Eminem’s Bum Deal

Posted Mon 1 Jun 2009 12:28PM BST by Dave Rumour in Snap, Crackle and Pop
The MTV Movie Awards took place in Hollywood last night but all the drama took place in the audience rather than onstage. Having already performed a medley of tracks at the Gibson Ampitheater in Universal City, Eminem was in the crowd when Sacha Baron Cohen emerged from the sky to present an award in the Best Male Performance category. Dressed as a winged white dove, the British comic was in character as Bruno, the ludicrous lead character from his new movie, the follow-up to "Borat".

As the comic was flapping across the auditorium, he seemed to become unsteady, calling on stage hands to quickly lower him from the sky. In an inevitable but equally hilarious turn of events, Bruno ended up in Eminem's lap, his jock-strap wrapped-around the rapper's head. While much hilarity can be seen in the clip below, with Cameron Diaz amongst the clearly amused onlookers, Marshall Mathers looks less amused, complaining "are you f*cking serious?!", while his bodyguards attempt to extricate their boss from Cohen's private parts. Nice work, Bruno!

How would you guys like it if someones bare ass and jockstrap went right in your face!
It was obviously planned on Eminem because Cohen was still talking in character while in the air, i personally would've punched his lights out...

you guys are all stupid, imagine yourself in that position!!!
Eminem showed amazing restraint in just walking out of there and not doing anything about it!

As someone who works in the industry it was staged, but if it was staged without emenem's knowledge that's so unprofessional of the producers it's pathetic. A practical joke may be ok but that had a potential for physical harm. Cohen may have been willing to take the chance on Emenem's reaction but Emenem has a right to expect a certain measure of safety as an audience member. If Emenem was in on it then his reaction was pathetic and he needs to go back to acting class (or get a better script writer).

Hahaha ... He so knew this was happening ... he was expecting it and was waiting for it ... if not he had all the time to move away from it ... Maybe he was not expecting a jock strap and a [profane] in is face ... I hope Bruno farted in is face ... even sharted ... that piece of white trash deserve every second of it ... he already had way too much attention . Now the joke's on him ... Show respect like you mean it and then maybe you will get some . F U Eminem !

What goes around comes around! I'm not saying he deserves it, in fact, no one is suppose to be treated like that specially live on TV but he does make fun of people through his songs and that's humiliating and disrespectful, too. I guess one can say payback is really a [profane]. hilarious... very!

Of course it was staged on the Cohen side but you honestly think eminem would agree to that lol. no way.

Dear all,
It is so bad that so many people are interested in this kind of low-level art and that this kind of action generates millions of $ for some companies/individuals that manipulate the low-level citizen minds with this kind of shows. A waste of time in this very short life that every1 has. You better read a good book and develop your brain matter with things that really matter.
Peace!
