1. Warrior Princess Caught Without Breastplate In May 1997, Lucy Lawless, raven-haired star of Xena: Warrior Princess, sang the national anthem at a Detroit Red Wings game in a ultra-tight bustier. When she spread her arms to belt out that big final note, the land of the brave became the home of the free show.

Upshot: Xena continued to be a popular show in syndication with girls, despite nude pictures of Lawless still posted on the Internet. The Kiwi cutie told reporters years later, "Hockey has never been the same for me since." 2. Katarina on Thin Ice: At a 1988 Paris figure skating show, Olympic gold medalist Katarina Witt's costume slid down her torso, exposing her chest to the French crowd. A German magazine published a semi-nude picture of the mortified East German champion, noting, "You can't get any more glasnost than that."

Upshot: A decade later, Witt became a Playboy bunny, in a layout that featured the four-time world champion in a nightgown and high heels in some photos — and a whole lot less in others — with the headline, "The gold medal skater goes from 5.9 to perfect 10."

"The pictures are beautiful and pure and natural. They're nude, but they still have a feeling of innocence," said Witt, now a TV sports commentator in Berlin.

3. Anderson Can’t Cover Her Bets: Ever wonder why horse racing fans always bring binoculars to the track? The antics of Pam Anderson and former fiancé Kid Rock at the 2001 Kentucky Derby are legendary.

The buxom blonde caused quite a stir at the Barnstable Brown Gala during race weekend when her treacherous top slip down, exposing her breasts as she kissed then-beau Rock. He didn't seem to mind.
