Janet Jackson

gets her Lil Kim on at the Super Bowl, with Justin Timberlake, alleged former paramour, ripping off one of her leather breast cups to expose a star shapped pastied right breast. Vivid Blurry has more photos and whatevs dubs CBS the "Tittany Network." CBS is apologizing, saying, "CBS deeply regrets the incident," while Justin says, "I am sorry that anyone was offended by the wardrobe malfunction during the halftime performance of the Super Bowl. It was not intentional and is regrettable." Gothamist knows Ms. Jackson is trying to be more gritty and sexual, given the A Clockwork Orange meets Cabaret style dancers, but it's not by total chance that the right cup of her outfit would be so pull-away and that she would have a pastie on her nipple. Or is it? At any rate, Janet's ploy to make people stop wondering "Where's Michael? Is he coming?" for a few minutes worked. Game on, Janet.

Oh, and apparently the New England Patriots won over North Carolina.
