Today's rock stars are:

Hillary Clinton, U.S. Senator, New York/U.S. Presidential candidate
"Hillary is a rock star, not a witch."
Hartford Courant (Connecticut)

Joakim Noah, Center/Forward, University of Florida basketball
"Ever since he took a leading role at the Final Four last year, Joakim Noah has been a rock star."
New York Daily News

"Fab Five," 1992 University of Michigan basketball starters.
"Speaking of kids, remember that baggy-shorts-wearing and big-talking crew from Michigan in the early '90s? Of course, you do. When it comes to big personalities, the Fab Five were rock stars."
Kansas City Star

Of the 2008 presidential candidates, Hillary Clinton has now passed Rudy Giuliani on the rock-star meter. She still has far to go to catch up with Barack Obama.

And it's that time of year again for basketball playing college students to be rock stars.
We'll see how many of these we get over the next few weeks.

Today's rock stars are:

David Iglesias, former U.S. Attorney
"Once considered a GOP rock star in the Justice Department, Iglesias testified that he had to ask to stay an extra month in his federal job while he looked for legal work in Albuquerque."
Washington Post

Hillary Clinton, U.S. Senator, New York/U.S. Presidential candidate
"'But,' Gordon Fischer said, 'Senator Clinton is a rock star wherever she goes, and she's greeted by throngs of adoring Democrats.'"
New York Times

Children
"When my kids were young, an older neighbour, a teacher, tried to warn me. 'Look,' she said, 'kids today think they're rock stars.'"
Toronto Globe and Mail

Hillary Clinton picks up a rock star citing. John Edwards' people better hurry up and find someone to call him a rock star. He's losing ground fast.
