Janet Jackson has now admitted that her breast baring at the Super Bowl was more than just a ?wardrobe malfunction.? But even before Jackson apologized for the incident, there were hints that it was hardly the accident Jackson and Justin Timberlake claimed.
Before the Super Bowl, Jermaine Dupri, Jackson?s boyfriend, was telling people that the singer was going to do something sexually explicit, according to an insider. ?He was saying, ?Don?t watch the halftime concert unless you want to see something very R-rated,? ? says the source.
Dupri?s spokeswoman didn?t return calls and his agent?s office told The Scoop, ?No comment.?
Meanwhile, MSNBC?s Keith Olbermann reported last night that two sources, one in television entertainment and one in television sports, say that long before the Super Bowl, they were informed that ?Janet Jackson?s breast ? or breasts ? would be bared, briefly,? during the halftime show.
What?s more, MTV?s own Web site quoted Jackson?s choreographer, Gil Duldulao, saying that there would be ?some shocking moments? in her Super Bowl performance. That comment has now been removed from the Web site, and MTV, which produced the show, has apologized.
