Brave Judges Make the Airwaves Safe at Last For Unscripted Nudity

5:20AM Defamer Hollywood | In a landmark decision for bodice rippers and the networks who love them, a trio of federal judges today threw out the FCC’s $550,000 fine against CBS for the Super Bowl “wardrobe malfunction” that exposed Janet Jackson’s right breast in 2004. The damning decision resulted in a miserable spoof by Justin Timberlake at last night’s ESPY Awards and, worse yet for the FCC, essentially wiped out the upgraded decency standards implemented after the broadcast — at least for live shows, which required the judges to buy CBS’s defence that the nip slip was an “accident.” More »

Madonna And Justin Timberlake Dirty Dance, We Do Not Have The Time Of Our Lives

10:19AM Molly Friedman | So the last time Justin Timberlake participated in a memorable live performance with an iconic female singer/dancer phenom resulted in that legendary “wardrobe malfunction” suffered by one Miss Janet Jackson. Sure, it was staged and Timberlake’s “oops!” facial expression prophetically foreshadowed his subpar acting skills to come, but at least in our opinion, the whole thing was kind of hot. Sadly, last night he obediently agreed to perform on stage with his new vitamin injectress Madonna, and despite Madge’s impressive torso maneuvers and immobile hairdo, her attempts to grind and dirty dance the life out of Timberlake in this clip just made us uncomfortable.

Another Weird Jackson

11:58AM Seth | Much like her brother Michael, we have a hard time really buying the whole girlish falsetto of Janet Jackson’s voice. It’s as if she’s just waiting for a commercial break to unleash that Howard Stern-esque basso profundo of hers. [Ellen] Ellen Page pulls out of Sam Raimi’s Drag Me to Hell, reportedly because “she didn’t like the latest draft of the script.” Which strikes us as just the sort of excuse someone who’d bring their lesbian power publicist as their date to the Oscars would give, doesn’t it? [bloody-disgusting.com] We must hand it to that Tilda Swinton: She’s a pistol. She’s already converted her Oscar into a hash pipe. So handy! [Popbytes] Now you’re all Archuleta, Archuleta, Archuleta, as if Sanjaya never even existed. Well what if we sweetened the Malakar by offering you a shot of the Ponyhawked One…shirtless? We thought so. Enjoy. [rickey.org] Next time you have company over, serve them a nice glass of wine in a bacon cup! They can even eat it once they’re done drinking. [Not Martha via WOW] More »

Remembering The Partially Revealed Nipple That Rocked The World

6:00AM Defamer Hollywood | As you may or may not be aware, the FCC and CBS began oral arguments today in the case stemming from the network’s broadcast of Justin Timberlake’s totally unauthorised, renegade revealing of duet partner Janet Jackson’s sun-shaped nipple-armour during the halftime show at the 2004 Super Bowl, the landmark pop-culture event responsible for introducing the now-cringe-inducing phrase “wardrobe malfunction” into the vernacular. We thought that this would be a good time to take another look at the footage that earned CBS $US550,000 in fines, a penalty that’s affected the TV industry so profoundly that Standards & Practices executives become immediately incontinent each time they hear Timberlake’s “Rock Your Body,” the soundtrack of their waking, three-year-long nightmare.
