More on Janet Jackson's nipple event

CMU reports:

Firstly Janet Jackson has responded to rumours TV executives were still pushing for her to be axed from this weekend's Grammys by getting in their first and pulling out of the show. The singer's publicist yesterday told reporters: "I can confirm she is not attending. I won't give any more details". As previously reported, Jackson had been due to present an award at the event, but bosses at CBS - who screen the awards ceremony - are still reeling from last weekend's Superbowl performance and had been hinting they would demand Grammy bosses axe her from the show. R&B star Patti LaBelle will replace her as a presenter.

What about little old Justin Timberlake? CBS bosses had originally hinted he too would be forced out of the Grammys show, where he is due to perform with the Black Eyed Peas. However Justin has got all serious about the whole Superbowl thing since his initial ambivalence on Monday - telling all that will listen at the Grammy rehearsals how he didn't know Janet would be bare breasted at the end of the routine, that he was incredibly embarrassed about the whole thing, that his family were really disappointed in the show, that it is all deeply deeply deeply deeply regrettable. Those comments, alongside confirmation from Jackson that the whole Superbowl thing was her idea, probably means Timberlake's performance at the Grammys is safe - presumably giving him free range to feel up Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas' arse, ala Kylie at the Brits.

Less good fortune for Justin's Nsync bandmate JC Chasez of course. As we reported yesterday, his half time performance at the NFL's Pro Bowl event this weekend has been axed following concerns it also might be too raunchy for American sports fans. Chasez also seems to have changed his tune this week - initially he seemed kinda gratious about being axed saying he was disappointed but understood why NFL had made the decision.

    Justin is such a wuss. If you're going to do something like that then just admit it and tell everyone who doesn't like it to fuck off.
