WHAT YOU WILL SEE ON THE BROADCAST.Byline: Valerie Kuklenski Staff Writer IS IT POSSIBLE?

For one thing, CBS has worked out a way to delay the live telecast and make quick edits of objectionable images, as it has done for years with offensive language. From an edgy entertainer's view, what's the point of doing something outrageous if nobody at home sees it? Here's a little of what we know about tonight's telecast, which starts at 8 p.m. on Channel 2: Most hosts The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences The National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, Inc. is known variously as The Recording Academy or NARAS.

The roster excludes Janet Jackson, who was expected to take part in a tribute to r&b great Luther Vandross. Whether she bowed out, was uninvited or never was invited in the first place depends on whom you ask. Seems like only 'Yesterday' CBS, the network that first brought four mop-topped lads from Liverpool into American living rooms, honors the 40th anniversary of the Beatles' U.S. debut on ``The Ed Sullivan Show'' with renditions of their early tunes by Sting, Dave Matthews, Vince Gill and Pharrell Williams. Look for lots of shrieking and weeping in the audience - among women 55 and over. Love to Luther Vandross, recovering from a severe stroke he suffered last April, had been looking forward to attending this year's Grammys ceremony, where he is up for five awards, including best r&b album for ``Dance With My Father.'' But doctors advised him against it. Celine Dion, Alicia Keys and Richard Marx will take part in a tribute performance. Justin not busted While Jackson is sidelined on Grammy night in the wake of Nipplegate, the show will go on for her cohort in halftime crime. Timberlake is set to perform and is up for five Grammys, including Album of the Year for ``Justified'' and Record of the Year for ``Where Is the Love'' with the Black Eyed Peas This article is about the American hip hop group.

Granted, it was easier to replace Jackson in her presenter role than it is to arrange a last-minute substitute act for Timberlake and to prevent him from delivering as many as five acceptance speeches.

Hard to believe now, but 15 years ago the Grammy Awards were a formal affair for men as well as women. In 1990 the talked-about trend was studs instead of bow ties on the tux shirts. Now the studs are anywhere but starched shirt fronts, and CBS executives are hoping the artists keep most of them out of sight. To get a look at what they are wearing, Channel 2 has a preshow at 6:30 p.m. Or you can jump the gun with Joan and Melissa Rivers on the red carpet at 6 p.m. on E!
