Allow us to explain. Why nothing less than a retractable domed roof, subterranean stables, and a spectator platform will do for Mrs. Spielberg. The couple lives in another neighborhood near Brentwood and apparently does not plan to reside on the 2.8-acre site where the eyesore, er, construction is planned.
Neighbors say they'll fight the proposal unless it's toned down.
A city hearing to consider the matter is set for Jan. 4. As for Spielberg's star, that will be bestowed in front of an approving crowd sometime in 2001. Also just announced to receive a Walk of Fame star is former Los Angeles Laker Magic Johnson . He is being honored in the movie category, having launched the Magic Johnson Theaters chain in 1995, which brought multiplex theaters to urban neighborhoods without national theater chains. Recent additions to the famed Hollywood sidewalk include Sting and Edward James Olmos.
