And let's hope this is the last we hear of a certain wardrobe malfunction.

The long-running legal saga involving the escape of Janet Jackson's right breast during the halftime show of the 2004 Super Bowl has apparently come to an end as a federal appeals court today tossed out the $550,000 indecency fine against CBS Corp.

In its ruling, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the Federal Communications Commission "acted arbitrarily and capriciously" when it issued the pricey penalty against the network for the boob slippage.

Hide the kids and lock the doors, we're guessing Amy Winehouse isn't going to take this well.

After more than seven months in lockup, the troubled songbird's beloved and beleaguered husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, has copped to roughing up a barkeep and then trying to cover it up.

Fielder-Civil, 26, pleaded guilty to committing grievous bodily harm and conspiring to pervert the course of justice (i.e., witness tampering) related to the 2006 pub brawl, and now faces years behind bars.

The news comes just a day after a damning videotape surfaced showing the two in an apparent drug-fueled meltdown.

From the Beav to Gary Coleman to Justin Timberlake to The Golden Girls, the 6th annual TV Land Awards had all demographics covered.

The ceremony, taped Sunday night at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, honored the best and brightest in the world of entertainment, including movies and music, and made for some good TV.

Lionel Richie, who was on hand to receive an Icon Award from Samuel L. Jackson for 40 years in showbiz, performed some of his greatest hits and gave some tongue-in-cheek props to his one-time wild child daughter. "Just surviving 27 years of Nicole Richie...I stand here as a survivor," he joked (we think).

Though his infant twins have fully recovered from their scary medical incident, Dennis Quaid and his wife are still fired up.

Speaking to the Los Angeles Times in his first interview since the event, the actor said he was misled by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center staff into thinking his kids were safe and healthy the night they endured the side effects of a severe drug overdose. Quaid claims a nurse told him the kids were "just fine" when he called on Nov. 18 to check on them before turning in for the night.

It turns out the children were far from fine. Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace were mistakenly given 1,000 times the recommended dose of the blood thinner heparin to treat a staph infection. Quaid says that neither he nor his wife, Kimberly, were notified of the mistake as staff members worked through the night to reverse the serious effects of the overdose.

"Our kids could have been dying, and we wouldn't have been able to come down to the hospital to say goodbye," Quaid told the newspaper in Tuesday's edition.

The In Good Company star says he was furious when he arrived at 6:30 a.m. the next day and that treatment decisions had been made without his consent. Instead of arriving to find two healthy babies, he was met by a pediatrician, a nurse and a risk management department rep.

Though they had received an antidote, the overdose had left the children's blood too thin to clot, which resulted in uncontrollable bleeding every time a bandage was changed, according to Kimberly Quaid.

"They were in incubators with cords attached to them and monitors, and you could barely hold them," she told the Times. "Every time you'd move them, the alarms would sound...The stress was overwhelming."

The couple went on to say they felt betrayed by the hospital and believe the news of the overdose was leaked to the media by hospital staff. This further infuriated them and caused a great deal of heartache for friends and family who learned of the incident through Internet reports rather than from the couple themselves. "We were told that it was not a big deal," Kimberly Quaid said. "We figured we'd be home in a couple days and nobody would know any different. That wasn't the case."

Cedars-Sinai has since changed its policy regarding the administering of heparin. A spokesman also offered the following statement: "Throughout the course of their children's hospitalization and continuing today, we have reached out to the Quaids to discuss any concerns or questions they have. We would like to continue to discuss all of these and any other concerns directly with the Quaids to identify and resolve any questions."

Susan E. Loggans, the Quaids' lawyer, says her clients haven't yet decided if they are going to sue Cedars-Sinai, telling the Times, "We want to see how they respond. We'd like to give them a chance to right a wrong."

They are, however, moving forward with their lawsuit against Baxter Healthcare Corp., one of the manufacturers of heparin. The Quaids claim that the product labeling and design led to the error. Baxter reps say the mistake was a result of improper use and the company is not at fault.

As for little Thomas and Zoe, who were born Nov. 8 to a surrogate, they seem to have made a full recovery, something Dennis Quaid credits to "prayer" rather than the skill of the Cedars-Sinai team.

"We have our babies back, and they seem to be doing great, and they're just a lot of fun to be with," he said.

In the meantime, the couple is planning to start a foundation to promote patient safety.

Eminem is getting some R&R after a rough patch over the holidays.

Instead of spending time under the tree, the 35-year-old rapper logged some days in sick bay.

"Over the holidays, Marshall Mathers, aka Eminem, was under doctor's care at a Detroit-area hospital for complications due to pneumonia," the rapper's publicist, Dennis Dennehy, said.

"He has since been released and is doing well recovering at home."

Dennehy did no comment on a TMZ report that claimed Slim Shady had also been suffering from an unspecified heart ailment and that his weight had ballooned to more than 200 pounds.

Following a disastrous 2006 that saw him remarry and redivorce Kim Mathers and then serve a stint in rehab, Eminem kept a relatively low profile last year, spending most of his time in the studio producing tracks for fellow rappers on his label, Shady Records, and working on his own new studio album.

"I'm always working—I'm always in the studio. It feels good right now, the energy of the label," he said in a call to New York's Hot 97 in September. "For a while, I didn't want to go back to the studio...I went through some personal things. I'm coming out of those personal things [and] it feels good."

Dr. Dre is helping Eminem shape the new album, his first full collection of new tracks since 2004’s Encore. The Oscar- and Grammy-winning rapper has not announced a title or a relase date for the new album, but it is expected to drop later this year.
