Gossip & Gists: "Please, Cover Up Your Boobs And Bum" - CBS Issues Advice To Grammy Awards Guests

CBS TV Network has issued a wardrobe advisory to the guests who will be attending the 55th Grammy Awards this Sunday, February 10, 2013.
Rihanna, Jennier Lopez, Pink have all shocked us once… or twice.

The TV network is advising the ‘scandalously clad celebrities’ and ‘flash bearers’ to cover up their bodies before making their way to the awards ceremony.

Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered’, the statement opens…
‘Thong type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare flesh 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’, the statement continues.

Somehow we feel CBS is directly talking to the usual suspects – Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna and Lady Gaga.
CBS is also advising for guests not to wear clothing that reveals its maker. The yearly awards show has had its fair share of ‘controversial and revealing’ red carpet instances in the past. Here are a few pictures E! 365 gathered from past editions of the Grammys…
