Here are a few tidbits of pop culture that caught our eye last week.

■ Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos ■ buys The Washington Post for $250 million. The free shipping made it a deal Bezos couldn’t pass up.

■ The Princeton Review names the University of Iowa the nation’s top party school. Yeah, those weekend cow-tipping excursions can get pretty rowdy.

■ Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees is suspended for 211 games for allegedly using performance-enhancing drugs. “That’s it?” a puzzled and dejected “Shoeless” Joe Jackson asks.

■ A Utah beauty pageant winner is arrested on suspicion of making homemade bombs and throwing them at homes. A talent that surely would have won her first place in the Miss Anarchist 2013 Pageant.
