WHAT: While actress and LA philanthropist Ruta Lee is honored with the
2320th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, international golfing
legend, Tiger Woods will be teeing a ball down the length of
Hollywood Boulevard to celebrate the launch of his most recent
electronic golf game. The two momentous events will occur 50
feet from each other, tomorrow, October, 10, 2006.

While the scheduling snafu is the first of its' kind in the
history of the Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremonies,
organizers will try to make lemonade out of lemons and each
event will occur side by side.

"I'm sure that good sportsmanship will come to play," laughed
Ms. Lee, "this is a lifetime achievement for me, and just
another tee-off for Tiger!"

Just as Tiger tee's off, Ms. Lee's alma mater, The Hollywood
High School band, will parade on Hollywood Boulevard across
Tiger's Astroturf "fairway," and Ms. Lee will follow in the
Ahmanson family's 1924 Cadillac with actors Debbie Reynolds and
Alex Trebek.

WHERE: 6901 Hollywood Boulevard in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre

WHEN: Tuesday, October 10, at 11:45 a.m.
