Well, predictably, my Miss Universe party last night was completely ruined — chairs overturned, onion dip on the ceiling, and once again Don Nelson was arrested for urinating in the middle of the street. The trouble began when Miss USA, Kristen Dalton (below left), failed to make the Final Five.

But there were at least six other contestants who deserved the title more (see their swimsuit photos following the jump). This is an outrage, quite frankly. The SbB investigation begins here.

NOW-ANONYMOUS TENNIS PLAYER NETS MISS UNIVERSE: Fading pro tennis player Paradorn Srichaphan, who has seen his star plummet from #9 to #86 in the latest ATP rankings, is marrying former Miss Universe (and Canadian) Natalie Glebova.
Srichaphan, who is Thai, can thank the Miss Universe pageant being held in Bangkok 2005, which is the year, you guessed it, Glebova won.
Glebova to something called the GULF TIMES: “Ever since we met I knew that he was a down-to-earth, humble person.” The Canadian beauty then added in Thai, “Chan rak phi Bon,” or “I love brother Ball.“
Bon, the Thai rendition of the English word ball, is apparently Paradorn’s nickname.
