MTV Movie Awards 2009: Eminem vs Brüno’s B-U-M

Ass like that!
It’s time to relive the MTV Movie Awards moment with Brüno and Eminem from, you know, yeterday, in which Sacha Baron Cohen’s Brüno flew across the auditorium in wings and a jock strap and managed to land on Eminem, leaving his buttocks to rest in the rapper's face.
Oh, just watch it!

MTV Shows

The best bit of the whole thing is when Brüno says "And the winner is Zac Efron!" Poor Zac has NO idea what to do.
The thing I think is crazy is how many people insist that Eminem had no idea it was going to happen.
Oh puh-lease.
I have two things to say about this:
1) Sasha might like getting racist yokels in awkward positions, but he’s not stupid enough to be jeopardising his career by doing that with overly-precious Hollywood types - even if they are only little rappers (Em could still send Fiddy or Dre to get him!). A case in point is the Pamela Anderson scene in Borat, which – however real looking – she had happily admitted was set up.
2) The ‘Brain were in New York for the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards when Eminem went ballistic when Triumph The Insult Comic Dog snuck up next to him during the awards. Oh, have a look! (Sorry about the quality)
Eminem vs. Triumph @ VMA

Eminem later admitted he had over-reacted – and had Triumph appear in the "Ass Like That" video – but backstage the MTV people were freaking out about his reaction. Seriously, imagine what he would have done if an ARSE was put in his FACE and he didn’t know?
Eminem has been a very important to the network and they would not risk getting him mad again.
Oh, and my last point?
My Twitter pal Scott Aukerman, head writer on the awards, confirmed what was already clearly obvious on his blog.
“Yes, the Brüno/Eminem incident was staged,” he typed. “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!”
While I did read the rest of the blog, you won’t be able to. After his comment was reported on the net, the post mysteriously disappeared.
Silenced by MTV, perhaps? Or did Eminem’s posse threaten to bust a cap?
Hmmm.
