A woman on the subway was reading the NY Post and I saw something about a Justin/Janet Grammy snub. I was going to ask if anyone knew what that was about but
timberho was ahead of the game and has the scoop from Fox News:
From Fox news who linked to the NYPost:
Cbs (search) is moving to bounce Janet Jackson (search) and Justin Timberlake (search) from next Sunday's Grammy Awards amid the national uproar following their X-rated, prime-time Super Bowl (search) stunt.
Sources told The Post the network will demand the two stars be tossed from 46th Annual Grammy Awards if CBS's probe shows the duo schemed in advance to expose Jackson's pierced breast during the halftime spectacle.
It's the NY Post so, until CBS makes a statement, I'll hang tight but this entire thing is spiraling out of control. I would really hate to see Justin's Grammy experience diminshed because of it.
Elsewhere...morning conference from 9:30 - noon and then interviews at 12:30, 2pm, 2:30pm, 3:30pm, 4:15pm, and 6pm. Long day ahead. Thank goodness I've got my grapes.
EDIT: I'm disappointed at the possibility that this is true but I'm really not surprised to hear it. I think banning Justin and/or Janet from performing at the Grammys is a bit much but, with the uproar over the incident, I understand why CBS would choose to take an action like this. Everyone wants to cover their ass. What better statement to make than banning the two of them from performing? Such bad timing. I really want Sunday to be Justin's day. I'd hate to see him mired down in this.
