Next Thursday, in CSI's "A Kiss Before Frying" episode, Dita Von Teese will star in three roles: a French grandmother, a schoolteacher, and that same teacher's burlesque alter ego, Rita Von Squeeze. Heh on the name, but what's not so funny is the fact that the bigwigs at CBS apparently deemed the star's assets too provocative. Dita told TV Guide, "There was a lot of network talk about my 'offensive cleavage,' which I found interesting considering how much blood and gore there is. We had to take it down a notch."

Uh, did they not realize voluptuousness and sexiness are two of Dita's most well-known qualities? And how shocking is it that a burlesque star who was hired to play a burlesque dancer might possibly show a little skin? The topic brings to mind the Katy Perry/Sesame Street debacle of 2010, where the songstress's bosom was deemed a bit too daring for the longtime children's show.

However, Sesame Street is a show for kids, and it's understandable that in-your-face cleavage might be a tad inappropriate for the preschool set. However, CSI is an adult show that airs well past the kiddies' bedtimes. It's also a show with plenty of grown-up topics, and I think we can all handle a few low-cut corsets thrown into the mix.

Greetings from Pasadena! I'm down here for the Summer installment of the TCA press tour, which gives TV critics from around the country a chance to hobnob with television stars, writers, and creators. After some cable events last week, the network portion of the tour kicked off this morning with CBS. I'll be blogging and Twittering the highlights all week long, so stay tuned! Here's some of the news so far:

• With Guiding Light ending after 72 years of radio and TV episodes, CBS is bringing back another classic to take its place: the game show Let's Make a Deal. The show's most famous edition, hosted by Monty Hall, aired in the late '60s and early '70s. This new version will have Wayne Brady at the helm. Brady and Hall will be here later today to chat about the show, and I'll let you know if any audience members show up in crazy costumes to get their questions chosen. (My guess: probably not.)
• At the first session of the day, CBS's entertainment president, Nina Tassler, talked a bit about CSI — and pointed out that if you didn't like Laurence Fishburne's character's wardrobe, you're in luck, because his clothes are getting a bit of a makeover this season. And that's not all: His character is "more settled in his role, he's in a leadership capacity, he's more versed in the language of CSI," Tassler said. She also confirmed that Jorja Fox's Sara Sidle will be back for the first five episodes of the season.
• If you're a fan of NCIS, CBS wants to get you hooked on NCIS: Los Angeles right from the start. The first few episodes of the new show will feature some actors from the original crossing over, including Pauley Perrette and Rocky Carroll.

For the rest of the day, we'll be hearing more about some upcoming shows on CBS, including Jenna Elfman's Accidentally On Purpose and this Fall's Emmy awards, before heading to a party tonight with CBS, CW, and Showtime stars. To hear about some events I'm looking forward to for the rest of the week, just read more
