MADONNA FLASHES NIPPLE AT ISTANBUL CONCERT

Madonna's fans in Istanbul, Turkey, got an unexpected surprise/shock Saturday night when the 53-year-old singer pulled her top down and flashed her right breast to the crowd.

The Material Girl was in the middle of her 1995 single "Human Nature" when she exposed her nipple in an even more blatant and intentional wardrobe malfunction than Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson's Nipplegate controversy at Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004.

The singer appeared to be playing the crowd while dancing on stage and performing a striptease in which she removed her shirt and a support strap before sauntering to the front of the stage and pulling down the right cup of her bra.

The crowd of 55,000 went wild with a roar of approval and when she turned around the words "No Fear" were temporarily tattooed across her back. The singer also went on to put her hand down her pants before singing her megahit "Like A Virgin."

Nipplegate II is the second time the singer has stirred a controversy in just over a week - during the first night of her world tour to promote new album "MDNA" the singer flashed an image of France's National Front leader Marine Le Pen on video screens during her show with a swastika superimposed over the politician's forehead.

CONTROVERSIAL CROWNING OF BRADLEY AS THE NEW WBO WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION

CONTROVERSIAL CROWNING OF BRADLEY AS WBO WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION

I bet each and everyone of you have heard about the CONTROVERSIAL CROWNING of

Timothy  Bradley as the 2012 WBO WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION.

Timothy Bradley said to have defeated Manny Pacquiao in a 12-round boxing match last June 9, 2012 in MGM Grand Arena in Nevada, USA.

If you had watch the fight, it is noticeable that Manny Pacquiao seemed to dominate the fight against Timothy Bradley from the opening round until the middle round. While there were a few (3-4) rounds that seemed like that could be scored for Bradley, it seemed impossible by the time the final bell had sounded that Timothy Bradley had done nearly enough to take a decision but unfortunately that's exactly what happened.

Manny Pacquiao's hard straight left landed on Bradley's face almost all night long from the early to middle rounds. 

Manny's powerful blows were certainly more telling than Bradley's much lighter shots. Beyond the quality and power of the shots landed, Pacquiao dominated in terms of actual punches landed and accuracy.

Manny Pacquiao landed better, bigger, monster punches that rocked Timothy Bradley. See Video!

Manny Pacquiao landed 253 out of 751 thrown whereas Bradley landed only 159 out of 839 thrown.

This is clearly the worst decision ever that the Nevada Athletic Commission had made. Keith Kizer, executive director of the Nevada Athletic Commission should overturn the judges decision and suspend the two judges who declared Bradley as the winner.

"I've never been as ashamed of the sport of boxing as I am tonight"-Bob Arum

"Can you believe that? Unbelievable, I went over to Bradley before the decision and he said, 'I tried hard but I couldn't beat the guy."- Bob Arum

"He hurt me a couple of times with his left. He's a beast." - Timothy Bradley 

"I got my second wind in the sixth round I worked the angles, sticking and moving." - Timothy Bradley  

"He never hurt me with his punches, most of them landed on my arms"-Pacquiao 

"I did my best but I guess my best wasn't good enough." - Manny Pacquiao

Mark November 10, 2012 on your calendar that will be the date of the rematch between Manny Pacquiao vs.Timothy Bradley.
