Oscar-winner Gwyneth Paltrow has been honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Country singers Faith Hill and Tim McGraw were on hand on Monday to help Paltrow celebrate the unveiling of her star on the sidewalk outside Madame Tussauds celebrity wax museum.

The unveiling comes in advance of the December 22 release in Los Angeles and Nashville of Paltrow's new film, Country Strong, co-starring McGraw.

Paltrow won the best actress Academy Award for her role in 1998's Shakespeare in Love.
