Another Day, Another Nicki Minaj Nip Slip [PHOTOS]

4414561

It seems like every other day now another celebrity is baring a breast or an a*s cheek, and while half the time its on purpose (ahem, Kim Kardashian), thats not always the case. It looks like Nicki Minaj and her bra just cant catch a break.

The 32-year-old was Andy Cohens guest Wednesday night on Bravos Watch What Happens Live, and her plunging top was not very forgiving during the interview.

The flash of nipple came right after Cohen introduced her and the camera focused in on her and her chest as she grinned and was completely unaware. It took a few minutes for the censors to blur it out, but that was enough time for the world to get a glimpse.

But this isnt the first time Minaj has had a wardrobe mess. Shes showed off accidentally a time or two before. (RELATED: Nicki Minajs Bra Plays Peek-A-Boo)

Jay Cutler: I want to stay in Chicago

Jay Cutler was blindsided when told he would be benched in favor of Jimmy Clausen.

"Shocked I think at first, I didn't see it coming," Cutler said Thursday of his initial reaction.

Despite the benching, which could signify a potential end to his career with the Chicago Bears, the quarterback said he doesn't want to play elsewhere.

"I would like to stay here," Cutler said. "I really like it here. I love the guys in the locker room. This is where I'd like to be."

The 31-year-old quarterback is in his sixth season in Chicago and signed a seven-year, $127 million contract in the offseason, with $54 million guaranteed.

Cutler has been in the eye of the storm surrounding the Bears in 2014. The quarterback's poor play has been criticized all season -- he leads the NFL in turnovers. The turmoil hit its peak last week after NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported about the Bears' having "buyer's remorse" over his contract. Bears offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer then admitted to the team he was the source of one part of the report criticizing Cutler's play.

After being told of his demotion, the quarterback said he considered that Monday night's disaster could have been his last game in Chicago.

"Yeah. It definitely crossed my mind, for sure," Cutler said.

The veteran admitted that he "didn't take the benching well" after being told on Wednesday that Trestman was going to go with Clausen.

However, in a very even-keeled presser on Thursday, Cutler added he believes he could still work with Trestman if both returned to Chicago next year, calling him a "heck of a quarterback coach."

Barring a drastic change in on-field play, it doesn't appear Trestman will survive more than the final two games of the season. The Bears will then have a decision to make on what to do with their high-priced quarterback.

Cutler wants to remain in Chicago, but it's likely not his choice to make.

The 'Survivor' final five speaks (and blasts Reed for his 'wicked stepmother ...

[SPOILER ALERT: Read on only if you have already watched the season finale of Survivor: San Juan del Sur.]

Throughout their time on The Amazing Race, twinnies Natalie and Nadiya Anderson were a love em or loathe em pair. And nowhere was that better demonstrated than on thisseason of Survivor: Nadiya was the very first person voted out, and last night Natalie was voted the one million dollar winner of Survivor: San Juan del Sur. Just 12 hours after her victory, Natalie called into Entertainment Weekly Radio (SiriusXM, channel 105)still drunk, I might addto talk all about her big moves leading up to the final vote. And you can now hear that entire drunken interview right here on the InsideTV Podcast. But the thing Natalie seems most fired up about was Reeds brutally harsh takedown of her competitor Missy as a wicked stepmother at the final Tribal Council. A few of Natalies comments:

I wanted to get up and cuss Reed out.

I would have cussed Reed out if I wasnt trying to win a million bucks.

Reed is a little bit of a diva.

I probably would have sucker-punched Reed right there.

Clearly, this is an interview you need to hear for yourself. But thats not all. We also spoke with the entire final five, meaning we also got reactions from both Missy and Baylor as to Reeds rant. What did they think then and what do they have to say about it now? A few highlights:

Missy says Reed is a performer and describes his comments as completely uncalled for. She also calls his Christian standards into question, saying you should walk the talk in life.

Missy calls Reeds non-apology at the reunion a bunch of hogwash.

Missy says Reed voted for Jaclyn to spite me. (Because his vote gave Jaclyn the second place prize money and dropped Missy down to third.)

Meanwhile, Baylor calls the event the worst thing I could have imagined happening at a final Tribal Council, and labels Reeds non-apology as typical.

But not all the opinion towards Reeds words is negative. We also spoke with runner-up Jaclyn and asked Miss Michigan about her thoughts on Reedgate: I thought it was great, she said (no doubt because it helped her at the final Tribal) while adding that Reed was not the only person who felt that way about Missy: A lot of people didnot just Reed. Jaclyn also talks about her big come-from-behind challenge win (turns out she went up and down the stairs twice because she messed up the first time on the numbers), whether she thought she had won the million dollars, and if she regrets taking Natalie to the end.

Plus, Keith answers the one question weve all been thinking: Dude, did you have any idea whatsoever what the h**l you were doing out there? His answer: No idea. He also explains his huge stick to the plan screw-up and why the h**l he spits so much.

Trade for Rajon Rondo Will Help Nowitzki, Mavs Go for Title

Mark Cuban promised Dirk Nowitzki hed get him some help to compete for another title and the Mavs did exactly that Thursday when they traded for Bostons veteran playmaker Rajon Rondo.

Just on sheer talent alone, Rondo gives the Mavs a better shot of winning the West. The four-time All-Star will be a free agent this summer and according to league sources, hes amenable to staying long-term in Dallas.

All you hear about Rondo is that hes a head case and a big attitude problem in the locker room. No doubt, even when the Celtics were the cream of the Eastern Conference in their Big Three era of Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen, he was a handful for Doc Rivers, and often didnt get along with Allen, most notably.

