"That's why I'm not completely sold Janet was necessarily in on the deal (Justin has a rep though). Janet is normally so careful about her image, I think she'd go for something that provided a little more support and flattering appearance. It'll be interesting to hear her statement."

Normally I would agree with this statement, but I find it highly doubtful that Janet likes to wear tassels over her nipples for the fun of it--those were strategically placed for a reason.

It wasn't a tassel, it was a nipple shield, and her nipple is exposed.

Well, if we're going to dissect it... :-)

It wasn't a tassel (I thought so too, until the close-ups were posted), but rather a piercing (nipple shield to be precise, where the jewelry is held in place with a bar). What she wore definitely wasn't meant to act as a tassel or provide coverage of any type.

I certainly don't think the existence of the jewelry in that area would mean there's a plan for it to appear.

That being said, we haven't heard from her yet, Justin has gotten grabby on stage before, MTV's playing this up (at this point) on their website, and I would have hoped if she had planned this out she'd come up with a more flattering presentation. :-)

As for the fun aspect, you'll come across plenty of people who will vouch for it, but I can't imagine her getting it done just for the SB (although the SB is a big deal).
