On the Net: www But in looking ahead, Parsons spoke in vaguely upbeat but cautious tones and tried not to fan false hopes Meanwhile, Parsons, who has been at the company since 1995, is trying to set limited goals " By doing so, Parsons â€â€? who was named president last May and chairman of the board earlier this month, a title he will formally assume this May â€â€? is gaining time, analysts said "It's hard to know how Ted will surface Parson's circumspection is far different then the grand visions once promised by Steve Case, the co-founder of America Online who is giving up the chairman's seat to Parsons, or Gerry Levin, the former head of Time Warner who retired last year In afternoon trading, the shares were selling at $12, down $1 "I don't think anyone expects him to pull a rabbit out of the hat in the next few quarters AOL Time Warner executives conceded what many investors have long felt on an individual level when the company announced a staggering $45 It's an absolute certainty he will surface," Wolzien said "The Grammy producers, the network, the labels, the managers and the artists, too, probably realize that some kind of extra crotch grab or cuss word would not be beneficial to their careers "Get them on the Playboy Channel," Grohl said Thursday at a pre-Grammy rehearsal party "I'm not here to judge her performance or what she's done " But Foo Fighters lead singer Dave Grohl said Jackson's breast-baring stunt was nothing more than self-promotion and "blatant exhibitionism " Jackson's halftime partner, Justin Timberlake â€â€? who tore off the piece of clothing that exposed her right breast â€â€? will be there, however Blender magazine Editor Craig Marks pointed out that the Grammy ceremony is a conservative affair under normal circumstances One bad apple is spoiling the bunch I stand behind her always com "I feel like what's going on with Janet is unfair But many expect that Jackson's absence will be felt more than her presence would have been, and that her stunt will overshadow the awards themselves " â€â€?â€â€?â€â€?

I think music and entertainment are in a great place right now "I'm a big fan of Janet's," rapper-producer Missy Elliott said at a news conference Thursday in Los Angeles, where she was promoting a joint tour with Knowles and Alicia Keys I think she's an incredible talent " The former Nirvana drummer believes the music industry has been harmed by the recent skin-revealing exploits of Jackson, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera com "Keep them out of my MTV grammy "I didn't want to be a part of something that's not treating people in the right light," Dupri said Now it's outrageous for the Grammys to punish Janet Jackson for performing that same role on someone else's stage Also avoiding the show will be Jackson's good friend, rapper and music producer Jermaine Dupri, who announced Friday he was resigning as president of the Recording Academy's Atlanta chapter " And what can we expect from Timberlake? "I think he would be smart to ignore it," Marks said " JC Chasez, Timberlake's 'N Sync bandmate, said the uproar over the Super Bowl exhibition will have repercussions long after the Grammys ) "All night it will remind Grammy viewers, who are an antiestablishment lot, that this is not really their party," said Tom O'Neil, author of "The Grammys" who runs the awards handicapping Web site Goldderby He already did it, it's enough "Now it turns into a censorship issue," said Chasez, who refused to sing the national anthem at Sunday's Pro Bowl after the National Football League yanked him from the halftime show because of his lyrics This just proves that the Grammys are really still the Grannies " Spokesmen for the awards ceremony and for the Recording Academy didn't return phone calls seeking comment Friday "When the Grammys are at their hippest and best, they reward artists for daring to be social rebels "I would imagine that this would be the most staid, surprise-free, least-lewd Grammys of all time," Marks said by phone Friday from Los Angeles He's up for five Grammys, including album of the year, and is scheduled to perform " Meanwhile, other performers continue to steadfastly support Jackson I want to see bands and music "I don't think he would be smart to apologize (Fellow R&B acts Beyonce Knowles and Pharrell Williams, and rap stars Jay-Z and OutKast, lead the nominations with six each |
