Britney Spears, Pamela Anderson And Our Favorite Wardrobe Malfunctions


Now that video has surfaced of Britney Spears announcing her latest wardrobe malfunction onstage in Tampa, Florida, on Sunday, the pop singer may well be regretting that particular Circus getup. And on Friday, while walking the catwalk at Vivienne Westwood’s Paris Fashion Week show, Pamela Anderson found out the hard way that most fashion just is not designed to support someone with her bust. Though the former Playmate is no stranger to baring it all, on this occasion she flashed the crowd (and the cameras) twice unintentionally. (Examiner.com has a safe-for-work account of the event.)

But we’re here to remind Pam and Brit that they’re in good company. These latest incidents assure their placement in a pantheon of wardrobe malfunctions we’re not likely to forget, ever:

· During a 2005 concert in Germany, Mariah Carey’s dress came apart in the middle of the show. Fans in the audience caught a quick glimpse of the singer topless before organizers cut out the lights.

· In 2005, Anna Nicole Smith shocked the crowd at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry, when her dress slipped leaving her exposed. Oh, how we miss her!

· During her tumultuous 2007, Britney Spears stepped out of a car, surrounded by paparazzi, when her dress pulled back to reveal she was actually panty-less. This was not an isolated incident for Miss Spears.

· Lindsay Lohan was on the red carpet of the 2008 MTV Movie Awards when a gust of wind pulled up her dress. Unlike Britney, she was at least wearing underwear.

· Back in 2006, during her music video shoot, Paris Hilton gave her bathing suit all it could handle, until it finally gave way.

· Then there’s Tara Reid. While on the carpet for Diddy’s 2004 birthday celebration, her dress slipped off on one shoulder revealing her breast in front of a sea of photographers.

· And we’d be remiss not to mention the moment that popularized the term “wardrobe malfunction” in the first place: Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake’s infamous 2004 Super Bowl halftime performance. Seems we still don’t know what exactly went wrong with Miss Jackson’s dress there.

You’d think, by now, that stylists and assistants would figure out how to protect these stars from overexposure. But where would the fun be in that?

Pamela Anderson saves dogs


MUMBAI - US ACTRESS Pamela Anderson has appealed to the authorities in India's financial capital Mumbai not to put down nuisance stray dogs, instead calling for them to be sterilised.

'It is well established that killing stray dogs is not a permanent solution to controlling their populations,' the former 'Baywatch' star said in a letter to the municipal commission of Greater Mumbai.

'Dogs cannot use condoms, but with the municipality's help, they can be 'fixed' - painlessly, quickly and permanently,' she added in the letter, made public by activist group the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta).

There are thought to be some 70,000 stray dogs in India's financial and entertainment capital, and there are widespread concerns about their role in spreading disease, including deadly rabies.

Anderson's letter, which cited World Health Organisation and Animal Health Board of India support for mass sterilisation, comes after a legal ruling here to destroy nuisance dogs.

Expressing her concern at the court decision, the 41-year-old called instead for civic authorities to promote a sterilisation programme for stray dogs and those adopted and bought from animal shelters and pet shops. -- AFP
