Scott Aukerman Confirms Bruno and Eminem Stunt was Staged

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 19:02:51 +0000

Scott Aukerman, a writer who helped put together the Sunday MTV Movie Awards, confirmed that Sacha Baron Cohen, in character as Bruno, putting his butt into the face of Eminem was all staged and rehearsed before the show:

"Yes, the Eminem-Bruno incident was staged. They rehearsed it at dress rehearsal and yes, it went as far as it did on the live show."

We know now Eminem can act well enough to fool some people.

Paris Hilton was asked first to do the stunt with Bruno, but she declined. It wasn’t that she was opposed to having a sack on her chin, it’s that she didn’t want to see something she can’t have.

Bruno Lands on the Face of Eminem at MTV Awards

At the MTV Awards Sacha Baron Cohen (37), in character as Bruno, landed his buttocks directly on face of Eminem (36) to his disgust and surprise. Eminem responded with:

"Are you serious? Are you f***ing serious?"

It took a minute for Eminem to get some help. Celebrities in the audience were laughing their butts off. Eminem looked very unhappy as he stormed out.

Some are speculating that Eminem was in on the joke, because the cameras seemed to be perfectly positioned from every angle to catch the joke, but Eminem looked upset to us. Eminem should really learn to take a joke better, and learn to better handle being a public spectacle, afterall all his best songs, and music videos, make fun of other people at their expense, and make him a lot of money. The audience seemed to really appreciate seeing Eminem get a taste of his own bitter medicine.

Cohen was the toast of the town by most, but one girl who walked by him at the Chateau Marmont hotel after the MTV Awards said to Cohen:

"You’re disgusting."

So true, but to those who have been the butt of Eminem’s jokes, it was a delight to see Eminem get a butt in his face for once. Check the video with all the action below.

Sacha Baron Cohen took the real step of trying to making himself look hairless like he hear gays like to do. Cohen then underwent a procedure for his character Bruno who is a gay Austrian fashion reporter. A source said:

“Sacha is committed to as much realism as he can muster in his films.”

“He’d heard that all-over hairlessness is a popular trend in the gay community, so he thought he’d bleach all his hair so it looked invisible.”

“But it quickly turned into a disaster.”

“Shortly after having the procedure done he felt a burning sensation and it grew steadily worse.”

“He had a bad allergic reaction to hydrogen peroxide, which is a strong bleaching agent.”

“It was so severe around a certain part of his anatomy that he couldn’t sit down for three days.”

“He had to make an emergency appointment with the doctors, who gave him some medication to counter the irritation.”

“Crew members found the whole incident hilarious and it slowed down filming for a bit, but Sacha soon got over the discomfort.”

“He has suffered no long-lasting ill effects.”

I wonder if Sacha bleached his genitals too. The burning must have been really uncomfortable.

Paula Abdul Fooled by Bruno

Sacha Baron Cohen, who plays a gay Austrian reporter in Bruno, was able to fool easily confused Paula Abdul into doing an interview, and the interview is said to appear in the Bruno movie. A source said:

"Paula was totally fooled. She bought into his character and to this day isn’t aware she was fooled."

Neither Paula’s rep, nor Universal who is releasing Bruno on July 10, would comment on the interview.

The Paula interview might be the funniest part of the movie. She might even sue if she looks out of it.

A handful of critics that saw 20 minutes of The Bruno Movie all gave the movie positive reviews.

Although this isn’t the kind of movie I’d see in a theater, I’ll definitely see it when it comes out on DVD.

Sacha Baron Cohen, who is filming Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Male, managed to get into Milan Fashion Week with fake passes for himself, and his film crew. On Thursday Sacha, in character as Bruno, unexpectedly, and without authorization, walked the runway, and passed other models for walking the runway during the Agatha Ruiz de la Prada fashion show.

Sacha, as Bruno, was asked to leave, but he refused, so police were called.

On Friday Sacha did it again, only this time he walked into dressing rooms during the show causing the models to yell for help. Security guards escorted him away again.

Is that funny?

Sacha Baron Cohen Stages Gay Cage Fights

Sacha Baron Cohen, playing his new gay character Bruno for his new movie, lured thousands of people in Arkansas to caged fighting with an ad that was titled Blue Collar Brawlin, and offered $1 beer, hot chicks, and hardcore fights. The fights were staged at both Texarkana and Fort Smith on consecutive days.

The cage fighters didn’t exactly fight as expected. One of the fighters called himself Straight Dave who wore camouflage. Both opponents ripped each other’s clothes off, then once they were in their underwear, they began to kiss down their opponent’s chest.

The audience at Fort Smith got so upset they threw chairs and beer at the cage fighters, according to a cop who was there for security.

Cohen’s character Bruno is a gay Austrian journalist who interviews subjects about fashion and entertainment.
