AceShowbiz - Weird Al Yankovic was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday, August 27. The singer and satirist couldn't seem to hide his excitement as he struck a slew of weird poses, staying true to his name.
During his speech at the National Radio Hall of Fame, Yankovic asked people not to destroy his star, a reference to the recent vandalization of President Donald Trump's star. "I'm sorry I even have to say this -- I don't want to even have to ask this -- please, please don't pickaxe my star, okay, guys?" Yankovic said, earning laughter from the audience. "I mean, I know it's all the rage these days, but that's not cool."
He continued, "Unless at some point in the future, I do something unfathomably monstrous and evil in which case, sure fine, go ahead, makes sense. But anything short of that, please limit yourself to spitting and urinating, okay? Have some class, people."
