TV host Ellen DeGeneres, Pink's husband Carey Hart and their two kids turned out in support of the pop star at the ceremony on the city's fabled Hollywood Boulevard. "I feel like a lot of people thought I would only make it to the walk of shame but here I am," joked Pink, when she took to the stage to address the audience. In a speech, DeGeneres, a longtime friend of Pink's, made jokes about her friend and recalled the first time she had seen the singer's 'butt." "You know I still remember the first time I saw her butt. She was flying over me at one of her concerts and I was like that is a good butt. I ask for those same seats at every single concert," joked DeGeneres. Pink's star ceremony comes just five days before the Grammys where she is nominated for best pop vocal album for "Beautiful Trauma.'' "Well, Carey, my husband, makes me tin foil Grammys every time I lose so I am very excited to have a new tin foil Grammy, my 17th tin foil Grammy," said Pink, when asked about her expectations for the Grammys. Since she made her debut in 2000, Pink has so far released seven studio albums, a greatest hits album and some more than 50 million albums. She has had 15 singles in the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, including four at No. 1. She has been nominated for 20 Grammys and has won three.
