2013 Walk of Fame Honorees
6/22/2012
by Austin Siegemund-Broka

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced the 24 honorees who will be given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a list light on motion picture names but inclusive of radio and live performance figures.

Marg Helgenberger, who was honored with a star last year, announced the names at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on Friday. No dates were given for when the stars would be placed.

Among the musicians selected are two of the biggest boy bands of the ’90s: Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block, as boy bands like One Direction and The Wanted are currently making a resurgence.

And joining the cadre of posthumously awarded musicians -- Buddy Holly was honored in 2011, Roy Orbison in 2010 and George Harrison in 2009, among others -- are Janis Joplin and Luther Vandross.

The Backstreet Boys
Jennifer Hudson
Jane’s Addiction
Janis Joplin (Posthumous)
New Kids On The Block
Usher Raymond IV
Thalia
Luther Vandross (Posthumous)

Honorees in radio was also well-represented: “Shotgun Tom” Kelly and Steve Harvey.

Harvey also wrote the book that spawned this year’s Think Like A Man.
