JT Skipped Grammys ... and Took the Ratings With Him?

Justin Timberlake hit the links with his mom in Thousand Oaks, California, yesterday. He was just a stone's throw away from LA, but you wouldn't have known that from his conspicuous skipping out on all things Grammy Awards over the weekend. After his performances and "My Grammy Moment" stuff at last year's show, JT boldly claimed that the Grammys used him for higher ratings, and I guess his grudge holds. Uh oh, though, this year's show was the third least watched of all time — I wonder how long before Justin blames that on his absence?
