Holy Star on the Walk of Fame, Batman!



The fan-funded documentary "Starring Adam West" now has an ending.

The project, currently in the works, chronicles the efforts to get TV's original "Batman," Adam West, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And now, it's official: West will be receiving the honor in 2012.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced 2012's Walk of Fame star recipients, including West. Here's the full list:

MOTION PICTURES:
Jennifer Aniston, Vin Diesel, Scarlett Johansson, John Lasseter, Malcolm McDowell, Sumner Redstone, Kate Winslet and Richard Burton (posthumous)

TELEVISION:
Valerie Bertinelli, Matt Groening, Mariska Hargitay, Patricia Heaton, Marg Helgenberger, Walter Koenig, and Adam West

RECORDING:
Pepe Aguilar, America, Boyz II Men, Hal David, David Foster, Vince Gill, Jennifer Lopez, Ann and Nancy Wilson (Heart) and Barry White (posthumous)

RADIO:
Ellen K.
Boyz II Men? Seriously, way to stay current, there, Chamber of Commerce.

The Adam West movement reminds me of the move a few years ago (spearheaded by KROQ's Kevin & Bean) to get a star for Rodney Bingenheimer (read about it here).
