Lil' Kim nearly had a big wardrobe malfunction on 'Dancing With the Stars' last night.
She had some trouble with her top at the end of her energetic jive with partner Derek Hough, and would have flashed both the studio and live broadcast audience had it not been for some pasties and host Tom Bergeron.
With her top noticeably getting lower after her performance, as she stood in front of judges, Bergeron provided cover while the rapper adjusted.
He also provided a distraction to give her a moment to pull up her top right after the performance as she and Hough first approached the judges table by standing in front of the two.
The moment was edited out by the time the show was rebroadcast on the West Coast. Lil' Kim and Hough posted a night's best 28 out of a possible 30 for their dance.
"I don't know why this happens a lot of the time, but the girls were tryin' to come out," Kim told KABC-TV after the show, when asked about the malfunction.
