MTV Writer Admits the Bruno-Eminem Stunt Was Faked
On Sunday night, when Sacha Baron Cohen's alter-ego Bruno descended from the rafters and landed fanny-first on Eminem's head, most folks figured that the rapper's rage was the real deal. Suckers! Not only was Eminem in on the joke, he and Baron Cohen rehearsed it to make sure it would all go according to plan.

Suspicions over the legitimacy of "butt-gate" had been brewing for days, but it wasn't until a writer for the MTV Movie Awards confessed that we all knew for sure. On his blog, head writer Scott Aukerman wrote that the incident was staged. "They rehearsed it at dress (rehearsal) and yes, it went as far as it did on the live show." Wow. Let it never be said that Eminem isn't a team player.

According to the New York Daily News, Eminem wasn't Baron Cohen's first choice for the joke. That honor, which was tragically declined, went to Paris Hilton. Just imagine the buzz had that happened. Still, Eminem did a great job of selling the stunt considering he "may not have been briefed on just how naked Baron Cohen's flying 'Bruno' would be when he agreed." What a pro.

Even before the writer's admission that the crash landing was planned, the searches had a suspicious slant. Throughout Monday, lookups on " was the eminem bruno stunt staged" and "eminem bruno joke" posted strong gains. Blogs, like this one from the Chicago Tribune, raised the possibility that the audience had just been played.

Now that the joke has been confirmed, queries are surging on "bruno eminem fake stunt." We'd say we feel used, but we're too busy laughing.

Yeah, right... they have to say that so that Eminem doesn't look like a douche.

Otherwise there would be a heavy lawsuit...

Anyone who saw it and thought it was real is really gullible. First of all they had the thing that pulled Bruno across the room already set up to drop him directly above MMs seat. Then as he is lowered you see the guy sitting infront of MM help direct bruno into the right posisiton. All this time MM saw him coming down right on top of him and laid back allowing brunos head to go between his legs and M's head between Bruno's. Wouldn't someones normal reaction be, if they saw someone slowly being lowered on them, to move unless they were expecting it.

No, not really.

If it is a show you are watching, you go along with it. It's not like he would know what Bruno was doing until he fell in his lap. And he got lowered pretty quickly. At the time MnM figured what was going on his face was already smelling Brunos ass.

Hell, if it would be me, I would be lughing my ass off.

What are you in love with MnM or something?

I posted on this yesterday. Considering Eminem had a mic on (did anyone else pay attention to that) while Bruno was on his face, it was too obvious. And he also had a perplexed look on his face long before Bruno landed on him.
Like he knew it was going to happen.

Re: MTV Writer Admits the Bruno-Eminem Stunt Was Faked
i heard it was staged and they practiced it.

however, i also heard eminem did not know that he was going to be in a thong which pissed him off.

that sounds like the best explanation i have heard.
