Country music star Blake Shelton was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, with wife Gwen Stefani there to support him. The event was full of star power, with Shelton being recognized for his philanthropic efforts. He also won a role in a future Mark Wahlberg film through an auction at the event.
Shelton was honored at the 27th annual Power of Love Gala hosted by Keep Memory Alive, an organization dedicated to brain disorder research and support. He was recognized for his charitable work, which includes supporting veterans, children's hospitals, food banks, and disaster relief efforts.
The event included an enticing live auction, which Shelton took part in and won. He bid on the opportunity to be in a future Mark Wahlberg film as a walk-on role, and he shelled out $40,000 for the offer. Since 2020, Wahlberg has produced six of his own films in which he's also starred, and he has several more movies in the works.
After spending some money, Shelton performed three songs before inviting his wife, Gwen Stefani, to join him on stage. They performed their duet, "Nobody But You." Stefani praised her husband's talent and generosity, saying, "His heart is as big as his voice. His talent is obvious and he lights up the room and brings a smile to everyone he meets that makes us all love him so much."
Shelton joked about his potential transition into the movie business, saying, "I don't know if you guys saw the auction earlier. This is maybe the last time I'm ever gonna perform country music. I'm a movie star now. I'm not f------ around."
The career change would come at an opportune time for Shelton, who recently left his coaching position at "The Voice" after 23 seasons. He recently said that he feels "better about that decision" and that he would only return to the show if the original four coaches were reunited.
Shelton's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a testament to his success in the music industry and his dedication to giving back to the community. His generosity and talent continue to inspire fans and fellow artists alike.
