The Nose Is Ready For Another Janet Jackson Halftime Show

Netflix's new 10-episode series "Mindhunter" tells the story of the beginnings of criminal psychology and criminal profiling at the FBI. As such, at its heart, it's really just a police procedural. But, with David Fincher as one of its producers, the show rises above a well-worn genre with its look and feel reminiscent of movies like Se7en and Zodiac.

And: You might remember the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show, if only because of Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's "wardrobe malfunction" and the ensuing controversies and fines and lawsuits. Jackson and Timberlake were rumored to have been banned from ever appearing on another halftime show because of the incident. Until now, anyway, as it's been announced that Justin Timberlake will play next year's Super Bowl. But what about Janet Jackson?
