He said he was: NEW YORK (AP) -- Eminem says he knew full well what he was about to face at the MTV Movie Awards — including Sasha Baron Cohen's bare butt. Eminem told the Web site RapRadar.com that the much-talked about stunt was all rehearsed, right down to Eminem's mock disgust. Says the rapper: "I'm thrilled that we pulled this off better than we rehearsed it." Video: 'Bruno' lands on Eminem Eminem says when he left the show, he went back to his hotel and laughed for three hours, including as he watched the playback. The rapper calls himself a "big fan" of Baron Cohen, who he said approached him about the gag while he was in Europe. At Sunday's live show, the comedian descended from the ceiling on a wire in a fake mishap that ended with his bare hindquarters in Eminem's face. http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=412581>1=28103
Actually, there were some good moments during this award show. Aside from Twilight winning everything, it wasn't bad. Seriously, the folks who were too cool to watch missed some gems. Obviously this whole Em/Bruno incident, Jim Carrey's speech, "Cool guys walk away from explosions" video with Will Ferrel and Andy Samburg and who can forget the classic rendition of "Stick in the Box" by my man Forrest Whitaker. It was entertaining, which is what award shows are suppose to do. Back to the Eminem thing, hes just having fun with himself. People say he can't "take it". Well, he sure knows how to give people what they want. Gotta love how Bruno never breaks character.
I stopped watching when they showed the Twilight dude and you could hear all the 12-13 year girls screaming.
Are you an MTV Award Show purist who likes to reminisce about the good ol days and how things were always better back then?
