Toni Braxton has gamely offered herself up to be the butt of her own joke.

Proving that she's got a wonderfully healthy sense of humor, the singer poked fun at her recent onstage wardrobe malfunction after she inadvertently mooned an entire arena of agog fans during a concert in New Brunswick, N.J.

Turns out, it all started with a rather breezy sensation.

"I was dancing doing the one-two and I kind of thought, 'Are my [breasts] exposed? I am feeling air,'" Braxton tells Yahoo!'s omg blog.

"I remember that distinctly so that's why I held the top of the dress, but then I realized the whole dress was coming apart," she added. "The whole dress just fell apart on stage!"

Indeed, in footage posted online (warning: NSFW!), the 45-year-old songbird can be seen slinking across stage in a skimpy blue sequined dress. As she shimmies along, the back of her dress literally starts to fall off, exposing her derrière to the audience.

Unfortunately, the songbird remained unaware of the sartorial mishap for quite a while, finally pulling up the wayward strip of fabric when she realized she had been mooning the crowd all along.

Thankfully, she wasn't technically naked. "I had a bodysuit on but it was very skimpy," she explained, adding: "I can't deny I was uncomfortable, but I made it work and the audience kind of laughed and it turned into a burlesque show. I should have charged more for the tickets. Who knew?"

In fact, Braxton is thankful she didn't bust out of the frock altogether.

"I just thought how lucky I was that the whole thing didn't come apart!" she said. "We laughed about it and we made it work, but that's all you can do. Breathe through it all."

Yep, Toni: Time to breathe again.

Will.i.am unsure about Voice return

By Chi Chi Izundu
Newsbeat entertainment reporter Will.i.am has refused to confirm whether he is returning as a coach for series three of The Voice.

The 38-year-old star made the comments while hosting a party as guest editor of technology magazine Wired.

He was speaking to Newsbeat days before fellow The Voice coach Danny O'Donnoghue announced he was stepping down from the show.

The singer said he wanted to concentrate on the future career of his band The Script.

Earlier this month, singer Jessie J, also announced she would no longer be taking part in the show.

But when asked whether he would take part in series three of The Voice after giving away his salary for the show to the Prince's Trust, Will replied:

"No. What that means is I paid to do The Voice that year. That means the hotels and the travel and the food, I paid to be on TV, because the money I would have earned went to kids in the Prince's Trust to learn science, technology and mathematics. That's what that means.

So Newsbeat tried again. Would he consider doing a third series of The Voice?

"I did it the second year and it was a great experience."

His answer after the third question focused on the magazine.

The BBC says it is still in talks with him and Sir Tom Jones about their futures on the show.

Will.i.am also discussed going back to university in September to study his ventures with his I.Am.Angel Foundation which aims to help young people get into education debt free.

He says he wants more entrepreneurs and wants to "give kids the tools of tomorrow to transform their current state of mind to easily accept tasks or positions that they never otherwise would have took seriously or thought they can do."
