Vergara will be honoured with the 2551st star on the Hollywood attraction on May 7.

Vergara’s star will be placed next to her on-screen husband, Ed O’Neill, outside Marshall’s department store on Hollywood Boulevard.

After her acceptance speech, Miss Piggy will sit down for a 20-minute video retrospective of her career and a conversation with Gloria Steinem.
Speaking about her award, Miss Piggy said “Moi is thrilled—but frankly, not surprised to be receiving this Sackler Center First Award”.
“It is truly wonderful to be celebrated and share this honor with fellow legends, role models, and pioneers of female fabulosity. We rock!”
Of course, Kermit the Frog will join is porcine paramour at the event.
