Mount Schwarzenegger?
An Eastern European country is making a mountain out of Arnold Schwarzenegger's gubernatorial molehill.
The action star turned California governor is being lauded as a modern-day superhero by the former Soviet republic of Georgia, which wants to name one of its mountains in the Caucasus range after the Terminator.
Except there's a catch: Schwarzenegger would have to visit the country to receive the topographical distinction, a representative of President Shevardnadze told the Associated Press on Friday.
Georgia, which borders on Turkey and Russia, has allegedly made the same offer and been rebuffed in the past but reinstated the proposal in honor of Tuesday's election results.
Prospects for Mount Schwarzenegger don't look good.
"I don't see it making the schedule in the near future," Schwarzenegger's spokesman Rob Stutzman told the AP of a prospective trip to Georgia. "As gratifying as it is to have a mountain named after you, his whole attention is right here in California."
Georgian officials have not disclosed the size or precise location of the as-of-yet unnamed mountain.
Meanwhile, no effort is expected on Schwarzenegger's part for an upcoming A&E biopic that has been put on the fast track for next summer.
The cable network announced Thursday that it was developing a two-hour movie based on Schwarzenegger's successful political campaign titled See Arnold Run.
While the project is still in preproduction, a casting wish list appeared in the Hollywood Reporter that included Dennis Quaid, Viggo Mortensen, Willem Dafoe and Billy Campbell.
On the publishing front, Simon & Schuster announced it would release a book by humorist Andy Borowitz titled Governor Arnold: A Photodiary of Schwarzenegger's First 100 Days in Office.
"If just half the women Arnold groped buy this book, it'll be bigger than Harry Potter," Borowitz said in a statement.
