The honorees for the 2014 Hollywood Walk of Fame have been set -- and two will be receiving their stars posthumously.

Rapper Tupac Shakur and comedian Phil Hartman will be honored on the Walk of Fame, which recognizes professionals in film, television, radio and recording industries, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced. (Shakur died in 1996 at 25; Hartman died in 1998 at 49.)

For motion pictures, Orlando Bloom, Ray Dolby, Sally Field, Jack H. Harris, Jessica Lange, Matthew McConaughey, Liam Neeson, Paul Mazursky and Tom Sherak will be recognized.

In television, Dabney Coleman, Kaley Cuoco, Claire Danes, Giancarlo Esposito, Deidre Hall, Cheryl Hines, Don Mischer, Tavis Smiley and Hartman will be the recipients.

Motown songwriters and producers Holland-Dozier-Holland, Jeff Lynne, Mexican band Mana, Ray Parker Jr., Katy Perry, Rick Springfield and Shakur will be awarded stars for recording.

In radio, Renan Almendarez Coello will be the lone honoree.

"We have a great mix of celebrities and industry executives who have made Hollywood what it is today -- one of the greatest entertainment destinations in the world," said David Green, chairman of the Walk of Fame selection committee. "The new selections will bring great joy and fond memories for those millions who visit Hollywood each year!"

Dates for the Walk of Fame ceremonies have not been scheduled. Honorees have up to five years to schedule their ceremonies from date of selection, otherwise they will expire.

The Hollywood Gossip reports that Tupac Shakur will get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this year. He is the fourth rapper to be given the honor, which comes almost seventeen years after he died.

He was a rapper, poet, activist and actor. Since his death he is still very popular. Statues in Geogia and Germany have been built for him. A Tupac hologram performed at Coachella in 2012. His mother Afeni Shakur, founded the Tupac Amaru Shakur foundation in his honor. He's also been the subject of lectures at UC-Berkeley, Harvard University, SUNY-Buffalo, Northeastern University and others.

This year's recipients include Katy Perry, Rick Springfield, Orlando Bloom, Jennifer Lopez, Matthew McConaughey and Phil Hartman (posthumous).

I posted the thread already.

Do you want to merge it or should I finally do that. :-/

go for it if you can

I miss tupac.I really Wish he never died its a damn shame because I really just got in to him he became a good actor and I love his movies such as Poetic Justice and Juice.Theres so many people that I wish tupac had the chance to work with but I hope all these people learn from tupac and biggie that being in a gang is never a good thing or beefing because it can get you killed.

Done.

That isn't that hard..

yay for Mana & Rick Springfield!

Some of these people are getting their stars really late [Sally Field and Jessica Lange] and some are getting them really early [Katy Perry]..

some of them sure are, Sally and Jessica should have received one a while back.
