The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce have announced next year’s Hollywood Walk of Fame honorees.

Motion picture honorees will be Russell Crowe, Adam Sandler, James Cameron, John Cusack, Colin Firth, Gale Anne Hurd, Alan Menken, Randy Newman, Emma Thompson and Mark Wahlberg.

The TV honorees are Bill Maher, Chris Berman, Jon Cryer, Peter Graves, Jimmy Kimmel, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Sam Waterston.

Recording artists to be recognized are Ringo Starr, Bryan Adams, the Funk Brothers, Alan Jackson, Chaka Khan, Van Morrison, Marco Antonio Solis, ZZ Top and the late Roy Orbison.

Andrea Bocelli and the Cirque du Soleil’s Guy Liberte will represent live performance and theater.

These all seem fairly well deserved, but Mark Wahlberg, really.  I guess he’s famous, but the only good thing he’s ever done was Boogie Nights, and by all accounts he was a total dick on set.  At least that’s the way John C. Reilly tells it.
