U.N. airlifts food to starving French fashion models

PARIS -- In defiance of angry French officials, the United Nations disrupted Paris Fashion Week today to deliver emergency all-you-can-eat buffets and pot-luck suppers to starving female fashion models.

"We could not let the humanitarian crisis on Paris catwalks continue," U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan said. "The world community had to act to save the models of Paris from their own astounding stupidity and bad taste."

Under pressure from the World Health Organization, the French government changed the name of the country's most famous fashion show from "Ready to Wear" to "Ready to Eat" to encourage the models to stop at the buffet tables. The situation was so dire that U.N. peacekeepers and WHO medics were forced to set up buffets along the edges of catwalks to prevent models from collapsing from exhaustion and malnutrition during the show.

U.N. observers expected France to veto the Security Council resolution ordering the airlifts, but the chain-smoking French ambassador to the U.N. missed the vote when, in compliance with New York City's indoor smoking ban, he had to spend the entire session on the sidewalk

Australian player Jelena Dokic, currently on a comeback trail, will have to look forward to the next tournament as she crashed out during the first round of competitions in this week’s BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells, California.
The 26-year old player, who made headlines when she reached the Australian Open quarterfinals two months ago, was beaten by American tennis veteran Jill Craybas (6-4, 6-2) on Wednesday.
Dokic has had several attempts for a comeback in the past couple of years. There was progress last year when she won 3 titles on the challenger circuit and this time, she’s made great progress in her game.
The Australian has been training hard at the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Florida for the past few months to improve her game. However, she said that she’s been struggling mentally these days which could have been the major factor in her loss.
