Eminem got to be the center of attention for a little bit on national television. That just earns him more money in the long run.

Bahahaha, 'We Made You' sucked nutz, so now Em knows how it feels.

perhaps Em is so comfortable in his manhood that he can stand to have one of the most famous current comedians put their ass in his face

the shit was plain funny esp. bcuz it seems like a lot of people bought it

Yes people, it was staged:


The final word on Eminem/Bruno: It was staged, writes head writer
05:26 PM PT, Jun 1 2009


Reader comments are still pouring in regarding Sacha Baron Cohen's in-your-face crash-landing on Eminem at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday night, with a debate still raging as to whether or not Eminem was in on the joke. "Mr. Show With Bob and David" writing vet Scott Aukerman has thankfully cleared up the issue -- and stole a bit of thunder from MTV in the process.

He writes on his Tumblr:

Yes, the Bruno/Eminem incident was staged. That’s all anyone wants to talk about, so let’s get it out of the way. They rehearsed it at dress and yes, it went as far as it did on the live show then. Okay, you can stop reading this blog now!

But you shouldn't, as Aukerman provides a nice behind-the-scenes account of working with Andy Samberg and Akiva Shaffer, who tapped Aukerman to be their head writer for the MTV Movie Awards. He details an opening that was scrapped at the last minute, as well as the challenge of bringing Samberg's sketch-heavy comedy stylings to the MTV Movie Awards.

Feel free to pass doubt on trusting social-networking sites on the Web, but Pop & Hiss is tipping our hat to Cohen, Eminen and the entire writing team for offering a much-discussed bit, and moving on.

I bet both Eminem and Sasha are cashing in on the publicity and laughing all the way to the bank.

Interesting. Doesn’t make me want to buy Relapse any more or less.

I really dont get why people feel so shocked about this, and especially why they feel sorry for Eminem.

I mean, Eminem has dissed dosens of people in his songs and videoclips and has also made several homophobic remarks throughout his 'career'.
He has built a career on that kind of (IMO often tiresome and predictable) 'shock effects'.

Now he is getting a 'payback', from a married, heterosexual comedian playing the role of some very stereotypical european gay.
You might find it tasteless maybe, but its nothing more then an ironic joke.

The fact that Eminem walks away right after it, instead of doing a 'pay back' on Sasha by using his usual 'humor' shows what a contrived pussy he actually is...

Or..

They are indeed both in it, and use it to promote their new album / new movie..

The biggest shit I read here is about street credibility, as if you should take ANY angry looking rapper singing about his 'o-so-hard, but glorious' past seriously... come on, cut the crap.

that shit was SO staged it wasn't even funny. his reaction was SO fake. "are you f-ing serious" so unconvincing. he HAD to pretend he was pissed and leave, because of COURSE, Eminem doesn't want another man's ass in his face. Dre is his boy for a REASON.

So Eminem just agreed to have this man's ass in his face?

I can't believe this stuff was staged

That does prove that Eminem is a good actor

Not much acting skill needed. All he had to say was what the fuck and look shocked and walk out.

i knew it. there was no way Em didn't see that big bubble butt coming down at him

^Yep, exactly. I'm surprised some people thought this was real and not staged ...as if Eminem or anybody would just sit there and let some guy with his naked @ss hanging out sit on them! If it werent staged, Eminem wouldnt just sit there and let that guy come down on him like that lol!

anyone saying different should jump off a cliff right now

Actually, Sacha's t-bags were on Em's neck. But still, that is shameful.

No, Huffingtonpost says it was planned.

It just makes me wonder how far we're gonna go with stunts and gimmicks in lieu of actual entertainment, of which there was precious little on that show.

Can't figure out why they still call it MTV.

That channel's been dead since 2000.

Timmy84 said:

Yeah its been that long.

Pretty much when Carson Daly left TRL, that was the beginning of the end of the old MTV.

He got out at the perfect time

Timmy84 said:

Too true.

I don't believe it was planned.....

I think they paid him off, or Em realized that it was better to pretend he knew about it, than not to.

Oh, and I don't care who this occured to, NOT funny.

Let Awards shows be award shows.

We would never be able to have a Fred Astaire, or a Ginger Roberts, in this day.

to all the #$'&%$# who thought it was real

Time to retire eminem!!!!

Uh, Em performed with Elton John, in his movie 8 Mile he stands up for a gay character...yes he made jibes at the beginning of his career but I don't think he's homophobic.

I mean, this whole stunt should prove he's far from homophobic

Timmy84 said:

guess he signed the waiver to yes I agree to have d*ck and bawls dangle 3 inches from the eyes and mouth and agree not to sue MTV NETWORKS if verbally or physically harmed.
