Cakehead of the Week Award Committee examining the North Korea cake

The Cakehead of the Week Award committee has been on hiatus for several months now. 2006 was a difficult year for this team of Cakehead experts. Statistics show that the number of Cakeheads around the world has soared to new levels last year. By the time the year was over the committee had processed and reviewed over 2 million nominations. The team was long overdue for several months of recuperation and recovery. But now they're back and ready to award the first Cakehead of the Week Award for 2007.

He's so dreamy

The award this week goes to Assistant Secretary of State, Christopher Hill. Not for his successful superstar negotiations with North Korea. (His clever offer to lift cake sanctions so that North Korea will end its nuclear program was a skillful move. But there are already plenty awards given for that.) We're awarding Hill with a cake for being so damn sexy. Chinese women were the ones who first turned us on to this fact. According to CNN, this "Boyish U.S. Envoy [has] Become a Heartthrob in China."

"He's so charming and attractive," said Li Kenna, a desk clerk at the five-star hotel Hill stays at in Beijing. "He sometimes asks me how I am in the mornings," she said. "He's one of our nicest guests."

...Concerns about Hill's health -- he has been sick several times in the cold Beijing winter and looked ill several days ago -- have elicited almost motherly concern from some female reporters.

"Ambassador, are you feeling OK? You don't look too well," a South Korean reporter, Koo Hee-jin, asked at one news conference during the latest round of talks that started on Thursday.

Our favorite part of the article is the list of important facts highlighted as bullet points at the top of the page. The third bullet point seems especially relevant and important to emphasize:

- Hill gets mobbed at Beijing airport, one of his security officials says
- Hill has won over media in China, Japan
- Hill is married with three children

Sorry ladies of China. He's taken.
