'NBC halts Britney's
crucifixion mockery'

  WorldNetDaily breaks the story:

Reacting to pressure from Christian groups, NBC canceled an episode of "Will & Grace" that featured Britney Spears as a conservative who hosts a cooking segment called "Cruci-fixin's" on a Christian TV network.

[...]

The American Family Association said NBC canceled the segment after pressure from its affiliates and AFA.

But the network said its own description of the segment was a mistake.

In a memo to affiliates, NBC said "the information was mistakenly included in a press release describing an upcoming episode of 'Will and Grace' which, in fact, has yet to be written. The reference to 'Cruci-fixins' will not be in the show and the story line will not contain a Christian characterization at all."

So, I guess we will have to get our blasphemous recipes somewhere else.
