Video-game giant Mario will be making an appearance in Los Angeles this morning, to deliver a proposal to create a new Interactive Entertainment category on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. That's right, Mario wants a star alongside such celluloid and TV stars as Mickey Rooney and Marlo Thomas. Mario plans to deliver a petition in support of the idea, signed by more than 3,000 people, to honorary Hollywood Mayor Johnny Grant, who will then pass it on to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. If you re in the area around 9 a.m. swing by and take pictures, because I can t afford the trip.
