WIRELESS FLASH BRIEFS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

LAS VEGAS (Wireless Flash) -- Tiger-loving magicians Siegfried & Roy have reason to celebrate: they've just been named the Magicians of the Century. The two illusionists will receive the "Merlin Award" -- the magicians' equivalent of an Oscar -- at a special ceremony today in Las Vegas. -- WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Looks like everyone wants to act -- even jet airplanes. This past weekend, a Virgin Airlines jet played the role of "Air Force One" for an upcoming episode of the NBC's "The West Wing." Computer animators will complete the transformation by adding a presidential seal to the side of the plane. -- LOS ANGELES -- "Angel" star Charisma Carpenter may have a pretty face, but forget about her feet. The 29-year-old tells "E! Online" that 17 years of ballet have made her tootsies look terrible. Although Charisma admits her clodhoppers are unsightly, she claims she's grown to "embrace their uniqueness."
