Not to denigrate Mr. Darcy (I'm a big fan) but from the item it seems 
that his contribution was ephemeral, as opposed to that of Natalie 
Portman, who is more likely to have actually contributed to the paper 
which carries her real name, Natalie Hershlag (see 
http://tinyurl.com/35e6rg)

Still, one can't deny the sexiness of having Mr. Darcy's name on your 
otherwise boring paper (in _Current Biology_ at 
http://tinyurl.com/3g3ezmm ). Now if they had only included a 
thumbnail of him with his shirt off.

(Makes me think of the Alpher, Bethe, Gamow paper caper
http://geomblog.blogspot.com/2005/03/alpher-bethe-gamow.html ) which 
I've always admired.
