Best and Worst Celebrity Excuses of 2004
Best: Janet Jackson's "Wardrobe Malfunction" defense
Setting off a firestorm of controversy during her raunchy Super Bowl halftime show (with Justin Timberlake), Janet Jackson's "accidental" nipple-flashing not only shocked America, but changed TV. Delays on shows as vacuous as "The View" and tighter FCC regulations made the world question what was indeed profane. But the best thing about the incident was the excuse -- it was, according to Timblerake and later Jackson, a "wardrobe malfunction." Adding a new term to the popular lexicon, women can now call in sick to work with "Sorry, I'm having a wardrobe malfunction."
=========================
Worst: Ashlee Simpson's "Acid Reflux" defense
Ha! Busted! Ashlee Simpson's "Saturday Night Live" lip-sync debacle was embarrassing but hardly surprising. So how did she sneak out of it? A simple apology? Microphone troubles? Nope. Acid reflux. Jessica's 19-year old sis cited acid reflux disease, saying it caused swollen vocal cords. Uh-huh. Now if she'd claimed a more tangible GI problem, like, diarrhea, we might have believed her.
