Fabulous Pamela Anderson’s sexy pole-dance to the song "The Bitch is Back" sung by Elton John for his NBC special Elton John: The Red Piano at Caesars Palace has been axed by the network brass. Pam appeared gyrating alongside a stripper pole on a giant video screen as he belted out his signature tune.

"We believed the content was not appropriate for 8 p.m.-7 central time and decided to pull the song from the special," NBC said in a statement Tuesday.

Curiously, the gay parts of the night, Elton John just being himself and Justin Timberlake appearing as a young Elton, will air just as they were seen during the live performance. Our take is that Elton and Pam were competing backstage for Justin, and that Elton gave her the axe (as it were) to ward her off. The bitch is back, indeed.
