The most important thing to happen on Monday was obviously a wardrobe choice at a TV studio in Burbank, California.

L.A. Times: HALLE BERRY’S DRESS ON LENO DISTRACTS ‘TONIGHT SHOW’ HOST

E! Online: HALLE BERRY’S RACY LATE-NIGHT LOOK: GOTTA HAVE IT OR MAKE IT STOP?

Incidentally, voters on the idiotic E! Online question deliver mind-boggling 57 percent verdict for “make it stop.” Remind us never to visit E! Online again. Clearly their audience has no taste.

Halle Berry’s Leno-distracting cleavage makes the world a better place. It puts a spring in your step. It resolves conflicts. It auto-corrects spelling errors. It speaks for the trees. It cures type B diabetes.

Don’t knock Halle Berry’s cleavage unless you have something better to offer the world — or at least something just as good.

We won’t get into better vs. just-as-good, but we will bring up the last-best decolletage triumph by a woman of a certain age (not named Vergara — that’s a whole nother cup of joe), which was Heidi Klum at Elton John’s AIDS Oscar Party a couple of weeks back. True, Heidi is 39, significantly younger than 46-year-old Halle. But in terms of what the IRS would call wear-and-tear, Halle’s one childbearing experience isn’t really in the same league as baby-factory Heidi, who has had four by ex-husband Seal.

Suffice it to say these are two women who are holding up much better than most civilians. Perhaps with cloning technology we will soon make this the norm. It would be really creepy, but kind of nice too.
