"Santa Claus can say 'naughty' but I can't," Chasez marveled on the phone."
The NFL, you'll recall, has suddenly gone all modest and blushy and canceled Chasez's halftime performance at this weekend's Pro Bowl in Honolulu because it was shocked at the song and the choreography he had in mind.
Chasez, the bigger guy, says it's okay he hasn't heard from Timberlake, because, he told The TV Column, he knows that Timberlake is "dealing with his own demons."
But Chasez is pretty steamed at the NFL. He says the song choice, "Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)," was entirely the NFL's. Originally he was contracted to sing "Some Girls (Dance With Women)," the first single from his new solo album.
But, Chasez says, he understood how jittery the NFL was and agreed to the change. Next thing he knows, the NFL tells him it's uncomfortable with two words in "Blowin' Me Up." He says he agreed to change "naughty" and "horny" for the halftime performance.
"Santa Claus can say 'naughty' but I can't," Chasez marveled on the phone.
The NFL said Wednesday that Chasez could still sing the national anthem at the game.
No thanks, says Chasez. "They don't think I have the right kind of image for the NFL but they think I could be the spokesperson for the entire nation by singing the national anthem? I find that hypocritical," he said.
Asked whether he thought CBS should allow Jackson and Timberlake to perform at the Grammys, Chasez responded, "I think everybody [involved] should be reprimanded, but I don't know to what extent.
"One of the things I don't want to see is CBS put a stranglehold on the entire industry by banning videos that were okay on MTV a week ago. . . . To treat people like they're stupid and censor things from them is wrong."
