Which hall of fame, you ask?

Music? Fashion? Style? Nope, this one: Bowling.

Yep, those three stars, along with Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, Jonas Brothers Nick and Joe, Jeff Bridges, Bill Murray, Jimmy Fallon and even Michael Jordan are up for consideration for the Bowling Hall of Fame.

Put on your two-toned shoes to find out more...


The Bowling Proprietors' Association of America (BPAA) and International Bowling Hall of Fame announced the star-studded list of candidates for their Celebrity Bowling Hall of Fame wing.

So how did they choose the contenders—a bowl-off? (No.)

"The roster of candidates includes celebrities who have helped support and popularize bowling, contributing to its status as the nation's number one participatory sport," the statement says.

Despite the celeb-rich list, only lucky celeb will join the pantheon. Fans get to vote for who they believe should be granted "bowling immortality" by voting on www.gobowling.com from today until Aug. 6.

"This star-studded line-up of celebrities speaks to the tremendous relevance and popularity of bowling and showcases the widespread appeal of bowling—as diverse as this group of celebrities is, one thing that they all share in common is public support for the greatest game in the world," said Steve Johnson, executive director of the BPAA.

"We are excited to once again empower the 69 million bowlers throughout the country to have an opportunity to help us create history by making one of these celebrities a part of bowling history."

Last year's winner was country-singin' sweetheart Taylor Swift, who bested Bieber in the competition.

So who will win it this year? [Source: eonline.com]
