Courtesy of our friend Bill from California, a sad news note.  Unfortunately, he sent me an article written by a news organization which shall not be named, so I had to go to the Search Engine That Rules The World, and found this from the UK's Independent:

Seven times the chimp's fans have asked the local Chamber of Commerce, which runs the tourist attraction, to give Cheeta a marble star in that legendary two-and-a-half-mile pavement. Seven times, the Chamber's admissions committee has waded through the carefully-typed application, only to give it the proverbial raspberry.

The most recent rejection came yesterday, when 2009's "walk of famers" were formally unveiled. The 25 new recruits included several bona fide global megastars – Tim Burton, Cameron Diaz, Robert Downey Jr, Ralph Fiennes, Shakira, The Village People, "Sir" Ben Kingsley – and a selection of relative nobodies, including one Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, and even a local radio jock by the name of Bill Handel.

The Independent's article is much more fun to read than the one from the news organization which shall not be named, anyway.
