systemadder, you are mistaken. The largest star is Westerlund 1-26, NOT NML Cygni. Westurlund 1-26 is 3.1 Billion Km in diameter.

Splinterfrag, I hate to make you disappointed, but VY CMa isn't the largest star known anymore. NML Cygni is now. Go to Wikipedia or YouTube and you'll see what I mean.
