AP / HOLLYWOOD California: Ariel Sharon has been awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The award was accepted by Saul Lipschitz, who is described by Israeli newspapers as a family friend. Lipschitz said he was honored to receive the prize on behalf of the man he termed, “A great soul who dedicated his life to caring and compassion.”
Lipschitz said the framed plaque that is awarded along with the sidewalk star will be placed by Sharon's bed.
Sharon himself remains in stable condition at the Chaim Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv, having suffered a massive stroke on January 4, 2006. Doctors classify the revered Man of Peace as in a “persistent vegetative state.”
The Hollywood Walk of Fame is maintained by the Hollywood Historic Trust. Its Director, Aaron Roth, was asked why Sharon was so honored, having never been in “show business.”
“It’s true that Ariel was not publicly involved in Hollywood’s industries,” Roth answered, “but he provided entertainment for millions of people around the world. If a star can be awarded to Donald Trump, then surely we must honor a man who stood for all that Hollywood has become. Besides, Ariel maintained cordial relationships with most Hollywood celebrities, and with all of its top producers. In a very real sense, he is Hollywood.”
Most of today’s top celebrities attended the award ceremony, but Sharon’s two sons, Omri and Gilad, were unable to appear, citing previous engagements. Omri is reportedly in Dubai, while Gilad is vacationing on the Italian Riviera.
Speakers at the award ceremony included Britney Spears, who was awarded her first Walk of Fame star at age 21, and who Ariel Sharon always had a personal fondness for.
Sharon’s star is located between the sidewalk stars for Mickey Mouse and Woody Woodpecker.

"Money" has no value - people do.
It's not far from the truth.
Two sidewalk stars are created each month, and the recipients become more and more ridiculous.
And yes, Donald Trump got a star, and Britney Spears got a star at age 21.
Absurd.
The total "Walk of Fame" is a little less than a mile in length when all the stars are added up.
Hollywood has mounted surveillance cemeras along the Walk, ostendibly to prevent people from using a jackhammer to chip out stars of widely beloved people (like Sharon).
Satire is never far from the truth, is it?

It's almost as if the butcher is singing "don't stand so close to me".......what was he afraid of.....?
..great satire! if i lived nearby, i wouldn't need a jackhammer to smash that bullseye!
..perhaps we'll consider it his tombstone!

I'm saving them in memory, they are so direct and truthful!
I see the photo differently.
It's as though the black man and woman took one step to the side, while thinking of Sharon, "Man, that fat pig stinks!"
they got what they deserve.
AZ "The total "Walk of Fame" is a little less than a mile in length when all the stars are added up."
These so called stars are being humiliated even in this world by people trampling with their dirty shoes over their names. Now imagine how would those stars be trampled over in the Hereafter. Why? Just for their artistic services to Hollywood ziomasters.
