Bruno Flying at the MTV Movie Awards

If there’s anything we’ve learned from this weekend, it’s this: Eminem’s performance in 8 Mile was no fluke. The rapper’s also a very good actor.

Three days after getting butt-to-face time with Bruno (a.k.a. Sacha Baron Cohen), the man who was held hostage in his chair finally speaks out.

In an interview with Rap Radar, Slim Shady says he couldn’t have been more pleased with how the planned stunt played out. “I’m thrilled that we pulled this off better than we rehearsed it. It had so many people going ‘nuts’ so to speak. Everyone was blowing me up about it,” he said.

Eminem and Bruno at the MTV Movie AwardsUPDATE: You can read Eminem’s reaction to the planned stunt here.

This might explain why MTV still has Eminem’s face cemented to their home page.

Even though an official confirmation has not been offered from either the rapper or the network, a behind-the-scenes source from the MTV Movie Awards has now addressed yesterday’s most talked-about moment. According to Scott Aukerman, Andy Samberg’s head writer,  Sacha Baron Cohen’s cheeky encounter with Slim Shady was no accident.

“Yes, the Eminem-Bruno incident was staged. They rehearsed it at dress [rehearsal] and yes, it went as far as it did on the live show,” Scott wrote in his blog.

That clarification doesn’t make the situation any less gross…but it does make it that much funnier.

Samberg Spoofs Slumdog and Twilight in MTV Movie Awards Open

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Cable, MTV, Video


If you’re anything like me, the is painful waste of your time. The ceremony is only a step above the People’s Choice Awards (thanks to the caliber of celebrities), but equally as credible.

That said, Andy Samberg’s performance - and Bruno’s encounter with Eminem - made this year’s broadcast slightly easier to swallow. After watching him spoof several of the year’s most popular films (Twilight, Star Trek, Slumdog Millionaire, The Reader), check out Andy’s musical commentary on explosions after the jump.

UPDATE: You can read Eminem’s reaction to the planned stunt here.

What’s the best way to get on Eminem’s bad side? Well - if you’re , just get your naked rear in his face.

During tonight’s broadcast of the , actor Sacha Baron Cohen (promoting his movie about an Austrian fashionista) flew in from the rafters on on a high note…then descended toward the rapper’s low note. Needless to say, this prompted the musician and his crew to leave in disgust.

Sarah Silverman Takes on MTV Movie Awards

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Music, Cable, Cable/Satellite

Sarah Silverman Say what you will about Sarah Silverman, but I really like her. I know people tire of her crude humor, but I couldn’t help watch The Sarah Silverman Program on Comedy Central just to see what she’d come up with next. So, I’m excited to hear that she’ll be hosting this year’s MTV Movie Awards. She told The Associated Press, “Ever since I was a little girl, before it even started in 1980 — MTV — I said, `Someday, I want there to be an all-music channel that gives out awards for movies. And I want to host that show.’” A real wise-ass after my own heart. This year Survivor creator Mark Burnett is taking over the awards show, so this could be a whole new program. Check it out on June 3rd.

Mark Burnett Takes on MTV Movie Awards

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Award Shows, Music, Prime Time, Cable, Apprentice, The - Donald, Rock Star, Survivor

Mark BurnettBecause there’s nothing that Mark Burnett can’t handle—he will now be taking control of the MTV Movie Awards as executive producer. Now, we can’t expect any Burnett production to be without twists. But what can he do to an awards show? Make the nominees compete in elaborate challenges? Send the award losers to exile island? Have Donald Trump fire someone? Well, he can’t do too much to the awards, but he is changing things up a bit by televising the MTV Movie Awards live for the first time. Burnett won’t be altering much of anything, and the kooky categories and movie parodies that fans enjoy will stay put. He does plan to include some “bombshell moments” to make the broadcast more interesting. MTV president Christina Norman says in a statement, “Mark has great ideas and vision for the Movie Awards, and I know he’s going to bring some fresh energy to the show.” The MTV Movie Awards will air on June 3rd.
