CBS Set Wardrobe Rules for Grammy Night

CBS Standard and Practice group sent emails to everyone scheduled to attend Sunday's Grammy Awards Show requesting that anyone set to appear on camera adhere to a set of wardrobe guidelines. The network is trying to avoid any unplanned flashes of nudity or exposed flesh that might offend viewers.

Deadline.com acquired a copy of the note which states, "Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered. Thong type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic. Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples. Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible "puffy" bare skin exposure."

The note also says that audience members, presenters, and performers should avoid clothing with branding, foreign language that would need to be cleared ahead of time, as well as the names of any organized causes that may be visibly written on clothing or pins.

CBS was the network that aired the infamous Super Bowl halftime show where Janet Jackson's breast was exposed on national television.
