The mammoth construction is rumoured to be five metres high (16 feet) and is expected to arrive by boat tomorrow (19MAR06).
The LAUNDRY SERVICE star is thrilled by the tribute; following a viewing of the artwork during a fundraiser in Germany she said, "I want people to think that any girl can start working on her dreams and that they will come true."
