Quentin Tarantino gets Hollywood star - who else is on the Walk Of Fame for 2016?

Quentin Tarantino, Kathy Bates and Bruno Mars are among the celebrities set to see their stardom cemented in 2016.

They have been confirmed as some of next year’s famous faces due to get a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, announced this week by the Hollywood Chamber Of Commerce.

Ever wondered how the stars are chosen? Well, it depends on fans or the celebrities’ reps putting them forward for consideration and if they fit into one of five categories – motion pictures, TV, recording, radio or live theatre – they will be considered by a committee to be deemed worthy of a space.

However, stardom comes at a price – 30,000 dollars (£18,960) to be precise, the cost of a spot on the sidewalk, which each recipient is expected to pick up the bill for themselves.

Take a look at who we expect to see unveiling their star next year.
