LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -
MTV plans to delete a shot of Eminem mooning the audience at the 2004 Movie Awards when the show airs Thursday at 9 p.m.
Eminem, who performed at the Saturday night taping with his group D12, appeared onstage dressed in a long red wig and jeans in a parody of Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose.
He repeatedly groped and flashed a studded codpiece in front of the cameras and the thousands of people in the live audience. Toward the end of the performance, he pulled down his trousers and exposed his bare backside.
Eminem also dropped trou earlier this year during a performance in Germany.
Representatives for MTV immediately said on Saturday night that Eminem's act would be sanitized for broadcast by editing around the stunt.
