Just days before the release of the much delayed and long-anticipated “Spore” — the latest endeavor of “The Sims” creator Will Wright — gaming publisher Electronic Arts has enlisted the help of some Hollywood and technology heavyweights. In addition to adding the celebrity critters to the Sporepedia, a catalog of all the creatures users have created and published on the game’s Web site, for download, “Spore” fans will also vote for their favorite celebrity monster. After a more than three-year wait, “Spore” will make its bow on Sept. 5 in the UK and Sept. 7 in the U.S.
