The likes of Alicia Keys and Carrie Underwood - banning them from wearing "problematic" outfits exposing "female breasts", "buttock crack" and "the genital region" at the ceremony, held at the Staples Centre in LA.


The email reportedly read: "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."

It added: "Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible 'puffy' bare skin exposure."

However, as the email clearly states right at the top, the note about what kind of wardrobe is appropriate for the telecast is from Pinkswinging from the rafters in a barely-there outfit that consisted of strip of white material over all the bits mentioned in the warning.

Portnow insisted that whatever artists choose to wear on Sunday night, there was nothing new or newsworthy in the warning. The only difference this year, in fact, is that someone chose to leak the memo.

He added: "It hasn't changed ... that's the way everybody has been operating for many years.
