In an interview with RapRadar.com on Wednesday, hip-hop impressario Eminem confirmed what many fans have suspected since Sunday night’s 2009 MTV Movie Awards — he was totally in on the scene-stealing stunt that left a bareback Sacha Baron Cohen half-naked in his lap.
RR: Can you clear up the Bruno stunt at the MTV Awards? Was it staged or planned?
Eminem: Sacha called me when we were in Europe and he had an idea to do something outrageous at the Movie Awards. I’m a big fan of his work so I agreed to get involved with the gag.
Was it executed the way you agreed to, and if not, do you hold MTV or Sacha responsible and will you take any kind of action?
I’m thrilled that we pulled this off better than we rehearsed it. It had so many people going “nuts” so to speak. Everyone was blowing me up about it.
After you left the ceremony, where did you go?
After the ceremony I went back to my hotel and laughed uncontrollably for about 3 hours. Especially after I saw it on air.
Sacha Baron Cohen and Eminem scripted and rehearsed the butt-baring prank heard around the world at Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards that nearly left the rapper’s face buried in the Bruno star’s crotch.
Audience members and TV viewers alike were left stunned when Baron Cohen, in character as the gay fashionista dressed as a giant dove, fell from the roof of the Gibson Ampitheater, forming a “69″ in
Eminem’s lap.
The “We Made You” star promptly stormed out of the ceremony.
Writing on his blog, Scott Aukerman confessed: “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….”
The World’s Sexiest Woman has issued an apology for her “dirty hair-look” at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards in Los Angeles last weekend.
Megan Fox — who was dubbed one of the world’s most beautiful people by FHM Magazine last month — made headlines for all the wrong reasons when she appeared on the red carpet with thick gel slicking down her famous brunette mane. The Transformers star topped off her look with a strapless black and gold cocktail dress and strappy stilettos.
The 23-year-old later posted an apology at her Twitter account.
“Sorry if you didn’t like my hair. Opinions are opinions,” she wrote.
