A federal appeals court threw out a $550,000 indecency fine against CBS Corp. for the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show that ended with Janet Jackson’s breast-baring “wardrobe malfunction.” The three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Federal Communications Commission “acted arbitrarily and capriciously” in issuing the fine for the fleeting image of nudity. The 90 million people watching the Super Bowl heard Justin Timberlake sing, “Gonna have you naked by the end of this song,” as he reached for Jackson’s bustier. The court found that the FCC deviated from its nearly 30-year practice of fining indecent broadcast programming only when it was so “pervasive as to amount to ’shock treatment’ for the audience.”"Like any agency, the FCC may change its policies without judicial second-guessing,” the court said. “But it cannot change a well-established course of action without supplying notice of and a reasoned explanation for its policy departure.” The 3rd Circuit judges also ruled that the FCC deviated from its long-held approach of applying identical standards to words and images when reviewing complaints of indecency.”The Commission’s determination that CBS’s broadcast of a nine-sixteenths of one second glimpse of a bare female breast was actionably indecent evidenced the agency’s departure from its prior policy,” the court found. “Its orders constituted the announcement of a policy change, that fleeting images would no longer be excluded from the scope of actionable indecency.” In a statement, CBS said it hoped the decision “will lead the FCC to return to the policy of restrained indecency enforcement it followed for decades.”"This is an important win for the entire broadcasting industry because it recognizes that there are rare instances, particularly during live programming, when it may not be possible to block unfortunate fleeting material, despite best efforts,” the network said. The FCC had argued that Jackson’s nudity, although fleeting, was graphic and explicit and CBS should have been forewarned. In challenging the fine, CBS said that “fleeting, isolated or unintended” images should not automatically be considered indecent. The FCC said Jackson and Timberlake were employees of CBS and that the network should have to pay for their “willful” actions, given its lack of oversight.

Angelina Jolie has given birth to a girl and a boy, and dad Brad Pitt took the whole thing in stride. The obstetrician who delivered the twins, Dr. Michel Sussmann, said the babies, Jolie and Pitt “are doing marvelously well.” Jolie gave birth to a boy, Knox Leon, and a girl, Vivienne Marcheline, by Caesarean section about 8 p.m. Saturday in Nice in southern France. Jolie had a local anesthetic and was conscious throughout, the doctor said. Pitt was in the delivery room at the seaside Lenval hospital as the babies were born one minute apart, Sussman said, the boy weighing just over 5 pounds and the girl 5 pounds. “He was perfectly calm and everything went well,” Sussmann said.”He was very happy. The emotion was very strong for him,” the doctor added. “Angelina Jolie was speaking, was laughing with her husband. They were happy. The mother, the babies, the father are doing marvelously well,” he said. Sussmann said the Caesarean was moved forward from its originally planned date “for medical reasons” so the babies could be born “in the best conditions.” The doctor did not give details. He said Jolie is expected to stay in the hospital for a few more days and that she now needs rest. Though the lenses of the world”s paparazzi had been trained on maternity wards across the French Riviera, Jolie managed to slip unobserved into the clinic, reportedly arriving by helicopter on the hospital’s rooftop helipad. Pitt was seen coming and going after Jolie”s hospitalization became public.Paparazzi and curious sightseers gathered outside the hospital in Nice on Sunday, hoping for glimpses and shots of Pitt. Local newspaper, Nice Matin, which first broke news of the birth, reported Sunday that the couple have sold rights for the first photo of their newly enlarged family to an unnamed publication and that the proceeds would go to charity. The first photos of the new twins are expected to bring millions of dollars.

Christie Brinkley’s lurid divorce trial came to an abrupt end when lawyers for her and her husband reached an out-of-court settlement that gives her sole custody of their two children. The settlement was reached after an all-night session that resolved all issues between Brinkley and her estranged husband, architect Peter Cook, Brinkley’s lawyer, Robert Stephan Cohen, told the court. Under the agreement, Brinkley will give Cook $2.1 million but keep 18 properties in the Hamptons that were at dispute. Cook will get time with the children, under an agreement mutually satisfactory to both. Cohen said the remainder of the settlement was confidential.”It’s to me a very bittersweet moment because it really is the death of a marriage,” Brinkley said after the settlement was announced in court. “I”m very pleased with the results today. I was here fighting for custody.” Brinkley was married to Cook for a decade before his affair with a teenager he met in a Southampton toy store catapulted their troubles into the public spotlight in 2006. The trial, which was in its sixth day, revealed a litany of salacious allegations about Cook’s affair with Diana Bianchi, who was 18 at the time, as well as interactive Internet sex liaisons that cost him thousands of dollars a month. Cook testified he gave Bianchi a $300,000 payoff after having trysts with her in his office and Brinkley’s Hamptons homes for several months in 2005.Brinkley said she was devastated to learn of the affair from the Bianchi’s stepfather, moments after she had delivered a commencement speech at Southampton High School.

Christie Brinkley testified at her divorce trial that the day she learned her husband was having an affair with a teenager was the day “my life as I knew it had vanished.” She took the stand in state Supreme Court, after testimony by her architect-husband, Peter Cook, and his former mistress. Brian Platt, a police officer and the stepfather of the 18-year-old, informed Brinkley of the affair at a 2006 graduation at Southampton High School where she was a speaker. He tapped her on the shoulder, she tearfully recalled, and said, “That husband of yours won’t knock it off. He’s having an affair with my teenage daughter.” Brinkley said she looked at Cook, sitting in the front row, and when he shook his head in denial, she thought: “My God, it’s true. He did do that.”"That was also the day that my world was completely shattered,” said Brinkley.
