Billy Porter has well and truly made his mark on Hollywood - and now it's official.

The Pose star and iconic red carpet-slayer took to Twitter over the weekend to share the news that he will be receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

"I'm in #hollywood for good now bitches!" He tweeted, tagging Variety magazine.

Other queer names being added to the famous walkway - which now boasts over 2,500 celebrities - include Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen.
In a statement, Selection Committee Chair and Walk of Famer Vin Di Bona described this year's inductees as "particularly unique".

“We were able to recognise the talents of thirty-five artists who have already built a legacy here in Hollywood," the producer said.

"Also, we were able to celebrate many new talented artists who’ve touched our hearts in film, television, radio and a variety of musical categories.”
