LA, Feb 04: Singer Janet Jackson and pop icon Justin Timberlake will appear on Sunday's Grammy Awards as planned despite the uproar over their bumping and grinding Super Bowl duet that left Jackson's breast exposed, the host of the Grammys said on Tuesday. In a show of caution, however, CBS said it would air the Grammys with a longer tape-delay so that network censors could edit any crude language or behavior from the telecast. The network said the length of the delay, which will let it delete audio and video, has yet to be determined.

"Janet is still scheduled to be a presenter and Justin is still scheduled to be a performer," said Ron Roecker, a spokesman for the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, which will present the 46th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. The awards will be broadcast on CBS, which faces an inquiry by regulators over whether its broadcast of Sunday's controversial Super Bowl half-time show and the sexualized rendition of Timberlake's tune "Rock Your Body" violated indecency standards.
