DURAN DURAN MUSIC VIDEO BANNED

Pop group DURAN DURAN have had the video for their new collaboration with JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE banned in the U.K. - because it is too explicit for television. The video for Falling Down - which Timberlake co-wrote and produced - makes fun of the celebrity culture in rehab. But the promo was criticised by TV censors for showing controversial scenes of semi-naked models in distress. As a result, the Rio hitmakers have been forced to release a toned down version instead. A source tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "It's a shame because the film is stunning. The band are disappointed that they video won't be seen because they believed it to be one of their finest yet. "There has been much coverage of young celebrities running off to rehab that the band wanted to poke fun at how ridiculous they are - but it's backfired on them."
