Eminem Gets A Face Full Of Bruno
Eminen got a face full of Bruno's crotch during the MTV Movie Awards last night.
As you'll see in the clip below, Bruno, Sacha Baron Cohen's gay Austrian fashionista alter ego, soared above the audience dressed as an angel. Or maybe he was a bird. In any case, he was wearing wings—and not much else.
Suddenly, Bruno took a nosedive, landing face first in Eminem's lap.
Eminem—never shy about celebrating homophobia in his music—freaked out, and after his posse helped get him out from underneath Bruno's balls, the rapper, who earlier in the show performed two cuts off his comeback album Relapse, stormed out of the auditorium.
Was Eminem in on the joke? He certainly could have been, but then again, maybe he wasn't. After all, Sacha Baron Cohen is famous for ambushing and humiliating people.
What do you think?
I think Eminem was in on it, he and his body men didnt react soon enough. They probably wouldnt have let him land on him? Who knows, it was still kinda funny.

I have to say ...absolutely fantastic. I cannot stop laughing...definitely seeing the movie

If Eminem didn't know about it, then I think it was fucked up. Gay or not, I would be so pissed off if someone's ass landed in my face while I was on national television. Another over the top representation of gay men.... no wonder the world doesn't take us serious! But at the same time, Eminem..... karma is a bitch

I am so over publicity stunts. I mean, REALLY? How stupid do celebrities think we are anyway?? It was an insult to both my intelligence and sexuality. (But it was entertaining.)
Posted by: IrishMo | June 01, 2009 at 12:01 PM
THAT WAS AWESOME! Eminem totally deserved it.
Posted by: AgnelloDei | June 01, 2009 at 12:06 PM
Once again, we embrace stereotypes and go for the shock effect, then wonder why we get portrayed the way we do.
I have no shame in being attracted to other guys. But it's shit like this that makes me embarrassed to be gay and a member of this community.
Posted by: Greg | June 01, 2009 at 12:35 PM
I'm torn between whether or not this was a publicity stunt.
Either way - it was amusing.. Sacha is awesome.
Posted by: Tim | June 01, 2009 at 12:36 PM
Omg he so deserved that shit to funny

Hysterical!!! All in Good fun I'd say!!!
And Sacha Cohen & Eminem acting on cue!!!
Posted by: Gerard | June 01, 2009 at 12:57 PM
loved it! i actually like some of eminems music, but i thinkhe deserved it.if you want to dish it out as much as he does then be ready to take some and swallow!!lmao!

"But it's shit like this that makes me embarrassed to be gay and a member of this community."
Is Sasha Cohen (sp?) isn't gay and Eminem isn't gay, how does this reflect the gay community if no one gay was involved? Also, everyone either praises or condemns the gay community. I think at the most it's a lot of small regional communities. There's no ID card or GayCommunity Visa card for members only.