As Kobe Bryant once noted about Rondo, from what I understand, hes an ahole, like me.

Rondo took it as a compliment: I feel the same way about him.

If only the Lakers could have paired the two. When the Celtics were winning, Rondo delivered huge playoff games during their 2008 title run and when they took Bryant and the Lakers to a seventh game in 2010. Thats why the Mavs had some competition for Rondo, most notably from the Rockets.

Among his big playoff games, he delivered a triple-double on Mothers Day of 2010 in a win in Boston over LeBron James in the Eastern Conference semis. In that tour de force performance that tied the series after four games _ James last one as a Cavalier; hed bolt to Miami two months later _ Rondo became only the third player in playoff history to have at least 29 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists, according to Elias Sports Bureau. Whod he tie? Oscar Robertson and Wilt Chamberlain. Yeah, pretty nice company.

Now thats five years ago and Rondo, who turns 29 in two months, has torn an ACL in a knee since then and suffered other injuries, including a broken hand this season. Neither has been impacting his recent play, according to scouts.

The trade should put extra fuel in his tank while giving the Mavs a better chance of knocking off the Spurs, Thunder and Warriors in a playoff series. First off, he gets to leave Boston, going nowhere fast in another rebuilding season and with no light at the end of the tunnel. Go ahead and laugh at this thought: Id rather have Phillys situation than Bostons.

Rondo joins a first-class operation in Dallas, with one of the top coaches in the game in Rick Carlisle. h**l be pumped about playing for a playoff team again, with the Mavs currently 19-8. Thats only good enough for third in their own Southwest Division and sixth in the West, while that record would have them nipping at the heels of first-place Toronto in the East.

But thats why getting Rondo was a must for Dallas. You know who should be equally fired up? Nowitzki. Hes stayed in Dallas and has given the Mavs a hometown discount, re-upping last summer for only $25 million over three seasons. He took a $14 million paycut from last season in the belief that Cuban, along with GM Donnie Nelson, will put the right pieces around him.

Britney Spears proves her abs are real in photo shoot video

Sorry doubters: Britney Spears abs are real.

The pop stars cover on the January/February issue of Womens Health lit up the Internet earlier this week when many suspected the stars face and body had been Photoshopped.

I love Britney to the moon and back, a fan wrote on her Facebook page about the cover. However, this looks NOTHING like her. Seriously, who's face is that?

I'm pretty sure her body isn't that perfect, another fan wrote on her page.

But a behind-the-scenes video from the photo shoot puts the rumors to rest, since they show off Spears rock-hard midriff sans digital retouching.

The Womanizer singer looks relaxed and at ease as she poses for the camera and shows off her fit body, which shesaid in the magazine interview comes from her commitment to working out.

Daily exercise is important for me both mentally and physically, the star said. I dont mind working out. Trainers keep you motivated, but I didnt have a problem being motivated.

As for those who feel the stars face on the cover was Photoshopped, insiders involved with the shoot told TMZ that Spears face was not digitally retouched, but contoured with makeup.

The singer herself seems pleased with the Womens Health photo shoot, tweeting her thanks for featuring her on the cover.

Twin Killing! Natalie Wins Season Finale Of 'Survivor'

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) In the end, Natalie Anderson was named the ultimate Survivor in the shows season finale and walked away with the $1 million prize.

Survivor: San Juan del Sur, the shows 29th installment, began with 18 loved ones pitted against one another in the series second Blood vs. Water match.

Natalie, a crossfit coach, started the game with her twin sister Nadiya, the first person voted out of the game.

The 28-year-old twins hail from Edgewater, N.J., and appeared on Amazing Race twice.

This was a season rife with twists (the requisite backstabbing) but more blindsides than normal.

Trust was a big issue this season with people openly (and sometimes strangely) calling each other out moments before an elimination vote. There may also have been a record number of castaways who lied about having hidden immunity idols; sometimes the lie worked, but often it didnt.

Type A personalities, including John Rocker, the controversial former Major League Baseball player who endeared himself to no one with a Sports Illustrated article in whichhe famously disparaged New Yorkers, Asians, gays, blacks, minorities, people who rode the 7 train and punk rockers. After being recognized by some of his tribe members, Rocker had a target on his back.

The final three included Anderson, Missy Payne, a cheerleader from Texas, and former Miss Michigan USA Jaclyn Schulz.

Other teams were composedof mother/daughter, boyfriends, married couple, father/daughter, brothers, father/son, boyfriend/girlfriend.

Natalie and Nadiya Anderson teamed up for Survivor. One was kicked off the island first, the other was the ultimate winner. (credit: CBS)

Before the season began, Natalie described herself as crazy, strong and confident. She said her pet peeves were girls who cant do anything for themselves, lazy people and dumb people.

Natalie won five jury votes, Schulz got two and Payne got a single vote.

The newest Survivor winner told CBS2s Suzanne Marques that she really hadnt decided what she would do with her winnings just yet.

I think Im going to go out to dinner with my parents and say Mom and dad, dont worry. I got this. I can pay for a fancy dinner now,' Natalie quipped.

Nadyia has a nice chunk of change coming her way, too, Natalie said.

In the shows 30th installment, host/producer Jeff Probst revealed three tribes (blue collar, white collar and no collar) would compete against one another in Nicaragua. Survivor: Worlds Apart begins in February. Probst told Entertainment Weekly the show hasnt aired or been edited yet and its already one my favorites.
