Movie star. Governor. Now a mountain man?

Arnold Schwarzenegger could get a mountain named after him in the former Soviet republic of Georgia.

But there's a catch: To receive the honor, California's governor-elect must visit the country, a representative of President Eduard Shevardnadze said Friday.

Georgia has extended the offer in the past - to no avail - but officials resurrected the Mount Schwarzenegger plan after Tuesday's election.

Once again, it looks as if they'll be disappointed. "I don't see it making the schedule in the near future," Schwarzenegger spokesman Rob Stutzman said.
