Absolut Vodka to Sponsor Walk of Fame Rehab

In a bid to revive the Hollywood stars after years of abuse and being stepped on, Absolut Vodka became the first corporate contributor to a $4-million dollar restoration plan in advance of the Walk of Fame's 50th anniversary in 2010. To recognize Absolut's initiative (and creative marketing tactics?), Leron Gubler, CEO of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce presented the company with an honorary star near the entrance to the Kodak Theatre. More on the "Friends of the Walk of Fame" project and the condition of the 2,365 stars at the LAT.

A corporate star? Ugh. Horrible. Disgusting. Johnny Grant is rolling in his chimp hating grave.

Wait - the new star for Absolut is on private property... not so bad. Sell away!

Makes sense to me, since Absolute has contributed to so many of the stars on the walk of fame entering rehab.
