While performing at the Inaugural Ball, Usher almost exposed one of his.

The R&B singer had his very own Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction and tore his pants in the crotch while on stage at the ball on Monday night.

Snoop Lion quietly roared back at the Rastafarians who put him on blast -- by showing up to LAX with a Bob Marley shirt and a badass Rasta cap.

As TMZ previously reported, Bunny Wailer -- an original member of Bob Marley and the Wailers -- is threatening to sue Snoop ... claiming he's big phony who's posing as a Rastafarian to make a movie and sell records. A group called the Rastafari Millennium Council also blasted Snoop in a 7-page letter to the media.

While Snoop has not made any official comment on the matter, he's definitely making a fashion statement.

She may be a cougar, but it was all about the leopard print getup and ridiculously hot leather thigh high stiletto boots when Jennifer Lopez hit the streets in NYC on Tuesday.

Russell Simmons is firing back at his ex-business partner's legal threats ... telling TMZ he did NOT siphon off millions of dollars from his sneaker company -- and any accusations otherwise are the workings of a "disgruntled" employee.

TMZ broke the story ... former Run Athletics President Rasheed Young threatened to sue Russell and Reverend Run ... claiming the hip-hop moguls screwed him out of millions, by secretly funneling revenue from their company into a separate account.

Russell was out in L.A. Monday and tells TMZ ... any accusations of hiding profits are 100% "not true".

He continues, "[Rasheed] worked for me ... I fought to keep his job ... and I'm sorry he's disgruntled, but that's what happens. Anyone can say anything if a celebrity's name's attached to it ... there's nothing I can do about it ... it's false."

First Lady Michelle Obama rocked a bright red Jason Wu gown to the 2013 Inaugural Ball last night -- a stark contrast to the white Jason Wu number she wore to the ball back in 2009.

Michelle Obama's flat-top rocking nephew needs to get with the times -- so says one of the greatest flat-top rockers ever ... Kid from Kid 'n Play ... who tells us, the hairstyle is embarrassingly out of fashion and needs to die.

In case you weren't watching ... news cameras captured "First Nephew" Avery Robinson sporting a hi-top fade while watching his uncle Barack get sworn in for the second time.

But Kid -- real name Chris Reid -- tells us, it's a throwback 'do that never should've happened ... "I think that flat-tops should not come back ... It's an old style that now looks stupid to me."

Kid added, he doesn't want to "blatantly bash anyone" ... but said Avery needs "to get out of the time warp."

It was a battle of the coats, as First Lady Michelle Obama and Second Lady Jill Biden made their fashionable entrances to President Barack Obama's inauguration on Monday.

Question is ...

Russell Simmons' and Reverend Run's business partner has declared war on the hip hop moguls -- claiming they've hijacked MILLIONS in profits from their kids shoe company ... and now, he's gearing up to sue.

Lawyers for Rasheed Young -- President of Run Athletics -- sent Russell and Rev. Run a letter back in November, accusing the brothers of secretly funneling millions in revenue from their Pastry brand of footwear ... into a company that Rasheed isn't a part of.

Rasheed claims Pastry has raked in tens of millions in sales -- and so far, he hasn't seen a penny of it.

Sources close to Rasheed tell TMZ, Russell and Rev. Run have been stonewalling him ever since he sent the letter -- refusing to respond to Rasheed's demands -- so now he's cranking up the legal heat.

Rasheed's demanding the Simmons brothers fix the screwed-up business structure ASAP ... and pay him his share of the shoe profits. If they don't, Rasheed says he'll sue.

While a lot may have changed since the guys last had a hit, one thing has stayed the same ... Mac Daddy is still rockin' the backwards jeans.

'Cause inside out is wiggity wiggity wiggity wack.
