MARIAH CAREY - MARIAH CAREY'S CLOTHES FALL OFF

Pop beauty MARIAH CAREY accidentally flashed her breasts at stunned fans during a TV show in Germany when her dress fell apart.

The HONEY star, who experienced a moment reminiscent of JANET JACKSON's infamous "wardrobe malfunction" last year (04), was saved from further shame when floor managers cut the lights to allow the singer to recover her dignity - and clothes - in obscurity, according to MTV news.

But the red-faced superstar saw the funny side, quipping, "Someone bring me a jacket or the show's off, we all know how quickly these images can spread around the world."

Carey dashed backstage in the dark clutching her clothes in place before reappearing looking perfect, and bravely continuing with the show.
