Actress Nia Long gets star on Hollywood Walk of Fame and gets sweet gesture from Snoop Dogg

Nia got her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame surrounded by her family including sons Massai and Kez and co-stars Larenz Tate, Bill Bellamy, Mike Epps and Terrence Howard. On Wednesday, September 16, the actress received the 2,857th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the Motion Pictures category. Snoop Dogg and Michael producer Graham King joined Long for the ceremony, where the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce also declared September 16th as Nia Long Day. Snoop Dogg made a sweet gesture as he attended the event wearing a jacket covered in Nia's most iconic roles and Nia was pleasantly surprised to see it.  Nia Longs career stretches back to the early 1990s, when her performance in John Singletons Boyz n the Hood introduced her to movie audiences. Roles in Friday, Love Jones and The Best Man followed, while her turn as Lisa Wilkes on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air made her a familiar face in homes around the country.  Snoop Dogg gave a beautiful speech, hailing Nia Long during the ceremony. Hollywood has a way of trying to change you, trying to tell you how to look, tell you how to talk, tell you who you're supposed to be, and sometimes even tell you when your time is up. But Nia? She said, nah, I'm going to be Nia, he said. That's why we're still standing here, celebrating her after all these years.The post Actress Nia Long gets star on Hollywood Walk of Fame and gets sweet gesture from Snoop Dogg appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
