HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA — A legend in the rap game, Calvin “Snoop Dogg” Broadus, Jr. is set to have his name chiseled into the famous sidewalk of American entertainment history.

According to Variety, Snoop will be honored on Monday, November 19, by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. The ceremony will take place on the Hollywood Boulevard strip, and he’ll receive the 2,651^st star to be awarded by the city.

While his award category is for “Recording,” Snoop Dogg is valued for his all-around, life-long accomplishments — including those outside of the entertainment industry, itself.

For instance, Ana Martinez — producer for the Hollywood Walk of Fame — states the following regarding the honoree:

“Snoop Dogg is one of those people who can do anything. He raps, he acts, he hosts a television show, he cooks, and helps community kids with his philanthropic work. He is a man of the ages, and we welcome him to our Hollywood Walk of Fame.”

According to the Walk of Fame‘s official website, Jimmy Kimmel will be on-site to help honor the famed star — along with Leron Gubler (president and CEO of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce), Dr. Dre, and Quincy Jones.

FYI: If you’d like to live stream the event, it will be available at 2:30 EST on that date. Just click this link.

The official source also notes that Snoop’s wife, Shante Broadus, and family will be among honored guests.

ON TOP OF THAT

Not only is Snoop Dogg getting his star on the Walk of Fame, but he’s also celebrating the 25^th anniversary of his debut, classic album, Doggystyle. Originally, this album released in November 1993.

The source mentions as follows.

“Since 1993, Snoop Dogg has released 18 studio albums, sold over 40-million albums worldwide, reached No. 1 on Billboard charts internationally and received nearly 20 GRAMMY®nominations. He has set records with his seminal album Doggystyle, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and sold over 800,000 copies in the first week.

With all the contributions Snoop has made to the industry, as well as the community through charities, foundations, and youth guidance, Calvin “Snoop Dogg” Broadus, Jr. is more than deserving of this award and acknowledgement.

So, a huge congratulations goes out to the D-O-Double-G!

He Knows A Pedophile When He Sees One

In 1993, Jackson was accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy. Feldman, who was once preyed upon by an industry figure when he was a rising star in film, know knows a pedophile when he sees one. Jackson never fit the bill.

“I know the difference between pedophiles and not pedophiles because I’ve been molested,” Feldman told authorities over two decades ago.

Feldman is determined to get his story out. During a recent sit-down with Matt Lauer on the Today show, he vowed to produce a feature film where he will expose every entertainment executive, actor, manager, and anyone else he knows who have preyed on children.

A $10 Million Project?

The former child star is trying to raise a whopping $10 million for the project. The budget will cover expenses associated with making the film as well as the legal team and around-the-clock security that he will need to protect himself from these very powerful people until the project is completed.

Lauer asked Feldman why he wouldn’t just go to the police again. The actor said that the statute of limitations had long passed and he couldn’t trust them to follow through on his accusations.

“If anyone wants to go back to 1993 when I was interviewed by the Santa Barbara Police Department, I sat down and I gave them the names,” Feldman told Lauer. “They’re on record. They have all of this information.”

Michael Was The Big Brother He Never Had

Feldman has vowed to get the truth out come hell or high water. Not only does he plan to put a stop to the abuse of children, he wants to clear Michael’s name once and for all. In a CNN interview from 2013, Feldman told Piers Morgan exactly what their relationship was.

“He was the big brother I never had quite honestly,” Feldman told Morgan. “He was everything to me as a kid. He taught me about loving animals, vegetarianism, animal rights, environmental issues, caring about your fans, how to treat your fans…”

Feldman went on to talk about how they bonded over the fact that, as children, they both had to get up and go to work everyday. He and Michael were robbed of their childhoods. The same year, Feldman told Huff Post Live that Michael was a victim of a witch hunt.

“He was not that guy,” he said. “He was a guy who was so innocent, so kind of sheltered, you couldn’t even swear around him. You couldn’t talk about drugs. You couldn’t talk about nude women. You couldn’t talk about sex. You couldn’t talk about anything because he was a very religious man.”

If Feldman’s movie is made, Hollywood will never be the same. He will expose a culture that may finally hold who he sees as the real bad guys accountable. And that would be a very good thing.

This whole thing with Harvey Weinstein is giving me PTSD. Why? Because this kind of thing happened to ME. (1/Cont.)

On Tuesday, October 10, Crews took to Twitter to finally tell the world of his own sexual assault encounter.

It happened last year at an entertainment function. Terry says he and his wife were attending the event, when suddenly, a “high-level Hollywood executive” walked over to him and grabbed him by the genitals.

Mind you, this was in front of his wife.

Jumping back I said What are you doing?! My wife saw everything n we looked at him like he was crazy. He just grinned like a jerk. (3/cont.)

I was going to kick his ass right then— but I thought twice about how the whole thing would appear. (4/cont.)

“240 lbs. Black Man stomps out Hollywood Honcho” would be the headline the next day. (5/cont.)

— Terry Crews (@terrycrews) October 10, 2017

Only I probably wouldn’t have been able to read it because I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN JAIL. So we left.

— Terry Crews (@terrycrews) October 10, 2017

And given the way things are going these days, Terry Crews’ conclusion would’ve been accurate.

That would’ve been the headline (or worse), and it probably would’ve been accompanied by several angles to Crews’ arrest.

BUT THERE’S MORE TO THE STORY

Terry mentions that the Hollywood executive called him soon after to apologize for his actions.

However, the exec didn’t offer Crews an explanation of why he was sexually groped in the first place.

Yet with the way the industry is set up, Terry decided not to pursue it further. He said he felt the industry would’ve ostracized him for coming forth about being assaulted.

This especially being the case since the one who assaulted him holds a lot of power in Hollywood.

I let it go. And I understand why many women who this happens to let it go. (10/cont.)

— Terry Crews (@terrycrews) October 10, 2017

Who’s going 2 believe you? ( few) What r the repercussions?(many) Do u want 2 work again? (Yes) R you prepared 2b ostracized?(No)(11/cont.)

UNDERSTANDING VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT

According to Terry Crews, he definitely empathizes with women who choose to stay silent for similar reasons regarding sexual assault experiences. In a tweet, Crews mentions as follows.

“But sumtimes Uhav2 wait & compare notes w/ others who’ve been victimized in order 2gain a position of strength.”

As his public message came to an end, he noted that this particular executive knew exactly who he was addressing.

Moreover, he further encouraged sexual assault victims that they’re not alone in the fight.

Hollywood is not the only business we’re this happens, and to the casualties of this behavior— you are not alone. (15/cont.)

— Terry Crews (@terrycrews) October 10, 2017

Hopefully, me coming forward with my story will deter a predator and encourage someone who feels hopeless. (16/end)

— Terry Crews (@terrycrews) October 10, 2017

All in all, Terry is definitely the bigger man by keeping his first instincts reserve and not pummeling the daylights out of that “high-level Hollywood executive.”

Sometimes, you have to think passed the moment and see how your actions, responses, or reactions might affect your life…as well as those around you.

At the end of the day, all you can control are your own responses.
