New Celebs on Walk of Fame



Clear some space on the pavement and get ready to hear from some thankful stars: The newest additions to the Hollywood Walk of Fame have been named.

OPrah, Gwyneth, Reese Witherspoon, Penélope Cruz, Ed Harris, Ridley Scott, Sissy Spacek, Donald Sutherland (his son Kiefer beat him to the honor back in 2009), Kenny Ortega and the Muppets.

Next year will also mark the first time three stars are laid in one ceremony, as Bruce Dern, ex-wife Diane Ladd and their daughter Laura Dern are all also slated to receive stars.

On the television side, along with Oprah the current first lady of prime-time, Tina Fey, leads the pack, and will be cementing her status, as it were, with sitcom vet Danny DeVito, Simon Cowell's fellow American Idol kingmaker Simon Fuller, erstwhile Al Bundy turned Modern Familyman Ed O'Neill, West Wing and ER exec producer John Wells, COPS' OG bad boy creator John Langley and the genre-spanning go-to awards host and darn funny dude Neil Patrick Harris.

As for the musically-inclined honorees, Melissa Etheridge will be getting starred, as will rock god and friend to milliners Slash, country crossover superstars Rascal Flatts, the Go-Go's, will.i.am, Los Tigres Del Norte and Bebe & Cece Winans.


The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has not yet announced dates for the star unveilings.
