Hee Hee!

Dressed as flamboyant character "Bruno" in a pair of feathery white wings and his rear end mostly exposed, Sacha Baron Cohen, who flew into the theater on a wire, where he hung above the audience, crashed into an overhead obstacle and was lowered head-first into the lap of Eminem, his bare hindquarters in the rapper's face.

"Is the real Slim Shady about to stand up?" chirped "Bruno".

Yeah I bet Slim Shady's errr "Slim Shady" was standing up...

Eminem seemed visibly upset by the encounter, and members of his entourage roughly removed Baron Cohen as the rapper struggled to get out. But had the self-styled homophobic rapper been punked by Baron Cohen and MTV, or was he in on the elaborate stunt?

Free of the scene, Eminem stormed out with his entourage in tow — and cameras rolling — and hit the exits.

Baron Cohen's descent to the audience was included in rehearsals, but Eminem — who performed Sunday night — didn't take part in that piece of the run-through. As the rapper stormed off, it sounded as though he was wearing a microphone, and cameras were in position to record his fast exit, but he was not seen or heard from again.

"Don't touch me guys, I already have a boyfriend!"

Hahaha! Sacha Baron Cohen... brilliant, effing brilliant! =D

Bruno is my least favourite of Sacha Baron Cohen's 3 characters (Ali G, Borat, Bruno), but I hope Bruno the Movie turns out better than Borat the Movie. Borat's antics might be hilarious to those who find it a novelty, but for those of us, like ME, who have been following Borat on his 10 min segment on Ali G's HBO show for years, found his jokes are stale and too formulaic... plus too much sex jokes are used compared to his tv series, where he simply exposes people for their prejudices and embarasses them all in a very 'natural' way. Ah well...
