Hot off his NASCAR Grand Marshal gig at last week's Daytona 500, multi-hyphenate James Franco will be honored with the 2,492nd star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this Thursday. Friends Seth Rogen (his Pineapple Express co-star) and Sam Raimi (his Oz: The Great and Powerful director) will speak at the 11:30am ceremony, which is going down in front of the El Capitan Theatre on Hollywood Blvd.

Given the newly blonde, voluminous coiffed Franco's undeniable fanfare, the event will be livestreamed for your viewing pleasure. Tune in here on Thursday or camp out if you prefer to watch it in the flesh.
