FOO FIGHTERS - CROSS-DRESSING FOO FIGHTERS VIDEO 'TOO RISQUE'

LATEST: The ban slapped on the FOO FIGHTERS' new video for their song LOW by MTV has been explained - its cross-dressing scenes have been deemed too risque.

The video features actor JACK BLACK and lead singer DAVE GROHL prancing around in women's clothes, according to the website LAUNCH.COM. In one scene, Black reportedly dons a curly black wig, pink bikini top and shorts, while Grohl is seen wearing a blonde wig and putting on lipstick.

Launch reports, "The video is not being played by MTV because of two controversial scenes: one depicting the two dressed in drag spanking each other, and one in which Grohl and Black's legs are horizontal on the floor, intermingling with each other, implying a sex scene."

It is rare for MTV to ban a video outright. Usually it will tell performers what it objects to in a video so that it can be re-edited, as was recently done with CHRISTINA AGUILERA's upcoming video for her song CAN'T KEEP US DOWN.

Before finding out that MTV had refused to air their video, the Foo Fighters had already announced their plans to release a DVD containing the footage of Low.
