A Kazakhstan beauty-pageant finalist was booted from the contest when “she” confessed to being a “he.”

Ilay Dyagilev, 22, a male model, revealed his gender after besting 4,000 applicants to reach the “Miss Virtual Kazakhstan” contest finals.

“I realized it had gone too far,” said Dyagilev, who competed as Arina Alieva (in wig and makeup) to prove that unconventional is beautiful, he said.

Strip-club patron Pedro Alberto Bernar-Santiago, 20, allegedly got so trashed, he attacked a toilet at the Treasure Club in Myrtle Beach, SC. The destruction unleashed a flood of dirty water, causing $3,000 in damage, police said.

Bruce Grubb, 24, a farmer in Scotland, called police to report a tiger stalking his pregnant cows.

A ship searching for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 went missing itself last week for three days.

The Seabed Constructor turned off its own satellite-monitoring system without explanation 10 days into a 90-day “no-find, no-fee” mission to scour the Indian Ocean for the 2014 flight that disappeared with 239 passengers and crew.

The search ship reappeared Sunday — and conspiracy theories abound for the three-day blackout. Leaping lizards! Michelle Carr, a nurse from Kittery, Maine, said she stuck her fork into a salad she had made of romaine lettuce, tomatoes and avocados and found a dead three-inch-long lizard.

Carr complained to health and store officials, who are trying to determine if the lizard came in the lettuce.
