On June - 23 - 2010
Absolutely incredible.
Great moments are set up by great drama, and you could not have asked for more with the U.S. national soccer team in Wednesday's FIFA World Cup game against Algeria.
They had been robbed of a game winner against Slovenia. They had to win to get in.
They had so many opportunities in the middle of the game that didn't happen. At the same time, they knew England was up on Slovenia, so there would be no advancing without a goal.
That's what was in front of them. Then you add in the bigger picture of what it would mean ...

We were robbed.
That's how a nation of prepubescent boys and their hottie-craving dads felt last night watching "Dancing With the Stars".

I am a fan of a gorgeous woman.

Yes, there's something to be said for leaving something to the imagination, but not when you're browsing the ...
Pole Dancing Miss USA Rima Fakih vs. Vaulter Stokke: Who’s Hotter?
On May - 18 - 2010
The scandal has broken today involving recently-crowned Miss USA Rima Farik and the pole dancing she did during a Stripper 101 contest in 2007 for a Detroit radio station.

Either way, it's a win-win for the viewer.
With all this talk about poles, we figured we'd pit the newcomer against the reigning queen of photos with poles, Cal pole vaulter Allison Stokke.
Who's hotter? Tough call. Let's put 'em through the ringer.Begin Slideshow
