A top-25 celebrity scandal list compiled by a US magazine has named Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake’s Super Bowl “wardrobe malfunction”” as the number-one celebrity scandal since 1982. “With nearly 90 million people watching, many of them children, the incident became a flash point for family-values groups who had long argued that Hollywood was polluting kids’ minds and now they had proof,” a magazine rep explains. Following in close second was Mel Gibson’s infamous “the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world” rant. Michael Jackson dangling his baby off a balcony and Britney Spears shaving her head also featured on the list. [29 August 2007]
