Entertainment and the Starz-owned Film Roman animation studio. The third installment in the "Stan Lee Presents" presents series is Ringo, a musical comedy that tells the life story of ex-Beatle Ringo Starr, voicing himself, as if he were a superhero. ----- Ringo Starr to Receive Liverpool Honour Liverpool will honour Ringo Starr when the city dedicates an upcoming recreation park in his name. Liverpool.gov.uk reported that the city will spend nearly $2 million to refurbish its decaying Dingle Swings Recreation Ground into "Starr Fields" in the Dingle section of Liverpool where Starr was born and raised. The park will feature six bronze benches as a tribute to each decade of Starr's life (he turned 66 on July 7th) as well as a state of the art football pitch and three tennis and netball games areas. The park will also include a changing area for nearby Shorefields School. No completion date for the Starr Fields has been announced. John Charnock, the head teacher of Shorefields School, commented, "We are hugely excited about this scheme as it will provide a fantastic facility for pupils and the local community to use. Ringo Starr has offered his support for the scheme and is as enthusiastic as we are about the opportunities it offers to young people." Both John Lennon and Paul McCartney's childhood homes are now owned and run by Britain's National Trust. In 2001, Liverpool renamed its international airport the John Lennon Airport. Last year, Starr joked that he'd be happy if his hometown dedicated the airport's baggage claim to him. The upcoming Starr Fields is the first official honour the city has bestowed on either Starr or the late George Harrison as individuals. ------ Beatles fans and musicians invited to come together for Harrison Fest The event in Benton, Illinois, home of the Hard Day's Nite Bed and Breakfast, is being billed as the George Harrison Beatle Festival, slated for Saturday, Sept. 8, 2007. The festival, which in years past was confined to the B&B location at 113 McCann St., is expanding to the Benton Public Square this year and expects to draw many more musicians and swell the population of the community for the day. http://www.harddaysnitebnb.com ------ John Lennon's sister releases new book Julia Baird, John's younger half-sister, has published a new book called "Imagine This: Growing up with my brother John Lennon." Julia reveals for the first time the often painful and lonely childhood that was to have such reverberations for both John and herself. Julia reveals the various strong, self-willed and selfish women who surrounded John as he grew up. Named after her mother, Julia was there when John would come by the house as a teenager to visit their mother Julia. The tragic death of their mother, when John was 17 and Julia was 11, meant that life for John and his sisters would never be the same again.
