Welcome to the middle of the afternoon, time to wonder whether Lil' Kim's "wardrobe malfunction'' is a bigger story than Kim Jung-il's rocket malfunction.
It was rapper Lil' Kim who nearly lost her top on "Dancing With the Stars'' in this week's dance competition on ABC. Host Tom Bergeron provided some cover while the front-runner adjusted herself as she and her partner approached the judges' table.
"I don't know why this happens a lot of the time, but ... the girls were tryin' to come out,'' she reportedly told ABC after the show.
It didn't stop the dancing pair from drawing a 28 out of 30 from the judges -- perhaps it helped.
It was North Korean leader Kim Jong-il who lost his missile in the launch last week of a rocket that was supposed to be carrying a satellite into space that would beam "patriotic'' songs back to Earth. The U.S. military's judges gave it a 0 -- concluding that it splashed in the sea.
The United Nations Security Council's condemnation of Pyongyang's stunt has only encouraged North Korea to ratchet up the rhetoric, threaten a revival of nuclear reaction and generally heighten the level of tension in the world.
Which Lil' Kim has helped defuse.

Sounds like Kim Jong-il has a problem with his missile exploding early.
