MICHAEL JACKSON'S DAD FLASHES A GUN WHILE J-LO FLASHES A NIPPLE!

Wenn reports that Michael Jackson's father Joe stunned onlookers by showing off what appeared to be a handgun at a Las Vegas awards show over the weekend.

The 84 year old was onstage at the Black Music Awards in Sin City when he opened his suit jacket to reveal a holster attached to his belt.

The musical family's patriarch was recalling a past confrontation with the King of Pop's bodyguards, and told the crowd, "I carry a piece (gun) everywhere I go... I'm gonna show it to you."

According to TMZ.com, he insisted, "I've been threatened a lot of times and so I need to be safe."

The entertainment website also published a photograph above of Jackson speaking into a microphone at the event while showing off what looked like a revolver tucked underneath his jacket.

MEANWHILE, Jennifer Lopez suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction during a show in Italy when she accidentally flashed her nipple to the crowd.

The singer/actress was performing a sold-out concert in Bologna, Italy last Thursday when her sequinned catsuit slipped during a dance routine and exposed her right breast.

Lopez quickly re-adjusted her costume with the help of one of her dancers and continued the show, according to E! Online.
