Bey admitted to singing over a pre-recorded track and defended the action, saying she chose to do it that was because she, quote,"did not have time to rehearse with the orchestra," and adding "It was a live television show... Due to the weather, due to the delay, due to no proper sound check... I did not feel comfortable singing live."

Then she asked the assembled press to stand, and belted out the anthem acapella  style. At the end, she asked if there were any questions, and had a good laugh about it.

As to whether she has any plans on lip synching or singing over tracks on Super Bowl Sunday ... Beyonce has given the world her word that she'll "absolutely" be singing live when she takes the stage.

Speaking of the Super Bowl halftime performance ... JANET JACKSON'S now infamous Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction" happened on this day in 2004. 90-million people, most of whom can't even remember what teams played in the game, have a vivid memory of seeing JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE expose Janet's right nip.

TAYLOR SWIFT - STILL CRYING OVER HARRY STYLES?: Word is TAYLOR SWIFT is still reeling over her split with boy-bander HARRY STYLES. Or so says a so-called source. “She can’t snap out of it," he or she tells Star magazine. "Taylor is putting on a brave face to the public, but she is a complete mess.”

The source adds that TINA FEY'S jokes at the Golden Globes -- about Taylor dating younger men -- didn't help. “It breaks her heart to be made fun of so publicly, especially because her fans are starting to join in on the backlash."

Steven showed up wearing a blonde wig, a snakeskin miniskirt, and fake breasts that honked when they were squeezed. He didn't actually sing, and he didn’t make it to Hollywood.

While we’re on the subject of the OKC auditions … This is Zoanette Johnson. She showed the country last night what a live national anthem really sounds like. This is a talent that can't be faked! And, yes, I’m being sarcastic …
