Ann Curry - The Today Show host was giving a commencement speech at Wheaton College, and, well, it wasn't perfect: Talk about most embarrassing moments. In a commencement speech to graduates at Wheaton College in Massachusetts on Saturday, the "Today" show's Ann Curry named some of the famous alumni they were joining. Unfortunately, the graduates she named, including Billy Graham, went to a different Wheaton College -- an evangelical school in Illinois with the same name.

Dwayne Bowe - for his role as an “importer” of women to Chief’s away games. In a recent interview with ESPN The Magazine Bowe gave all the details regarding the importing of women. Apparently Chiefs’ players would meet women on social networking sites and fly them to the hotels where the team had booked an entire floor to fill with the so-called “imports”. “…some of my teammates had it set up so there was a girl in every room. The older guys get on MySpace and Facebook a week before we go to a city; when a pretty one writes back, they arrange to fly her in three or four days in advance. They call it importing.” "Younger guys don't have the money to do it. Anyway, these girls had the whole top floor. They know everything about us -- first and last names, sisters and brothers, salary. This one girl was talking to me like she'd known me for years. 'Hey, D-Bowe, how's Grandma?' I'm like, 'How do you know my grandma?' She knew that I talk about her every time I'm interviewed for a story.”

North Korea - On May 20 an international commission said that the South Korean ship ROKS Cheonan was sunk by a North Korean torpedo attack on March 26 despite North Korea denying any involvement in the sinking (go figure). A dredging ship found an exploded torpedo at the site of the incident that basically said PROPERTY OF NORTH KOREA. South Korea has suspended nearly all trade with the Northies as a result.
