Cameron Diaz was all smiles as she received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Diaz, one of Hollywood's biggest female stars thanks to movies like There's Something About Mary and Mask, was the 2386th actor to earn a star on the Walk of Fame.
Diaz said she was looking forward to being walked on.
"It will be cool to be under people's feet," she said.
"It really is the place where people can understand exactly that actors are not really stars - they don't exist in the sky, they exist on the ground just like everybody else."
The Walk of Fame is a stretch of sidewalk lining either side of Hollywood Boulevard on which celebrities in music, movies, television and other entertainment arenas have their names emblazoned in brass set into large, pink terrazzo stars.
For celebrities, a star can be a memorial that lasts for decades, and millions of tourists who visit downtown Hollywood annually get to see the names, talk about their favourite actors and actresses and take pictures near the stars.
A committee of the Chamber of Commerce chooses the stars from among hundreds of nominations.
Others soon to receive the honour include singer Shakira, actor Robert Downey Jr, cartoon character Tinkerbell, director Tim Burton, and actors Sir Ben Kingsley, William H. Macy and Hugh Jackman. Among the television stars are Macy's wife, Felicity Huffman, producer Mark Burnett and music stars include Kenny "Baby Face" Edmonds and disco-era band The Village People.
