[Dec 25] Gymnastics Stars will now have "their own" Stars
 New York & Bucharest. Romanian Gymnastics Gold Team members will have a nice surprise coming from Santa Claus, early morning: each member of Athens Gold Team was assigned a Star, which will carry on the name of "her" Champion.
In behalf of their fans, of all those who were both impressed and happy of their Olympics success, www.romanian-gymnastics.com have "advised" Santa Claus to provide this unique, lifetime gift, to the girls. We all know and said before they are the Stars, but now...it's official! Merry Christmas!
More about Naming a Star...
Celebrities like Martin Short, Stephanie Powers and Brooke Shields have Stars named after them.. Actress, Nicole Kidman named a star "Forever Tom" as a Christmas gift for husband, Tom Cruise. Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, Whitney Houston and Oprah Winfrey all have stars named after them. The Tonight Show staff named a star for Johnny Carson to celebrate his retirement.
People recognized a star certificate prominently displayed on the "bar" wall during the farewell episode of Cheers.
``It's the supreme form of ego,'' said Joe Boskin, professor of social history at Boston University.
``And in America, it's crucial. Immigrants came here and reinvented themselves. Their names conveyed power and identity in a new place. We are a wealthy nation, and in the history of mankind the wealthy people want to leave a legacy. That means their name. Anywhere they can.
It's so nice to have a Star named after you and that is virtually guaranteed to last a good 5 billion years more than its namesake!
The Elvis star shines down from the Cepheus constellation and more than 10 Princess Dianas now dot the sky from Orion to Andromeda. Stars named for Billy Ray Cyrus, Dolly Parton, Sammy Davis Jr., members of the Space Shuttle Challenger crew, and the ``Star Trek'' crew twinkle in the night sky. Actor Billy Baldwin even named a star after John F. Kennedy Jr. when he died, according to a Star Registry.
