Why Do People Still Find Cleavage Offensive in 2011?

Jaime Richards — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 11:16:28 PST

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.

Live From Pasadena, CBS Kicks Off Network Week at TCA

BuzzSugar — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 11:30:17 PDT

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

Laurence Fishburne Has His Eye on CSI

BuzzSugar — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 14:30:56 PDT

One of the big questions back at the TCA press tour was what CSI would look like without its leading man, William Petersen, who's leaving this season. Here's our first big clue: Laurence Fishburne is in talks to step in as the new male lead.

He'd be getting a pretty meaty role, too. As CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler described it, the new guy comes from outside the CSI unit and has a genetic profile comparable to that of a serial killer. He knows about the tendency, though he hasn't actually acted on any killer impulses to date.

Searching for the right actor for the role has apparently been a huge undertaking, with John Malkovich and Kurt Russell also named as top choices - but Malkovich turned down the job.

Landing an Oscar nominee and big name like Fishburne would seem like a serious score for CSI - but, if you're not already a viewer, would it draw you in? And, if you are a CSI fan, do you think Fishburne would mesh well with the current cast?

CBS Boss Talks Vampires, Swingers, and CSI Sans Petersen

BuzzSugar — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 12:30:58 PDT

Nina Tassler was the third network executive of the week to take the stage at the TCA press tour today, and she shed some light on the departure of Moonlight, the future of Swingtown, and what CSI will look like sans William Petersen. Some highlights:

To help fill the hole on CSI left by Petersen's departure later this season, Tassler said the producers plan to introduce a new character with "an interesting genetic profile" that is comparable to that found in many serial killers. His character is on something of a journey of self-discovery, she said. But he's not going to be a direct replacement for Petersen's character: "He is an outsider coming into the CSI unit," Tassler said, and he is not (at least immediately) the boss. They're still searching for an actor to play the role.
As for Moonlight, Tassler reminded reporters that she's not anti-vampire. "Everybody knows I love vampires," she said. "Vampires, witches, werewolves, warlocks - I love them all." But she said that while there was a lot of outcry over the show's cancellation, most of it was passion for star Alex O'Loughlin rather than the show as a whole. She said she'd love to find a place for O'Loughlin on another show in the future.
Tassler said CBS supports and believes in Swingtown, but she's "a little disappointed in the ratings." As of now, there's no decision made about whether to renew the show or not - though CBS is at least confident enough to have the cast attend tonight's all-star party.
