Cirque founder Laliberte to get Hollywood star

MONTREAL -- Guy Laliberte, founder of Cirque du soleil and soon Canada's first space tourist, is getting a star of his own on Hollywood Blvd., LCN reports.

Laliberte is one of 28 celebrities who will be celebrated with a star on the Hollywood walk of fame in 2010, the French-language TV network says.

The Quebec billionaire, who boards a Russian Soyuz spacecraft this fall bound for the International Space Station, was selected for a star in the category of personalities involved in stage productions and theatre.

The star ceremony could coincide with the opening of a new Cirque du soleil extravaganza in Los Angeles, a show based on film history.

Laliberte is the second Quebecer, after Celine Dion, to be honoured with a star, LCN says.
