The CBS network reportedly has retracted an invitation for pop singer Janet Jackson to appear on the Grammy Awards this Sunday.
Miss Jackson apologized again yesterday for her performance during the Super Bowl halftime show, accepting blame for the incident in which one of her breasts was briefly exposed to millions of viewers.
"I am really sorry if I offended anyone. That was truly not my intention," Miss Jackson said in a videotaped statement released overnight.
Apparently, sorry wasn't good enough for the Super Bowl broadcaster.
A Grammy spokesman and Miss Jackson's publicist confirmed that Miss Jackson will not be introducing a planned Grammy tribute to soul legend Luther Vandross, according to reports last night by the syndicated television shows "Access Hollywood" and "Entertainment Tonight."
Representatives for CBS and the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, which presents the Grammys, declined to comment.
Miss Jackson was conspicuously absent from a press release issued earlier in the day by Grammy organizers listing the show's lineup of celebrity hosts, presenters and performers. But pop idol Justin Timberlake, who exposed Miss Jackson's right breast when he ripped off a bodice cup at the end of their steamy halftime duet, remained on the Grammys' entertainment roster.
Miss Jackson's spokesman said a red-lace underlayer was supposed to have remained intact when Mr. Timberlake removed the bodice cup.
"My decision to change the Super Bowl performance was actually made after the final rehearsal. MTV, CBS, the NFL had no knowledge of this whatsoever, and unfortunately, the whole thing went wrong in the end," Miss jackson said in last night's video.
