The Miss Universe pageant was held over the weekend in Vietnam, and for the second year in a row, America's entry fell on her butt and got the headlines. 26-year-old Crystle Stewart of Texas tripped over her gown and landed on the front page. Miss Venezuela won the crown.

Last year, Miss USA was Rachel Smith, who tripped at the Miss Universe pageant in Mexico City and became a star on YouTube. Who won that contest? Um, I don't recall. So remember, it's not whether you win or lose, it's whether you stand out against the crowd.

Remember when Eddie Murphy was funny? Um, no? You don't have to take my word for it; here's a clip from SNL.

I cannot express how entertaining the Alex Rodriguez implosion is. Almost as fun as Roger Clemens crashing to Earth like a busted spy satellite. A-Rod's phony act has been transparent for many years.

His alleged affair with Jurassic pop star Madonna and buying a condo for a stripper mistress are just hilarious.

The photo above of Toronto Blue Jays fans taunting Alex is worthy of a doff of the cap. Well done. That is better than Mariner fans throwing Monopoly money in the air when he comes to bat.

A-Rod is walking irony. He puts on his calculated act because he is so desperate to be loved and admired. Only sports fans and the media know it's rubbish and dislike him more as a result. Justice, if you ask me.
