In tennis, Novak Djokovic beat Rafael Nadal to win the BNP Paribas Open. Or as American sports fans call that: Not the NCAA Men’s College Basketball Tournament.


Duke barely beat Michigan to move on to the Sweet Sixteen. But Michigan has a lot to be proud of. Namely their cheerleaders were way hotter than Duke’s. Not to be mean, but if Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski wore a cheerleader outfit, he would be the fourth hottest Duke cheerleader.


Bitter rivals Duke and North Carolina have squeaked into the Sweet Sixteen. North Carolina fans have accused Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski of looking like a rat. That is horribly unfair. Coach K looks like a wombat.


Sarah Palin is in Israel and she will meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu. It was a little awkward, when first told she would meet Netanyahu, Palin said; “I love that crazy reggae-singing Rabbi.”

Lex's take on reality shows.

First of all, I love "American Idol" this year. What a great group. And - didn't think I would - but am nuts for Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler. Tyler looks exactly like my crazy hippy aunt Maggie, who got drunk at my cousin's wedding and tried to cougar-up the best man.

But "Idol" is not reality TV. It is a talent contest.

Unless cameras are truly hidden, there is no such thing as reality TV. "Candid Camera" was reality tv. "Real Stupid and Mean Bitches of Where Ever" is not reality TV. "Jerry Springer" is not reality TV.
