Kevin Smith's Zack and Miri Make a Porno may get slapped with an NC-17 rating by the MPAA ...

The Seth Rogen/Elizabeth Banks comedy about two friends making porn to make a quick buck may have a difficult time being found in multiplexes if it does get that rating ...

Seth Rogen: "It's like a romantic comedy. It's a romantic relationship movie—with a lot of porn and balls. My balls are not in it."

Smith is fighting the MPAA so that the film get get a consumer friendly R rating ...

Seth Rogen: "You can disembowel someone in a youth hostel in Romania, but you can't show people having sex. I think it's weird. This is not anything outside of what we've done before. The word 'porno' is in the title, and that kind of freaks people out."

Jane Fonda Drops C-Bomb on "Today"

Earlier today ... NBC's Today Show interviewed actress Jane Fonda and The Vagina Monologues creator Eve Ensler to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the feminist play ...

Fonda talks about her initial hesitance about performing in the play ...

Jane Fonda: "I hadn't seen the play. I live in Georgia OK. I was asked to do a monologue called 'Cunt,' and I said, 'I don't think so, I've got enough problems.'"

The women appeared unfazed by the word ... but Vieira did apologize for the utterance about ten minutes later ...

Meredith Vieira: "Jane Fonda inadvertently said a word from the play that you don't say on television. It was a slip and she apologizes, and so do we. We would do nothing to offend the audience, so please accept that apology."

NBC News edited the word from its West Coast broadcast of the Today Show ...

I guess NBC's censors were asleep at the switch ... which appears to be a trend on morning television ... Diane Keaton let the F-Bomb slip by the censors on ABC's Good Morning America last month ...

Here is a clip of the C-Bomb ... and Vieira's subsequent apology ...

PTC to CBS :: Kill "Dexter"

The Parents Television Council wants CBS to drop its plans to air the imported Showtime drama Dexter this February ...

Even though the critically-acclaimed series will receive massive edits (mainly language and some of its more gruesome scenes) in order to conform to the stricter standards of free-to-air broadcast networks ... The PTC would rather not see this series grace CBS' airwaves ...

Tim Winter (PTC President): "We are formally asking CBS to cancel its plan to air the first season of Dexter on its television network. This show is not suitable for airing on broadcast television; it should remain on a premium subscription cable network. The biggest problem with the series is something that no amount of editing can get around: the series compels viewers to empathize with a serial killer, to root for him to prevail, to hope he doesn't get discovered. Dexter introduces audiences to the depths of depravity and indifference as it chronicles the main character’s troubled quest for vigilante justice by celebrating graphic, premeditated murder."

Dexter is scheduled to premiere on CBS on Sunday, February 17 ...

Sawyer was in utter shock ... covering her mouth in amazement ...

Diane Sawyer: "My mother is going to work on your personality with soap in your mouth."

Keaton apologized for the curse word ... as the interview ended Sawyer jokingly said ... "This is Diane Keaton, who will be answering to the censors."

Here is the F-Bomb-infused clip from GMA ...
