  "account": "Dolly Parton, the legendary country music singer, will receive a new star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame following the vandalism of her original star, officials have announced. The singer, who passed away at the age of 80 last week, had her star dedicated in 1984. Fans expressed their grief by laying flowers and candles at the vandalized star, which was located in the heart of Hollywood. President Donald Trump ordered flags on government buildings to be flown at half-staff in mourning. The Hollywood Historic Trust, which maintains the stars along Hollywood Boulevard, confirmed that a replacement star would be ready within days. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce also praised the organization for honoring Parton's legacy with the replacement star, which will be viewable on Friday.",
  "summary": "Vandals scratched the star on Monday and badly defaced the country music legend's name.",
