VOICE-OVER: AP ShowBiz Minute.Billy Crystal's return as Oscars host helped boost audience figures for Sunday night's Academy Awards.It's estimated that 39.3 million people watched this year - that's 1.4 million more than tuned in for 2011, when James Franco and Anna Hathaway hosted.But the Oscars weren't the most-watched awards show on TV this month - the Grammys, on February 12th, pulled in an audience of 39.9 million.Malaysian officials have banned Erykah Badu's concert in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday, after she appeared in publicity photos with the Arabic word for Allah temporarily tattooed on her shoulders.A government official said that she had "offended the religious sensibilities of Muslims" by posing with the tattoos, while religious groups claimed she was an unsuitable role model for young people.Badu has already arrived in Malaysia, where she can remain as a tourist, but won't be allowed to perform.Actor James Spader won't be returning to "The Office".Spader, who plays oddball boss Robert California, joined the cast for last year's finale, but ended up staying for the season.A producer for the show said that the actor never intended to stay beyond this year.This is Lisa James with AP ShowBiz Minute.SHOTLIST:-+++ACADEMY AWARD FOOTAGE RESTRICTIONS+++: 1.
