Janet Rejects CBS Offer (duh, like we believe this Jackass)
FOX NEWS ^ | Sunday, February 08, 2004 | Roger Friedman

Janet Jackson has decided not to accept the CBS offer to appear on tonight's Grammy show. The network said it would allow her to present a tribute to Luther Vandross if Jackson apologized for her appearance on last Sunday's Super Bowl half-time show.

Jackson, after much thought, decided she'd said she was sorry enough already and declined to be on the show. Patti Labelle will appear in her place.

I am told, she was advised by her brother Michael Jackson "to stop apologizing already."

This time, even I agree with Jackson. What do people want from this woman? Blood?

Justin Timberlake however has decided to go for it. The ‘NSync singer will read some kind of apology to the nation so he can make a cameo on the Grammy show.

Star-studded Pre-grammy Dinner

A top CBS exec acknowledged to me last night at Clive Davis' spectacular pre-Grammy dinner and show that the whole apology compromise was because of CBS and not the Grammys.

"The Grammy people really wanted both of them on the show," he said.

Jackson and Timberlake were both no-shows at Davis' party at the Beverly Hills Hotel even though Jackson's boyfriend, Jermaine Dupri, and Timberlake's fellow boy band mate J.C. Chasez made the scene.

So did a dazzling array of stars from Sting and actor Jon Voight to infamous rocker Ike Turner and the beloved Johnny Mathis. Paris Hilton, trying to stick to her record of never saying anything that makes sense, told best-selling novelist Jackie Collins, "I don't read, but when I do read, I read you."

Collins was later seated next to fellow bestseller Danielle Steel and Robin Leach. Now, that was a table!

Good going. This will get back to the McD powers to be. They don't like bad publicity.

It would be nice if the slut would just go away.....

It's a joke when they refer to these movie and music award get togethers as "star studded"......Slut studded would be more accurate and literally the truth...

Semper Fi

How about just boycotting CBS completely?
Seems to me they seem to be the biggest prostitute in this whole thing.

I like Paris Hilton. She makes more sense than Al Franken or John Kerry.

McDonalds wrote back to me and said the fact that Justin said it was an accident and had apologized was enough and that their relationship would continue.
