DeGeneres received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday (September 4) to honor her contribution to entertainment as a talk show host, comedian, prime-time television star and the voice of Dory from "Finding Nemo."

"American Idol'' host Ryan Seacrest and ABC late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel joined DeGeneres in at the ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard.

SOUNDBITE Ellen DeGeneres saying (English):

"This is amazing, I mean it's Hollywood Boulevard. I think of the history that is on Hollywood Boulevard and there is so much going on all the time and every time I drive down Hollywood Boulevard I think to myself wow I should have taken Fountain, this is so trafficky."

Partner Portia De Rossi also attended the event.

The ceremony comes six days before the start of the 10th season of her nationally syndicated afternoon talk show, "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," which has won multiple Daytime Emmy awards.
