A trio of very special ladies made their congratulations known as Billy Bob Thornton received a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame on Thursday.

The father-of-five brought the most recent addition to his family, three-week-old daughter Bella, to the unveiling, striking a pose with the tot above his star. Also on hand was the Monster's Ball actor's girlfriend, and Bella's mum, Connie Angland.

Meanwhile, though they had a famously acrimonious split, the event also appeared to indicate that Billy Bob and ex-wife Angelina Jolie have made amends.

The actor-director, who split from the Tomb Raider beauty in 2003, received a very public thumbs up from his former spouse. Angelina took out a full page advertisement in trade paper Variety which read: "Billy, I love your brilliant mind... Congratulations! With love and respect always, Angie."

Playing down the unexpected message, Billy Bob quipped: "You know, it's funny... I've only met Angie Dickinson once" – referring to the Seventies Police Woman bombshell who shares a name with his former love.
