Jeff Zucker's cuts aren't only affecting a gob of 700 NBC employees; they've reached Madonna. After what's being called "weeks of negotiations," the Peacock and Madge have agreed to cut her controversial crucifixion scene from her Nov. 22 concert telecast. Hoping not to offend advertisers and Mark Foley sympathizers, NBC now says the TV version has been "revised." Which means no mirror-plated cross to hang from, no Jesus crown of leaves to wear — and one more Halloween idea the gays will flock to.