he got what he deserved
Posted by: joel | June 01, 2009 at 01:16 PM
oh puhleeze, Eminem was so in on that schtick.
Posted by: Edward | June 01, 2009 at 01:22 PM
Stupid fucking staged publicity stunts. Come on America, first Timberlane and Janet's tit, now this? It's time we show a little more class and dignity. Who comes up with these spectacles? The same people who did the Porky's movies??
Posted by: Dan | June 01, 2009 at 01:26 PM
Of COURSE it was a stunt. The likelihood of him falling RIGHT on Eminem is pretty slim. I would guess it was VERY carefully choreographed, and rehearsed numerous times.
Posted by: Art | June 01, 2009 at 01:37 PM
whatever!
do it again!
Posted by: Lam | June 01, 2009 at 01:44 PM
That was awesome, even more so because Zac Efron was on the clip too!
Posted by: Michael | June 01, 2009 at 01:54 PM
Eminem is a talentless piece of human excrement. Please stop giving him free publicity. His songs are all the same and I don't care if he was in on the joke or not - the guy is a 100% loser who is happy to preach gay hatred.
Posted by: Glenn Lennox, Texas | June 01, 2009 at 01:57 PM
Stupid and tasteless. It's just cringe-worthy. This guy's 15 minutes must be up soon. Please?
Posted by: lolz | June 01, 2009 at 02:05 PM
If it happened to another celebrity, I'd say the joke may have gone a little too far, but since it happened to trash like Eminem, I think it's hilarious!
Posted by: Dave | June 01, 2009 at 02:12 PM
No way was eminem in on it, thank god! The little prick.
Posted by: Kirk | June 01, 2009 at 02:53 PM
i wouldn't worry so much about seeing this, it's on MTVCANADA every three hours anyways, and much music will air it in a few days, too
Posted by: tWIst | June 01, 2009 at 02:54 PM
Two words - Justifiable homicide. People think MM was "in" on it? Are you sh*tting me? MM has an image and a rep to maintain. I'm just a regular Joe Bag O'Donuts, and if some dork pulled a PR stunt (for HIMSELF) and his ass deliberately ended up in my face, I'd have lost my mind (read: Temporary Insanity) and laid a beat-down on that idiot that would pre-empt any other idiots who might try anything similar. I don't know what's a more pathetic comment on American "culture" (ha!): The fact that this stunt was undertaken, or the number of people who find it amusing. Absolutely sick, disgusting behavior.
Posted by: Ray | June 01, 2009 at 02:56 PM
I so tired of the same people winning these crappy awards its not funny. And all these stunts, just to grab attention
Posted by: michael | June 01, 2009 at 03:09 PM
I dunno if Eminem was in on it, but Sacha has a cute butt.
Posted by: Reflector | June 01, 2009 at 03:14 PM
Well...Eminem does have a new album out. This is his way of letting the world know he's still around.
Posted by: Jack | June 01, 2009 at 03:16 PM
I don't know how this could help Marshall Mathers careers in any way. He just looks more like the asshole everybody already knew he already was.
SASHA IS ALWAYS SMOKING HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF HE'S NOT GAY, HE'S CERTAINLY GAY-FRIENDLY.
Posted by: Steven | June 01, 2009 at 03:24 PM
poor Eminem, his tough guy persona couldn't save him from Sacha Cohen's pranking skills
Posted by: Nomad | June 01, 2009 at 03:29 PM
I think some of you need to get off the cross! I have a lesbian on the way over to build me a deck and i need the wood. (oh my god! someone revoke my gay card for using someone gay in a joke!!) All of you watched it, you made the choice to hit play even with the pre story. It was funny. Like it or not its stuff like this that makes us tune in to see what's next. Guess what though? If you don't like it, you dont have to watch next time. :) And for the record, eminem and sacha are amazing!
Posted by: Bret | June 01, 2009 at 03:31 PM
LMAO......

HAHA serves him right. When you spit up in the sky, it comes down as Borat's tuschie! LOL

MM...Bodyguards...FAIL.
Get new bodyguards...they didn't protect the client. These dogs didn't bark.

to quote Gertrude in Hamlet, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." ( IE. it looks like he is fighting too hard to protect his heterosexuality. )

