Not only was yesterday (Jan. 11th) Mary’s 47th birthday, she also got a her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. See her emotional speech…

Mary J. Blige couldn’t hold back her emotional as she got her star yesterday, saying in part:

“I’m so grateful for this star right now because I’ve earned it probably three times. I say that with confidence and not arrogance. I say it because I know that now, and I know my worth, and what this means.”

Congrats, Mary! See pics and video from the beautiful event below:
