Law.com - 3rd Circuit Judges Grill DOJ Attorney in CBS 'Wardrobe Malfunction' Case:

In his brief, Corn-Revere noted that Jackson and Timberlake were chosen in part because they both had national television experience. But Rendell said the record also included a memo from NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue to CBS President Leslie Moonves that seemed to warn of problems with Jackson.

Corn-Revere disagreed, saying the memo was expressing only "general concerns" that related not to Jackson but to "an earlier incident where the NFL had been embarrassed by a performance by Britney Spears."

The courtroom erupted with laughter when Corn-Revere added: "of course, who hasn't been."
