Janet Jackson Launching New Line of Wardrobe Malfunction Jokes

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Well, okay, technically, she’s launching a new line of lingerie. But it can only result in hundreds of thousands of unfunny wardrobe malfunction-related jokes made by bloggers, fashionistas and reporters the world over. Bring it on, Janet.

The line is called Pleasure Principle, and it’s expected to hit stores in November.

“People have come to me with other ideas, but lingerie is a passion for me, and just like music and acting, I can’t do it unless I put 100 percent into it,” Jackson said.

Jackson’s 14-design line of underpinnings, crafted mainly from satin and lace and heavy on feminine details, will be available in department stores and mass retailers this fall, with each piece priced at under $40.

“It makes you feel incredible and offers variety as diverse as the women who will wear it,” Jackson said of the line, named after her 1987 hit.

Lingerie is a passion for you? Who says that?

Whatever. Maybe I’m being too hard on her because I’m PMS-ing. I get anxious in the days before my period. After all, tampons are a passion for me.

Court Tosses Super Bowl “Wardrobe Malfunction” Fine

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Hi guys.

Sorry posting is slow today.

I have a fever. :( So mostly I’m sleeping. I haven’t had an actual fever in a really long time. I forgot how much it sucks. Your whole body tingles and it really just blows. So I’m gonna write a little bit more and then get my ass back to bed and hope this shit is gone by tomorrow.

And by “write” I mean “copy and paste from other articles.”

A federal appeals court on Monday threw out a $550,000 indecency fine against CBS Corp. for the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show that ended with Janet Jackson’s breast-baring “wardrobe malfunction.”

The three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Federal Communications Commission “acted arbitrarily and capriciously” in issuing the fine for the fleeting image of nudity …

The court found that the FCC deviated from its nearly 30-year practice of fining indecent broadcast programming only when it was so “pervasive as to amount to ’shock treatment’ for the audience.”

So there you go. Four-and-a-half years later. Justice is swift.

Janet Jackson Has Whatever I Had

Janet Jackson’s been hospitalized with “the flu.”

Now normally I’d be all like “Enjoy the lipo, Janet,” but after what I went through a couple of weeks ago, it no longer seems so far-fetched for one to be hospitalized with the flu.

“Janet is fine. She’s just battling this flu like everyone else,” says her rep.

Meanwhile, Janet’s latest album, Discipline, is #1 on the Billboard charts.

Congrats, Janet!

Janet Jackson Discipline Album Cover, Pictures, Photos

So we’ve got the cover for Janet Jackson’s 10th studio album, Discipline.

It kind of looks like everything she’s wearing was purchased at Forever 21. I dunno. She looks hot, though. That woman can lose weight like nobody’s business.

Wanna Hear the New Janet Jackson Track?

Z100 is streaming “Feedback”.

Okay, you guys, is it just me, or does this sound like it comes straight off Britney Spears’ new album???

I wonder if they had some of the same songwriters. The vibe is very similar.

Also, is it just me or does this song contain the lyric “I’m heavy like a first-day period”????

Because what today’s music scene is really missing is more menstruation analogies.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!

Remember When People Cared About Janet Jackson’s Wardrobe Malfunction?

CBS Takes FCC to Court over Janet Jackson Wardrobe Malfunction Fine

Remember when that was scandalous? Oh my God! A nipple! For half a second!

Ah, we used to be so innocent.

Apparently — in what must be a galaxy far, far away — people still care about that story. Because CBS is challenging a $550,000 fine issued by the Federal Communications Commission for the event, claiming that they took considerable precautions to prevent something like this from happening.

CBS’s lawyer said the network took many precautions, including choosing Jackson and Justin Timberlake over more provocative performers, reviewing the script, voicing concerns about ad-libbed remarks and applying a 5-second audio delay. But the FCC lawyer said that CBS knowingly allowed a “highly sexualized performance” to take place, without concern for the risks involved.

I think I speak for all of us when I say: Who cares???

The CBS Strikes Back

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006


Remember the Janet Jackson nonsense? Well CBS does to and they are suing the FCC over the 550k they were fined. I think someone at CBS realized the only show they have left that people watch is C.S.I. so they decided they’d just start lashing out at monolithic organizations. Next up, the Boy Scouts! Actually, they kid of deserve it. Anyway.

I will say in this point they’ve got the high ground, the FCC is a demon from hell sent to haunt our dreams. Here’s a bit of the reasoning behind the decision:

“(The incident) was unintended, took place without the knowledge of the network, and should not be considered indecent.”

Furthermore CBS wants you to know the JJ breastacle was:

“unscripted, unauthorized and unintended long-distance shot of Ms. Jackson’s breast for nine-sixteenths of one second.”

9/16ths! Go get em CBS! And wouldn’t you have loved to be the intern with the stopwatch getting that number exactly right?

Take us home CBS, the official network of old people:

“The network stated that the “blink and you miss it” nature of the episode went “largely unrecognized for most of the broadcast audience.”

Whoa there. Now you’ve lost me. It may have gone unrecognized for the 9/16ths of a second it took everyone in the world to overreact, but even I caught that Ms. Jackson had given us a little more for our entertainment dollar. Man, CBS, why didn’t you just say “You can catch the same nipple action on EvilBeetGossip.com”? Or anywhere on the massive entity I call the internet. Or on Showtime. Or on the Oscars when someone wears a J-Lo dress. Or perhaps you should have used the ultimate in network comebacks with “Hey, our freaking logo looks like a nipple you jerks.”
