Fear of a Black Nipple

It's been six years since Janet Jackson's famous breast-flash made America blush during halftime of the Super Bowl (and the term "wardrobe malfunction entered the national lexicon), and the red tape and litigation is still ongoing.
Back then Janet was hot as fire on the charts; so was her conspirator Justin Timberlake. People like Sean Paul were big back then, and Christina Aguilera was what Lady Gaga is now.
So what happened after the performance?
CBS was fined $550,000 by the FCC but balked at paying that much, which lead to the Supreme Court taking up the case.
Now, in 2010 -- when nobody cares -- the issue will finally see its day in court.
Never has a nip slp caused this much controversy.
The snafu just about ruined Janet's career, some say. It also led to a rift between her and Timberlake over his lack of support.
It became a public and nearly a landmark free speech and censorship issue.
It even led to a several-second tape delay for Super Bowls.
Boy, that was one powerful nipple.
Or was it just the traditional fright-laden response to everything we do?
You decide.

Did Nelly have a 'Tip Drill' Flashback?

Nelly was recently seen in Atlanta strip club Magic City recently (along with "the inventor" Trey Songz and Jermaine Dupri) with 1s "raining" from his hands. No word on whether he whipped out the plastic. But if you remember, Nelly got in a whole gang of trouble in 2003 when his video "Tip Drill" depicted him sliding a credit card between a woman's nether parts. The uproar came to a head at Atlanta womens' college, Spelman, in which an event sponsored by Nelly raising awareness of the need for bone marrow donors was protested. What made matters worse, Nelly's own sister later died from sickle and he attributed the protest to a case of misdirected anger.
Has Nelly reverted to his former self? Is Ashanti no longer involved? What's up?

Janet: Hottest 42-year-old on the Planet?

In this day and age, 42 is not old.
Even though we have grandmothers that are 35.
Even though we have teenagers that look 50 years old.
But Damita Jo is in a different category.
This woman, born of Joseph and Kathryn Jackson, is ageless.
What does Janet have that Oprah, queen of self-help and exercise, doesn't?
What secret antidote does Ms. Jackson consume that has her skin golden as an apple in the sun?
Is it Jermaine? No, she was hot way before they met.
It's not just Janet, but her other siblings too, especially the women, have amazing skin and look have their age.
What is it?
