JC Chasez Rips NFL New One, Is Replaced by Hula Girls.

Context is all.

I really, really, really hope that JC punches Justin repeatedly in the nuts.

...on live TV during halftime of a sporting event, causing one nut to flop out and scandalize America.

Wow, that was the most unexpected HUAC reference. The time has come to say no to these ludicrous playahunts.

back up! what's this about?

RUIN my dream.

After football's overexposed halftime show last weekend, the NBA is reviewing entertainment plans for its All-Star Weekend this month with an eye toward a less risque, more socially responsible performance. Among other steps, the NBA expressed concern about pop singer Beyonce Knowles's desire to perform her song "Naughty Girl," at the NBA All-Star Game's halftime show.

This week, NBA officials telephoned representatives of the Irish rock star Bono -- who has performed at NBA events in the past -- to inquire whether he might be able to perform an AIDS-awareness song called "American Prayer" with Ms. Knowles at the NBA game, one person involved in the matter said. That song was performed by Ms. Knowles, Bono and others at an AIDS benefit concert in Cape Town, South Africa, in November. The league was told Bono's band, U2, is in Dublin recording a new album and unavailable.

Sports organizations, TV networks and other purveyors of live events are running for cover after the Super Bowl incident, hoping to contain the storm of criticism it ignited, which shows signs of being turned on all of television.

People familiar with the NBA matter said Ms. Knowles, who is headlining halftime entertainment at the Feb. 15 game in Los Angeles, wanted to use "Naughty Girl" -- a reworking of Donna Summer's "Love to Love You Baby" -- as the second song in her performance. But the NBA, whose game will be shown on the TNT cable channel, raised concerns about the song's lyrics. "Naughty Girl" is the next planned single from Ms. Knowles's hit album "Dangerously in Love." The lyrics include lines such as "I'm feelin' kind of n-a-s-t-y/I might just take you home with me" and "I know you want my body/Tonight I'll be your naughty girl."

An NBA spokesman, Mike Bass, said the league didn't tell Ms. Knowles she couldn't perform "Naughty Girl." "We're still 10 days away," he said. "It's still a work in progress. We've had many conversations about what the content of the halftime show will be and they are ongoing."

"The Harrisburg Bowling League has expressed worry that Dave Smith And The Hot Wax Barflies will play 'Louie, Louie' during the 5th frame beer break..."

"It means we won."
