Alright...my bad. Is it me, or does it seem to not have any pub surrounding it? Maybe I have just been under a rock.

You must be under a rock, it's his first album in like 4 or 5 years, it was pretty big news in the music world.

I really don't think Em was in on it... the entire thing was staged (they practiced it the three days before the event) and they knew the seating chart, but the only guy who didn't know what was going down was Em.

Eminem/Bruno stunt at MTV Movie Awards was staged, sources say | Showbiz News and Scoop | Studio and Network Dish | EW.com

So that's that. And yeah, Eminem's album just came out and is a major disappointment.

Eh, I'm still not convinced... it's either spin control by either MTV or Em's camp (blowback from reaction). The dude's built a reputation in a genre of music that isn't exactly gay-friendly and it would really surprise me if he consented to this particular stunt to push his album. I don't think he's so irrelevant that he'd need to risk a lasting image of some dude's junk all in his face (in a psuedo-69 position) to sell records. Everyone was in on it, except for Em. False leaks to the Hollywood press are often used for damage control and this doesn't add up.

Here's another link: EMINEM AND SACHA BARON COHEN INCIDENT AT MTV MOVIE AWARDS MAY HAVE BEEN FAKED - New York Post

It was a total fake. Why would Eminem have a live mic on him throughout the incident if it wasn't staged? Also, you mentioned some of Eminem's anti-gay disposition... Is the character "Bruno" pro-homosexuality? I actually think Bruno is probably offensive to the gay community. He's way over the top with the character and works off of a lot of stereotypes. So if anything, Eminem was probably all about something poking fun at homosexuals.

But I probably wouldn't read that far into it. IMO it was just two people who are very popoular right now doing a stunt to have some fun.

I don't think Cohen is trying to be pro-gay or anti-gay. His character is definitely offensive to the gay community but I think he is trying to make a point of how stupid the people are he interviews. I recommend you guys watch some of the Ali G show and check out the skits. Some of them Bruno interviews people from the fashion industry(more people like him, really flamboyant, etc.) and other times he goes to places like Alabama and almost gets killed. It's funny because one time he is at a gun show interviewing a dude talking about rights, and the right to choose to bear arms, and the guy pretty much says gays don't have that right, lol.

I think I've seen just about every episode of Ali G. I think it's hilarious. That guy at the gun show was about ready to knock him out.

I agree that he's not trying to be pro or anti gay, I was just speaking about Eminem's participation in a skit with a guy who is obviously offensive to the gay community. itvnetop was arguing that Em wouldn't willingly do that because of his homophobe reputation.

Maybe the mic was in Bruno's buttcrack?

I thought it was pretty bad.

Everyone admits it's fake when it was already painfully obvious it was set up, and people still don't believe it.

Santa is real too you know.

MTV awards are irrelavant and Eminem is a loser. I wish Cohen would make a Borat 2 instead of this Bruno crap
