Those viewers who watched the Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock Duet at the 2011 CMT Music Awards this week got more than they bargained for in the form of a wardrobe malfunction on Crow's part.

She was seated on a stool, wearing a short skirt, and as the stood up she gave the audience an inadvertent panty flash. This predictably had the gossip news buzzing more than the actual performance of the new duet "Collide." Toward the end of the Awards show, Crow admitted her mistake publicly to co-presenter Sara Evans. She said she had noticed the Twitter feeds light up as soon as the flub occurred, and apologized publicly for showing her underwear. Evans made light of the incident by joking that "Well, at least you were wearing underwear."

High waist briefs are making a fashion come back as women discard their thongs in favour of larger knickers. Recent surveys are showing that more women are tossing out the thong underwear and grabbing for larger knickers, boosting sales of big pants up 42 percent in just 3 months. Up to twice the size of normal knickers, waist-nippers flatter the hourglass figure by trimming in a woman's stomach and pushing out the hips and breasts. Lingerie retailers say the surge in demand for larger knickers is primarily due to the patronage of stars who have sparked an "underwear-as- outerwear" trend.
A spokeswoman for Marks & Spencer, which sells more than a quarter of Britain's pants and bras, added: 'We have seen a big shift away from the skimpier shapes. Gone are the days of the off-white Bridget-Jones-style knickers.'
