The Boss Will Rock Super Bowl

Posted Sep 29, 08 10:15 AM CDT in Arts & Living,  Sports 

(Newser) – Another Super Bowl, another rock superstar at halftime. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will perform during the Super Bowl halftime show in Tampa, Fla., on Feb. 1, reports the AP. Since 2004's debacle, the big game's halftime performers have been oldies but goodies—the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Prince, and Tom Petty—who don't run the risk of Janet Jackson-style wardrobe malfunctions.

    Scarborough Slips F-Word Into Morning Joe MSNBC host Joe Scarborough dropped what he calls an F-bomb on Morning Joe today, letting the profanity slip when describing Rahm Emanuel's hard-charging style as “flipping people off and screaming F-you at the top of their lungs.” Which might be inconsequential, writes Glenn Greenwald for Salon, except that Scarborough has relentlessly railed against profanity on American airwaves and pushed for strict FCC penalties against violators.

    Court Tosses Super Bowl Fine A federal appeals court today threw out the FCC $550,000 fine against CBS for Janet Jackson’s infamous 2004 “wardrobe malfunction.” The decency watchdogs were found to have acted arbitrarily in changing their policy of not punishing fleeting nudity, Broadcasting & Cable reports. The court separately said the network couldn’t be held "vicariously liable" for the halftime breast-baring—that is, liable for something it didn't plan and could not foresee. More »
