I can honestly tell you that I have never seen an asterisk used in CSS like that....

What are you trying to do?

* = universal selector (http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/selector.html#universal-selector)

body * = any descendent (http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/selector.html#descendant-selectors) of the <body> element.
