*Janet Jackson decided to cut a racy segment from her concert in Detroit Tuesday to comply with a Michigan state law that prohibits simulated sex acts in a public performing space.

*"Making the Band 4's" Donnie Klang is calling reports that he made racist comments on a radio show "completely fabricated" in a statement released Thursday by his reps.
