The phrase comes from the incident, at the 2004 Superbowl, where Janet Jackson's blouse was accidentally ripped by Justin Timberlake during a song/dance duet. The torn blouse actually just kind of came apart, exposing one of her breasts. Some people actually thought it was part of the act! Jackson's spokespeople characterized it as a "wardrobe malfunction" by way of explanation.
