Paul Walker, Jonas Brothers and Uma Thurman to receive Hollywood Walk of Fame stars

Uma Thurman, the Jonas Brothers and the late Paul Walker will be honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

They are part of a new list of 24 entertainment professionals selected to recognised on the famous boulevard in Los Angeles next year.

Oscar-nominated actress Juanita Moore and Fast and Furious film franchise star Paul Walker are due to be honoured posthumously.

Walker was just 40 when he died as the Porsche Carrera GT he was travelling in crashed at more than 160kph and burst into flames in California in 2013.

The announcements were made by chairwoman of the Walk of Fame Selection Panel, Ellen K, on Friday.

As well as Walker, celebrities to be honoured in the Motion Pictures category include Vince Vaughn, Ludacris, Bill Pullman and John Waters.

The Jonas Brothers will receive their star in the Recording category, as will Lenny Kravitz, Marc Anthony, Sheila E, Irving Azoff, Blake Shelton and Charlie Wilson.

US singer Jenni Rivera will be honoured posthumously in the category.

John Favreau is among the honourees in the TV category alongside include Mindy Kaling, Martin Lawrence, Ralph Macchio, Garrett Morris and Ellen Pompeo.

International pianist Lang Lang joins Melba Moore and US a cappella group Pentatonix to receive stars in the Live Theatre/Live Performance.

"The panel thoughtfully selected these talented individuals and we can't wait to celebrate them as they become part of Hollywood's history with the unveiling of their star on the world's most famous walkway," K said.

Dates have not been scheduled for the star ceremonies and recipients have two years to schedule their ceremonies from the date of selection before they expire.
