Pamela Anderson Furious Over Pole Dance Edit  12/21/05

Sexy actress Pamela Anderson has slammed bosses of US TV network NBC for editing her pole dance out of a broadcast of Sir Elton John's Las Vegas stage extravaganza.

The Caesars Palace show aired on 12 December (05) without the segment in which John sang The Bitch is Back while an oversized screen behind him displayed a scantily clad Anderson.

She says, "This really bothers me. Elton cut me out. I was in the previews.

If you cover your nipples then you're clothed."

The actress moves suggestively in the video, which was included in preview copies sent out to critics.

After an assessment by its standards and practices department the network decided the material didn't mesh with the 8pm time slot."
