NBC's Madonna Special: The 'Fix Isn't In

After much deliberation, NBC has found a way to include the controversial "Live to Tell" set piece in its Nov. 22 Madonna concert special. While the network will only confirm that the number — in which Madonna famously croons while "hanging" from a crucifix — "has been revised" for the broadcast, a source close to the production tells TVGuide.com sheds light on how: Madge does perform much of the song on the cross, but crafty camera-angle selection will never actually capture the titillating image. Sounds like the director has a real cross to bear.

Somehow I must have fallen asleep for the last 30 years and woke up in a world of censorship. I guess the Ruskies won the Cold War. I'm going back to sleep now.

That is just ridiculous, but I can't complain too much because I still get to see her perform my favorite Madonna song.
