The network sent out a memo setting boundaries on female fashion choices

Breasts, buttocks banned by CBS from Grammys

CBS is asking stars not to bare too much skin at the Grammy Awards on Sunday.

The network requests that “buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered” for the televised award show. The memo sent out Wednesday also warned against “see-through clothing,” exposure of “the genital region” and said that “thong type costumes are problematic.”

The memo was quite specific about certain areas which have raised conflict with the likes of Jennifer López: “Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic.”

Representatives for CBS and the Recording Academy declined to comment. Deadline Hollywood first reported the memo.

CBS broadcast the infamous 2004 Super Bowl halftime show that included Janet Jackson’s “wardrobe malfunction.” The network was initially fined by the Federal Communications Commission, though the fine was later overturned.

The 55th annual Grammy Awards will be held Sunday night at Los Angles’ Staples Center, and will be broadcast live in Argentina.
