Today's rock star is:

Henry VIII, Former King, England
"It seems almost a no-brainer to turn the early days of Henry VIII's 16th century court into a sleek, well-produced soap opera. After all, it's a story with intrigue, philandering, death - and a virile, young rock star of a monarch."
St. Petersburg Times

If you ask me, Hans Holbein painted a terrible likeness of Jonathan Rhys-Meyers.

Henry VIII, Former King, England
"Bergin says, 'Henry was the rock star of his time ... with garments cut close to the body to accentuate his physique. He was the Mick Jagger of his day.'"
San Francisco Chronicle

David Carr, unemployed quarterback
"He arrived in Houston a rock star. Carr, the No. 1 pick in the 2002 draft, had the total package: good looks, a beautiful wife, a nice-guy personality and talent."
Houston Chronicle

A guy who couldn't even keep a job with the Houston Texans gets the same metaphorical treatment as the man who created the Church of England.
