The infamous 'wardrobe malfunction'
When Janet Jackson performed at the Super Bowl halftime show in 2004, she pulled out Justin Timberlake as a surprise guest.

Following the iconic "wardrobe malfunction", some call it "Nipplegate", Timberlake's then-flourishing solo career took off, while Jackson's career came spiraling down.
The pop icon then issued an apology shortly, saying it was not her intention "that it go as far as it did" as the decision for the supposed-to-be costume reveal was decided after the final rehearsals of the performance.
