We are halfway through with 2024, but we don’t have to wait any longer to find out who will be getting stars on The Hollywood Walk of Fame next year.
Niecy Nash, Joe Mantegna, and Jimmy Jam announced next year’s recipients today.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame Class of 2025 are:
In the category of MOTION PICTURES: John Carpenter, Jessica Chastain, Bill Duke, Robert Englund, Emilio Estevez, Colin Farrell, Jane Fonda, Nia Long, Lisa Lu, Glynn Turman and Toni Vaz
In the category of TELEVISION: Fran Drescher, Lauren Graham, Bill Nye, Molly Shannon, Sherri Shepherd, Courtney B. Vance, Chris Wallace, Trey Parker and Matt Stone (double ceremony)
In the category of RECORDING: Fantasia, Depeche Mode, Los Bukis, The B-52s, Green Day, The Isley Brothers, Busta Rhymes, George Strait, Keith Urban, WAR and Prince (Posthumous)
In the category of LIVE THEATRE/LIVE PERFORMANCE: Misty Copeland and Alan Cumming
In the category of RADIO: Adam Carolla
In the category of Sports Entertainment: David Beckham and Orel Hershiser
Dates for their star ceremonies will be revealed at a later date. However, they cannot wait too long because they only have two years to accept the honor. If they don’t set a date by then, they will lose their star.
BTW am I the only one who thinks Prince would not have wanted this honor? It just doesn’t seem like something he would want.
UPDATE: John Carpenter had the best reaction, “Star on The Hollywood walk of fame?? There must be some mistake.”