This is hilarious material! My neighbors must think I'm on something because I laughed so loud. Effron looked like a douche though. :-/
Posted by: Brandon | June 01, 2009 at 04:40 PM
I think that eminem liked it and as alot of artist they are gay and they look gay but still say they are not to save thier ass from bieng seen bad I dont need magic to know that he liked it just look at how he reacted Brouno is great boy he exposed him as he was the star of the night ,belive almost all the artists are gay .
Posted by: Ibrahim | June 01, 2009 at 05:24 PM
Haha, as I am reading these comments I can't help but laugh at how stupid people are. Here you are, saying things like THIS IS MAKING US LOOK BAD, or I WONDER WHY PEOPLE HATE US, or other stupid blathers. Funny, that just because a GAY man did this stunt, it all of the sudden becomes a major target for all these self-hating guys. It's pathetic. I wonder if a female did this.. that people would go the complete opposite road of what they are saying now. You self hating gays, need to shut up and stop blaming every other gay for the problems we all face. Don't be idiots!
Posted by: Skyy | June 01, 2009 at 05:25 PM
Stupid, rediculous, immature, infantile, staged CRAP! I wouldn't waste a brain cell watching or being proud of crap like that.
Posted by: JEP | June 01, 2009 at 05:31 PM
Once again we do not get the same treatment...video not available
Posted by: glenn | June 01, 2009 at 05:37 PM
I'm so tired of gay media screaming homophobia over everything.
Ya, if Em didn't know that was coming he's got every right to be pissed. I don't hate women, but if one shoved her pussy in my face like that, I'd be pissed too.
Cohen is the one you should be pissed off at. He's mocking us all with this stupid fucking character.
Get a grip.
Posted by: Rain | June 01, 2009 at 05:52 PM
I don't think Eminem was in on it. He looks genuinely pissed off and I think his posse gets in some pretty good hits on Bruno as they pull him off.
Bruno as a character is designed to piss people off, not to be an ambassador.
Posted by: qnw | June 01, 2009 at 06:20 PM
Although this doesn't help the gay community image, it is funny and I think eminem finally got some ass in his face, yeah he sings enough about getting ass.
Posted by: Laun | June 01, 2009 at 06:29 PM
I don't believe Eminem was in on it. I think he was ambushed by someone who's antics we can hardly call comedic.
And I disagree that Eminem got what he deserved and all the other negative commentary posted so far. Yes, Eminem has "homophobic" lyrics. A product of his environment, being "soft" is not in his nature and not what lies within the pool of inspiration he draws from.
Remember, for all the homophobia that we can criticize him for, as an artist, he was accepting enough to perform a duet with Elton John in an earlier broadcast awards program. Heck, if it really were a problem for that matter, Elton wouldn't have done it himself.
As an artist, he is who he is and we need to learn to respect his differing opinions though we may not agree.
More importantly though, as a person, we need to respect his boundaries. He is not comfortable being so "close" to gay men. He doesn't have the straight plague same as we do not have the gay plague.
Sacha Cohen is himself defaming our community with his lampoon. It goes beyond just a stereotype when he gets aggressive with people. Cohen got aggressive when he failed to respect a person's space. Eminem or other - it does not matter who - its about respect for EVERYONE EQUALLY.
I am far more offended by the gay portrayal than I am that Eminem or anyone was acosted and offended in this action.
If more gay men had pussy thrust in thier faces, maybe they would see Eminem as more of an individual and human being. Gay is not the xchosen people - there are no chosen people. All equal. All respected.

Good point, I guess its just I don't particularly like eminems style.
Posted by: Laun | June 01, 2009 at 07:14 PM
Excellent post above, but I just want to add:
Eminem is a rapper and they use strong language. Just cuz the guy uses the word "fag" here and there, doesn't make him homophobic. It's a style of music where worlds are used for effect.
And the way I heard it, not only was he "accepting" enough to perform with Elton, he was apparently quite overwhelmed that Elton was willing to perform with him.
If you listen to his new record and hear past the expletives and the shocking imagery, then you'll know there's a real person in there.
Posted by: Rain | June 01, 2009 at 07:22 PM
he knew and sales for his album will go up LOL
Posted by: David | June 01, 2009 at 07:42 PM
Remember this commercial guys?:
"Eminems melt in your mouth, not in your hands!"
Posted by: full deck | June 01, 2009 at 07:43 PM
Maybe Sacha Cohen cut a fart in Eminem's face? Anyway, if someone landed on me that way, I'd not be amused.
Posted by: oldkingtroll | June 01, 2009 at 07:54 PM
You know Eminem got a hard on sniffing Sacha Cohen's ass. He was ready to lick it before his bodyguards wanted a tatst of it too!
