00:09 The first time that I ever met Gwen was in 2014.
00:13 She wasn't like any other famous person that I had ever met before.
00:18 She drove herself to work in a black minivan with car seats in it.
00:24 [LAUGH]
00:27 She didn't roll in with security, she came in with a baby and
00:32 two little boys, which at the time worked like security because
00:37 nobody was going near, it was chaos.
00:40 [LAUGH]
00:44 It was clear to me that she was a mother first and
00:48 foremost over anything else in the world.
00:51 >> [APPLAUSE]
00:52 >> That was her number one job.
00:55 And now standing here almost ten years later after I first met her,
01:00 I can say without question that being a mother is still
01:04 the most important thing in her life.
01:07 >> [APPLAUSE]
01:09 >> And I gotta tell you all,
01:12 that's rare in this business.
01:15 But today, it's nice to see her honored for
01:19 her side project, which is being one of the biggest stars in the world.
01:24 >> [APPLAUSE]
01:28 >> In my opinion,
01:29 Gwen is the perfect person to receive a star on the Walk of Fame.
01:32 From music, television, and movies, to fashion and beauty,
01:38 she had risen to the top over and over again with her unique style
01:42 that has made the world fall in love with her, not as much as me though.
01:47 >> [LAUGH]
01:49 >> And then there's that one thing that
01:50 no one can ever explain.
01:52 It's that thing that she was just born with that will make you stop and go, wait.
01:58 Who is that?
01:59 What's her name?
02:01 What does she do?
02:03 Why do I love her already?
02:05 What the hell?
02:05 >> [LAUGH]
02:07 >> That's the thing that God gives you,
02:09 and without question, God gave Gwen an extra scoop of it.
02:15 What makes me the happiest for
02:17 Gwen though is that this all started with a song that she wrote.
02:22 Songwriting is her favorite thing to do, and
02:27 she happens to be exceptionally talented at it.
02:30 Yes.
02:32 If you take a look at Gwen's discography over the years,
02:38 from the early days of No Doubt to her solo records,
02:41 there's one common denominator on 99% of the songs.
02:45 Gwen Stefani, the songwriter.
02:47 Gwen has blessed a lot of people's lives with her songwriting talent in more ways
02:53 than one.
02:54 >> [APPLAUSE]
02:57 >> Now I know firsthand that it takes a lot
02:59 of people to make a hit record, but
03:01 none of this would have ever happened without Gwen Stefani, the songwriter.
03:07 So congratulations to my all time favorite songwriter on your star.
03:12 You deserve this, and I love you.
03:13 >> [APPLAUSE]
