Ballsy 'Breaking Bad'

She's a man, baby!

We're sensing a cable TV trend here -- even if you don't count "Nip/Tuck" -- with a recent episode of "The Closer" centering on a tranny murder suspect who has a whole room full of seasoned detectives thinking he's a she. One of those horndog cops even goes in for a big wet kiss during "interrogation," only later finding out the truth about the cross-dresser/"illusionist."

Sniggers all around.

And here's another good example. Check out the Webisode here, one of five that's just launched to promote the upcoming season two of critical darling, "Breaking Bad." It stars Emmy winner Bryan Cranston and Dean Norris in a heart-to-heart that just happens to involve a club called the Ivory Swallow and an ill-advised wedding-day hook-up. Oops!

Watch the other clips here, and catch this amazingly ballsy (sure, pun intended) series on AMC starting March 8.
