New inductees to the Hollywood Walk of Fame have been announced! There are some who we can't believe don't have a star already (Ron Howard?!), and some rather surprising choices, as well (The Backstreet Boys?). Marg Helgenberger, who received a star last year, announced the names at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel yesterday. All the celebs honored commit to pay $30,000 in costs and fees (which kind of takes the fun out of it, wouldn't you say?).
