‘s star continues to shine -- the ‘American Idol’ creator received the 2,441st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame just as the reality competition wraps its 10th season.

Fuller was presented with the star Monday in front of W Hollywood hotel on Hollywood Boulevard, flanked by ‘American Idol’ host Ryan Seacrest, judges Randy Jackson and Jennifer Lopez and the entire Season 10 cast -- whose finale kicks off Tuesday night.

‘You deserve this more than anyone I know,’ said ‘Idol’ winner Carrie Underwood, who presented him with the award. The 51-year-old British entrepreneur also created ‘So You Think You Can Dance.’

‘Whenever I see that star, I won’t see my name, I’ll see all names of the people I’ve worked [with] and all those amazing artists and people that have helped me achieve this stuff,’ Fuller said, specifically thanking former ‘Idol’ judge and producer Simon Cowell. ‘What you did for ‘American Idol,’ I personally will never forget.’

Lopez’s hubby Marc Anthony and designer Victoria Beckham, whom Fuller managed when she was with the Spice Girls, also attended with son Brooklyn Beckham. ‘American Idol’ alum Kris Allen and David Cook joined the festivities. Fuller’s wife, Natalie Swanston, was on hand for the presentation too.

Singer Chaka Khan received the 2,440th star earlier this month at a ceremony that included Stevie Wonder and music producer Benny Medina.

Tony Danza, Sharon Stone, Berry Gordy Jr. and Jerry Weintraub attended the ceremony for Weintraub’s wife Jane Morgan, who received the 2,439th star.

‘Criminal Minds’ star Joe Mantegna received the 2,438th star in April joined by Shemar Moore, Kirsten Vangsness, A.J. Cook, Rachel Nichols, Andy Garcia, Jean Smart and Dennis Franz.
