THE young woman who stunned tennis fans when she became the first streaker at Wimbledon was described by friends as a "serial stripper".
Student Melissa Johnson (23) wore only an apron when she ran across the centre court during the final between Richard Krajicek and Mal Washington.
She told the Sun: "I have always been something of an exhibitionist and like to shock. You can rely on me to liven things up."
Actress and AIDS activist Elizabeth Taylor has attacked the US and Canadian governments, accusing Washington of committing "premeditated murder" in failing to fund Aids programmes.
She told a private reception at the 11th International Conference on AIDS that euphoria over medical advances did little to dispel the reality - that most people with HIV do not have access to drugs or other treatments.
Charges for possession and being under the influence of cocaine have been filed in Los Angeles against David Gahan, lead singer of the rock group Depeche Mode.
Gahan was arrested last May at a Hollywood hotel after apparently suffering an over-dose. He was freed on 10.000 bail after his release from hospital.
