A slew of A-listers—and one animated icon—are gearing up for a different kind of starring role.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce unveiled its slate of 25 stars set to receive, well, stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame next year in the categories of motion pictures, television, recording and radio.
The motion picture category welcomes the biggest influx of stars: Robert Downey Jr., Cameron Diaz, Hugh Jackman, Ralph Fiennes, Sir Ben Kingsley, William H. Macy, Tim Burton, Leslie Caron and Tinkerbell (the Peter Pan character, not Paris Hilton's dog...though, never say never) comprise this year's class of 2009.
On the television side, reality show über-producer Mark Burnett is set for immortality in pavement, as are veteran sitcom writer Chuck Lorre (Two and a Half Men), Desperate Housewives' Felicity Huffman (who, with hubby Macy, will be receiving his and hers stars next year), CSI's William Petersen, The Closer's Kyra Sedgwick and—have mercy—John Stamos.
The recording honorees include Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Shakira, the Village People, Rush, Dave Koz, the Miracles and Doug Morris.
Radio welcomes just two new entrants to the famed walk, Bill Handel and comic-actor and all-around Simpsons power player Harry Shearer.
No dates have yet been set for the individual star unveilings.
