[Costello:] Okay, that is the always impeccably well dressed Taylor Swift except for not in that video. Swift will be performing at this year's Grammy awards Sunday night on CBS, and that full-length pajama outfit would probably get her bonus points from the censors, because CBS is cracking down on showing too much skin. You remember J Lo's infamous Versace dress from 2000? That would be a no-go this year. So, what can and can't celebs wear at Sunday night's show? A.J. Hammer is here to explain the rules.
[A.j. Hammer, Cnn Entertainment Correspondent:] It's always fun, Carol, when people at a network try to tell artists what they can and can't wear but CBS reportedly sent out this memo and everybody's going to be showing up Sunday night on the Grammys. The basic message is cover up. Some of the particulars: buttocks and breasts should be adequately covered. Thong-type costumes are problematic. Bare sides, area under breasts what the kids call side- boob also problematic, and people should generally avoid sheer or see-through clothing. If you're wondering why you have to write this memo to begin with, well you could look back at infamous outfits like that J Lo dress from Versace years ago. Lil'Kim really stretched the boundaries with one of her outfits and look at Lady Gaga, this is from the 2010 Grammys. she came pretty close to crossing the line. Although,I looked through the standards memo and it doesn't specifically mention wearing meat as a violation. But you can understand why CBS might feel the need to have their standards people write a memo like this. Whether it actually accomplishes what it sets out to now is what we'll be tuning in to see. Do we have the Carrie Underwood dress? Because this is something that I think they would actually find acceptable, Carrie Underwood appearing with a plunging backline but from the front everything completely covered up.
[Costello:] Oh, come on.
[Hammer:] I think, actually think I think, Carol, this is going to cause people to want to push the boundaries more if they haven't figured out what they're wearing yet.
[Costello:] I'm just trying to figure out if someone violates the rules, what will CBS do? Will they put little black lines over the offensive area on live television?
[Hammer:] I don't think so. I think they're really just trying to set a standard perhaps raise the bar or in their minds raise the bar for what we've seen in the past but again, this is music's biggest night. It is not the Oscars. This is a chance to be as fashion forward as humanly possible for a lot of these artists.
[Costello:] All right. A.J. Hammer, thanks so much.
[Hammer:] You got it.
[Costello:] So you thought you'd get a break from political attack ads after the election. The political attack ads are back and this time they're targeting Ashley Judd.
[Unidentified Female:] Radical.
[Unidentified Male:] Someone from out of state who understands us hillbillies.
[Ashley Judd, Actor:] I don't know a lot of hillbillies who golf, hillbilly, hillbillies.
[Costello:] But Ashley Judd hasn't even said if she's running for Senate yet.
