Justin Timberlake regrets throwing Janet Jackson under the bus

Almost six years after the career-changing incident, Justin Timberlake apparently has regrets over the way he treated Janet Jackson in the wake of their 2004 Super Bowl scandal. The two were performing what was sure to be a showstopping routine during half time of the game when at the end of a song,Timberlake ripped open Jackson's shirt to reveal her naked breast covered by a pastie. Viewers had to be keen of eye to catch the momentary flash, but the fallout lasted for years.

Both Jackson and Timberlake apologized, with Jackson calling it a "wardrobe malfunction", however only Jackson's career seemed to suffer in its wake. Timberlake, for his part, denied knowing Jackson was topless, and distanced himself from her allowing the media and the public to draw conclusions she alone was responsible for the flash. Janet was left alone to deal with the fallout as she watched her album sales fall and her endorsements dry up. She retreated from the public eye, becoming a recluse and gaining quite a bit of weight. "Nipplegate" on CBS was seen by an estimated 140 million viewers and brought unprecidented complaints to the FCC and a huge fine for the network. Now, Timberlake says he's sorry. He told Entertainment Weekly he regrets his handling of the situation. “I wish I had supported Janet more. I am not sorry I apologized, but I wish I had been there more for Janet,” he said.

Personally, I used to be a JT fan. I loved his music and his style of dancing, but the way he treated Janet...really left a bad taste in my mouth. He came out of it with his career intact, but in my opinion he abandoned her like a coward. He was the one who actually ripped her shirt, not her. He humiliated and exposed a Black woman on international television. Why wasn't it considered assault? How can you blame someone for someone else ripping their clothes off? I never understood that. Even if they had planned it, they should have stood together to take the heat. Instead, he took the easy way out. I never forgave him for it and never bought anything else he did. He lost a fan in me back in 2004. How did you feel about it? Do you think he's being sincere now?

Whitney Houston Hated Him

X-Factor contestant Danyl Johnson claims Whitney Houston "hated him" for singing one of her songs. Johnson says Whitney was brought in to coach the contestants on the hit British singing reality show. The contestants got to choose a song to sing on air and Johnson chose "I Didn't Know My Own Strength"; the song had yet to be released in the U.K. When asked which of the celebrity mentors was his least favorite Johnson said, "Whitney absolutely hated me." He added sarcastically, "She loved the fact I was singing a song she hadn't released yet...She was actually still quite nice but sort of didn't like the fact I was singing the song but there you go. That was the worst one. I was singing a song she hadn't released in the UK yet so she wasn't very happy."

No wonder Eminem is so angry all the time!

Eminem's ex-wife, Kim Mathers, aired him out on Detroit radio station WKQI. Kim spat, “I can't stand him. He's an absolutely horrible person and he gets worse every day. I vomit in my mouth whenever I'm around him or I hear his name. There's nothing left in me for him. Nothing at all,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.“He's not very well endowed. If you're going to have sex with Marshall, make sure you have a little blue pill because otherwise it does not work."

Well damn. Tell us how you really feel.

Heir McNair

Steve McNair reportedly died with no Last Will and Testament, leaving his estate in a shambles. McNair's wife, Mechelle, petitioned a probate court judge for control over his estate so she could meet the day-to-day needs of herself and their two children. The judge granted her petition and gave her 60 days to give an accounting of the estate. Mechelle listed herself and their two children as heirs to the estate and omitted any mention of Steve's two sons from a previous relationship.

Kanye Might Have A Contract On His Life

According to the British paper The Sun, Pink isn't too fond of your boy 'Ye. Here is what she had to say:

Kanye West is the person p***ing me off right now.

I was at STELLA McCARTNEY's Paris fashion show with the vice president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, PAUL McCARTNEY and Kanye West … The entire time Kanye is going, 'They need more fur in this show'. He just wouldn't shut up about how he loved fur. I mean, he's saying this to me, the PETA guy and Paul McCartney!

I was just so grossed out by him. I'm like, 'You're an idiot!'

There are so many people who I think are a waste of skin and he's up there. I should wear him. Go on, donate yourself Kanye. People can wear your fur.

People deep into the animal rights movement feel VERY strongly about their beliefs. Kanye might have a price on his head after this.

Rihanna Lashes Out At Chris

Is Rihanna lashing out at her former love, Chris Brown in her new song "Silly Boy" featuring Lady Ga Ga? Judge for yourself:


"I said I'm not coming back
You fooled me once but you can't have that ego turning,
Just too bad for you, that when you had me
Didn't know what to do, she's over you.
Cause you had a good girl, good girl
Girl that's a keeper
You had a good girl, good girl
But didn't know how to treat her."


"You comin with those corny lines
Can’t live without me
I’ll get some flowers for the day that you are buried
No, people make mistakes But I just think your ass is fake
Only thing I want from you, is for you to (stay away)"
