Latest Legal Battle Over Janet Jackson's "Wardrobe Malfunction" Comes to an End

Facebook.com/JanetJacksonMore than eight years have passed since Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show, and now, the legal drama between CBS and the Federal Communications Commission is finally over, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The FCC had sought to reinstate a $550,000 fine against CBS for the "nipple-slip" that happened during Janet's performance, alongside Justin Timberlake, but on Friday the Supreme Court refused to hear the FCC's request, according to the LA Times.  Back in November, a three-judge U.S. Court of Appeals panel in Philadelphia determined the FCC improperly penalized CBS because it had not announced a change to its policy regarding indecency until it fined the network.

In case you've forgotten, Justin briefly exposed Janet's nipple to millions of viewers after, at the end of their song together, snapping open a piece of the singer's top.
