NICOLE KIDMAN - LONDON LAUNCHES WALK OF FAME

NICOLE KIDMAN, SIR ELTON JOHN and THE BEATLES are among 100 legendary British and Commonwealth stars to be honoured when London launches it's own Hollywood-style walk of fame next month (SEP05).

The Avenue Of The Stars will see silver plaques embedded into the streets of the capital's bustling Covent Garden - providing a permanent free tourist attraction.

LORD OLIVIER, DAME EDNA EVERAGE, REX HARRISON, ERNIE WISE and ERIC MORECAMBE are also rumoured to be taking prime spots on the ceremony on 18 September (05).

More names will be added each year until the avenue begins to rival the tribute to 2,000 stars which runs along Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles.
