REST OF JUSTIN BIEBER POST-ARREST CLIPS TO BE RELEASED

MIAMI (AP) — The public will get to see Justin Bieber providing a urine sample for a drug test after his arrest last month. But viewers of the police tape taken of the singer won't get to see as much of the procedure as is shown on the tape. A judge in Miami-Dade County Judge has ruled that sensitive parts of the video must be blacked out when the clips are released to the news media. Judge William Altfield said two of the five unreleased video clips depict the singer's private parts — and they will be blocked out. Altfield agreed with lawyers for Bieber that airing the video would be an invasion of privacy that outweighs the public's right to know. Attorneys for the singer and for the news media outlets — including The Associated Press — say they are satisfied with the ruling.

IDOL VS. VOICE

NEW YORK (AP) — The Voice continues to rise — while the nation seems to be over its "Idol"-atry. NBC's "The Voice" returned last week to capture 16 million viewers on its February 24 debut. It drew 13 million the following night. Meanwhile, Fox's "Idol" continues to fade. Neither of the show's two episodes last week cracked Nielsen's Top 10 list — or reached the 11-million viewer mark.

''THE VOICE"

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Which coach on "The Voice" likes '80s rock the most? You probably wouldn't guess it's country star Blake Shelton. But he says check out his iPod playlist. Nashville rocker Megan Ruger asked that question of the coaches last night. Both Usher and Shelton wanted her. The '80s rock question convinced Megan that she should go with Team Blake. And Shelton says it's the most unusual question he's heard in his years as a coach on the show. Team Blake also picks up Audra McLaughlin, who got all four coaches to turn their chairs. Next week, the blind auditions continue.

NEW YORK (AP) — John Travolta says he has been beating himself up over his butchering of singer Idina Menzel's name during the Oscars telecast on Sunday.

DAVID CASSIDY DUI CASE REDUCED TO MISDEMEANOR

SCHODACK, N.Y. (AP) — 1970s-era teen star David Cassidy has caught a big break. His DUI charge in New York State has been reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor and returned to a town court for resolution. Cassidy was pulled over in the town of Schodack (SKOH'-dak) and charged with driving while intoxicated in August, when he was in the area for a horse racing meet. The charge was a felony because Cassidy has a 2011 DUI influence conviction in his home state of Florida. His attorney says Cassidy is now in alcohol rehab after yet another DWI arrest — this one in January in Los Angeles. Cassidy is 63 and starred in "The Partridge Family" and had a singing career in connection with the show about a traveling family band.
