Janet Jackson Wardrobe Malfunction

Case Back in Court

CBS’s fine was tossed by a lower court last year, which found that the Super Bowl incident was “fleeting” as it lasted a mere 9/16ths of a second. Per the BBC, 90 million viewers were watching the halftime show when Justin Timberlake tore off a piece of Jackson’s bra near the end of his “Rock Your Body”; CBS received 542,000 complaints.

The Supreme Court has asked Philadelphia’s 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals to consider reinstating the fine. CBS said in a statement that they were confident the court would again find in their favor and drop the fine, arguing the network could not have anticipated what ultimately happened onstage between Jackson and Timberlake.

Since 2004’s famous “wardrobe malfunction,” the Super Bowl has stuck to classic rockers unlikely to spontaneously disrobe for its half-time shows, inviting Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Prince, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, and most recently Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band onto its stage.

Supreme Court revives case of Janet Jackson’s televised “wardrobe malfunction”

In a one-line order, the justices set aside a ruling in CBS’ favor from a federal appeals court in Philadelphia. That court had agreed with the network that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) had made a sudden change in its policy on “indecency” that was unjustified because the display of nudity was brief and inadvertent.

Now, the appeals court will have to reconsider that conclusion, in light of last week’s Supreme Court ruling upholding the FCC’s zero-tolerance policy for the broadcast of “fleeting expletives.”

The Parents Television Council in Los Angeles praised the court for “siding with families.” Its members bombarded the FCC with complaints after the broadcast.

But CBS downplayed the court’s order.

“The Super Bowl incident, while inappropriate and regrettable, was not and could not have been anticipated by CBS,” according to the network.

If nothing else, Monday’s order means the infamous “wardrobe malfunction,” which lasted nine-sixteenths of a second on TV screens, figures to live on in the courts for another year or more.

Last week, the Supreme Court in a 5-4 ruling agreed the FCC could fine broadcasters for airing the “F-word” during prime time, even if it was uttered by a guest on a live program.

The decision overturned a ruling from an appeals court in New York, similar to the court in Philadelphia, which said the agency’s switch in policy was unfair and not justified.

However, the justices did not decide whether these heavy fines violate the network’s constitutional right to free speech. That issue remains to be decided in both cases.

No, nobody – so I get out of the truck and I walk two miles back to the house into a 50 mile per hour. It’s not Beverly Hills, it’s Montana, for God’s sakes. And the whole way, I’m thinking: See, smart ass, see, see, you try to get married, this is what happens.”

“Dancing With The Stars:” 21.5 Million Viewers

Huuuugggge opener for “Dancing with the Stars:” 21.5 million viewers.

That helped “Castle,” by the way - 11.6 million - but I gotta think ABC would have liked to have held on to a little more of that lead-in. Meanwhile, ABC is saying this is the biggest “Dancing with the Stars” opener ever…

Getting ready to be introduced by his new team this evening, David Beckham was spotted arriving in Milan, Italy on Saturday morning (December 20).

The English soccer star made the trip from London, where he’s been spending the past few days alongside wife Victoria and their three sons, Romeo, Cruz and Brooklyn.

After arriving into town, Becks was driven off to a medical clinic in nearby Appiano Gentile to undergo medical tests while his Spice Girl bride reportedly scoured the area in search of a hotel to stay in during the next few days.

The family will then be leaving Milan on Monday for the holidays, but David is to return a week later on December 29 so that he can fly out with the AC Milan squad to Dubai for their winter training camp.

Victoria Beckham Bans Sexy Italian TV Presenter From Interviewing David Beckham?

Victoria Beckham has reportedly banned sexy Italian television presenter Ilaria D’Amico from interviewing husband David Beckham.

The former Spice Girl is said to have restricted IIaria from a one-on-one chat with the soccer star after researching the Mediterranean beauty online.

The Italian media are reporting that Victoria is insanely jealous at the thought of such a beautiful woman being anywhere near David.

But a rep for the Beckhams insist the claims are false.

A spokesperson says: “Illaria D’Amico will still be doing an interview with David.

“Originally Sky wanted to do an exclusive interview but we felt the press conference should be open to everyone and wouldn’t want to restrict it to one broadcaster.

‘He will do a separate interview with Sky afterwards. It’s rubbish to suggest we would veto a presenter because of her looks.’

The tribal council has spoken! CBS’ “Survivor” started with 20 contestants — but now only one “Survivor” reigns.

58-year-old ethics teacher Bob Crowley won it all on live television tonight! The new millionaire is the oldest winner in “Survivor” history.

“I just tried to be necessary and friendly,” Bob said of his strategy. “My plan was to fly under the radar as long as I could.”

Bob, Ken Hoang, Jessica “Sugar” Kiper, Susie Smith and Matty Whitmore were the five contestants who remained on the season finale.

After Ken was voted off in the first challenge, hairdresser Susie won the House of Cards challenge keeping her in the top 3. “That’s what happens when you underestimate someone,” contestant Sugar says about Susie’s unbelievable win.

Matty and Bob were forced into a fire making challenge after the votes showed a tie regarding which one of them should go home. Bob won the challenge and moved on to the final top 3.

Bob’s “jury of peers” then voted him the “sole survivor.”
