Today's rock star is:
Steve Schwarzman, CEO, Blackstone Group
"Blackstone chief Steve Schwarzman... is achieving rock star status in the finance world and could end up as an exhibit at his latest acquisition: Madame Tussauds."
New York Post--"He's no dummy- Schwarzman gets Tussauds for $1.9B."
According to the Associated Press today, Barack Obama contributed "star power" to Chicago's Olympic bid, but evidently he held back on the rock part.
