Dammit Janet: Janet Jackson got bleeped for saying "Jesus" on Late Night, the David Letterman show, when he wouldn't let up on his probing questions concerning her NFL halftime show "breastcapades." Thank god the sensitive listeners in the Letterman viewing audience weren't scandalized by the "J" word. At first, I thought that CBS had bleeped her for saying "F-off" to Dave, which would have been understandable, so it was a relief to see that morning newspapers were able to publish what she couldn't say on late night television.

NEW YORK (AP) - CBS finally got its shot at censoring Janet Jackson. But it was what she said - and not what she bared.

Jackson appeared on David Letterman's show Monday night, and the censors dropped her audio her for saying "Oh, Jesus" in apparent exasperation as Letterman asked her about her now-famous "wardrobe malfunction" during the Super Bowl halftime show.

Janet Jackson, raised a Jehovah's Witness, should have said "Jumpin' Jehosaphat." Christian Broadcasting System censors would probably have thought that real phat.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Janet was on the Letterman show to promote her new album Damita Jo, which is titled after her middle name.
