LOS ANGELES — For Kelly Clarkson, her Walk of Fame ceremony was a homecoming.
Twenty years ago this month, Clarkson wowed Hollywood as the inaugural winner of "American Idol" in 2002. On Monday, she returned to the famed Los Angeles boulevard to celebrate not only herself but also the team that launched her stardom.
"I think [it's] important to have not just 'yes' people around you but people that actually love you and care about you and give their honest advice. I've always welcomed that, and I think that is why I'm here today," Clarkson, 40, said upon receiving the Walk of Fame's 2,733rd star.
