Justin strips Janet 'bare' at Super Bowl Half-time show
All of those who were watching this weekend's Super Bowl half-time show including the 60,000 plus fans in attendance at the got a little bit more exposure than they bargained for from one of the music industry's elite performers.
During the half-time show that featured Nelly, Puff Daddy and Kid Rock to name a few, Janet (Ms Jackson if you're nasty) and surprise guest Justin Timberlake was performing a duet of his song 'Rock your Body'. During the performance, the two was flirtatious with each other bumping and grinding throughout the song and then it happened. As the song was drawing to a close, Justin reached across Janet's body and grabbed her right breast bossier exposing Janet's bosom for the world to see and although it was only a few seconds it was there to see. The network quickly cut away from the shot, and the game commentators did not mention the incident on the air.
Justin Timberlake said he did not intend to expose Jackson's breast. 'I am sorry that anyone was offended by the wardrobe malfunction during the half-time performance of the Super Bowl, it was not intentional and is regrettable.' said the pop singer in a statement
It's not the first time that Janet's breast has been shown (although not fully exposed), her Rolling Stone magazine cover can attest to that (although a pair of hands were holding them at the time). More to come on this I'm sure....keep it logged

Jay-Z: I want to marry Beyonce
Haven't you heard the latest, well a few weeks ago there was reports that current R&B princess Beyoncé Knowles and current rap champ Jay-Z were possibly getting married and today it was confirmed as a 'desire to' by the intended groom.
Sources reports that at a party last week, Jay-Z announced that he and the lovely Miss Beyoncé Knowles will tie the knot "very soon". The couple were at the Manhattan club Taj for a shin dig in honor of former president of Island Def Jam records Lyor Cohen who's leaving for a post at Warner Music Group when Jay (aka Shawn Carter) made the surprise announcement. "It was really unexpected," a witness said. "As soon as he said it everyone in the place started whooping and cheering. Beyonce was standing next to him cooing and looking totally in love. It was a beautiful moment. If ever there were any doubts about how much they love each other, then this certainly blew those away."
It's been reported however that Beyonce is not that liberated and will not be the one to get down on one knee and pop the question so with that said maybe that just forced the issue to the forefront. It's the first time that Jay Z has publicly announced that they are indeed an item.
