Pop hunk Justin Timberlake has profusely apologized for exposing Janet Jackson's right breast during this year's Super Bowl - saying it was an unintentional "wardrobe malfunction". The "Rock Your Body" singer, 22, stunned audiences across America with the raunchy display during the halftime show - produced by music network MTV. And in response to the angry complaints from viewers, who felt the performance breached decency and taste guidelines, both Timberlake and network CBS - who screened the event - have been forced to say sorry. Timberlake's statement reads, "I am sorry that anyone was offended by the wardrobe malfunction during the halftime performance of the Super Bowl. It was not intentional and is regrettable." TV network spokeswoman Leslieanne Wade adds, "CBS deeply regrets the incident. There was no indication any such thing would happen." Now the future of MTV's glitzy shows has been thrown into doubt by the incident, despite TV bosses insisting the stunt was "unrehearsed, unplanned, completely unintentional". When asked if MTV will be put in charge of the festivities again, Nfl executive vice president Joe Browne said it would be "unlikely".
