TV star accidentally flashed Jude Law in backstage mishap
Alyssa Farah Griffin confessed she once accidentally flashed two-time Academy Award nominee Jude Law backstage during a discussion on The View about 'embarrassing personal malfunctions.' 'This isn't quite the same, but I accidentally flashed my underwear to Jude Law backstage once,' she recalled as the show's hosts chatted about LeAnn Rimes' teeth falling out during a recent performance. 'My mic pack fell down my dress so at commercial I run back [stage]' for help from an audio tech, she divulged during Thursday's episode of the ABC talk show. 'I flashed up my skirt so she could help me move it, and Jude Law's just standing there,' she continued. 'And then in my embarrassment — he just says nothing — I go, 'I'm sorry, sir!' Like, I made it worse by calling him sir! And then I maybe curtsied! It was brutal.' Griffin's co-hosts Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines and Ana Navarro giggled hysterically and gasped over the jaw-dropping confession. It's unclear exactly when the mishap took place, though Law did make an appearance on the popular ABC talk show back in November. Meanwhile, Haines shared footage of a cringe-worthy on-camera moment during a 2013 appearance on Good Morning America. In the clip, Haines attempted a faux-faint into the arms of a man dressed as Spider-Man — but instead brushed past his arm and fell to the floor. 'I had a moment once on-air,' Haines recalled, adding that there had been 'rehearsals' before the shocking blunder. 'I was with Spider-Man, and [producers] said, 'Oh, you should do something damsel in distress-y,' she continued. 'And so we rehearse, rehearse, rehearse,' Haines continued. 'We went live, and it just didn't go as planned.' She added that tragically — even after three successful attempts — 'It was only the time cameras were watching that he missed me.' Despite the dramatic blunders, Behar pointed out earlier in the episode that such moments aren't unheard of. 'How many of you have ever experienced an embarrassing personal malfunction?' Behar asked the audience, encouraging them to 'clap' if they had. 'The whole audience?' she marvelled. 'Wow, it must be very common.'

Face-blindness is real: sometimes I can't recognise my mother
I was in line at Starbucks the other day when I decided to give my husband, Steve, a medical update. 'I made an appointment for my toenail fungus,' I said. The man standing next to me recoiled in horror. Why? Well, as it turns out, he was not Steve. He was just a tall, bald stranger with a Steve-esque posture. 'You're not my husband!' I said, as if he'd been trying to trick me. Then I beat a hasty retreat to the street. I make mistakes like this a lot, and until recently I thought I was a natural-born Mr Bean, fated to a life of excruciatingly embarrassing, occasionally hilarious mishaps. But after enrolling in a study on a whim, I recently discovered a less
