More than four years after the fact, a Federal appeals court ruled that CBS does not have to pay a fine for the 2004 Superbowl nipplegate. The court called the FCC's original $550,000 fine against CBS for Janet Jackson's exposed breast arbitrary and capricious. • First pics of Halle Berry's new baby girl, Nahla Ariela are here! You can't see her face but she has a very cute back-of-head area. • So nice to see Patrick Swayze out and about, looking healthy. He's still shooting his new tv show, The Beast, and even though he has been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer, he told paparazzi yesterday, ""I'm cookin'. I'm a miracle dude! I don't know why." Aw. • It's been a week or two since their rumored affair broke, so now there's the obligatory A-Rod and Madonna sex tape rumor! [TMZ, Us, Dlisted, Perez]

Mario Lopez was recently named People's Hottest Bachelor, though some of you strongly disagreed. In addition to your speculation that his Calvins were more codpiece than Little Mario, Star Magazine has definitive evidence that Mario waxes his chest despite his protestation otherwise. Click the picture to see what Queerty calls the "three hairs on his tits." You just know Slater would never have waxed. [People, Star Magazine, Queerty]

Did Janet Jackson's exposed breast sound...

Did Janet Jackson's exposed breast sound the death knell for women performing during the Super Bowl halftime show? The brand new Pagesix.com calls our attention to the fact that since Janet's Nipplegate in 2004, only male rockers over 40 have performed during the big game. The 2008 pick? Decrepit Tom Petty. In 2005, Paul McCartney performed, followed by the Rolling Stones in '06 and Prince in '07. Dear NFL: The image of a withered, shirtless Mick Jagger was much more retinally damaging than a little ol' surgically enhanced nipple.
