Eminem MTV Stunt "Rehearsed"

2009-06-04 by Fugue | 78 Comments
According to Scott Aukerman, head script writer for the MTV movie awards show, Sacha Baron-Cohen's stunt involving alter-ego Bruno at the 2009 MTV movie awards was rehearsed. The stunt, which involved Baron-Cohen being lowered onto Eminem's lap, and then saw Eminem storm out, was revealed to be staged after an entry on Aukerman's personal blog.

So yeah, I don't know if this is MTV just trying to make like everything is OK or not, but it makes the whole thing more interesting regardless.

^^^ A group of words forms a sentence. Sentences require grammar and punctuation in order for them to have relevance and meaning.

On another note pertaining to this thread, Eminem looks like he got put through the wringer.

thanks for the grammer lesson, please teach me more i was'nt aware that i have proper grammer for this site i pretty sure that you got the gist of what i was saying

and i also just read on rolling stone that eminem went back to his hotel room after mtv awards and laughed for the next three hours, at the stunt. so i may be wrong bout mtv protecting eminem's image i geuss em was in on it too

Yes, MTV is obviously just covering up for Eminem being a homophobe.

1. He's buddies with Elton John.
2. More than one party involved has said this was staged.
3. If it wasn't, he could've very easily... I don't know... Moved out of the way?

You're all so quick to call him out as being a douche. Well, you're doing exactly what he wants you to do. Now shut up and talk about music or something.

Also, Eminem acted pretty well in 8 Mile. If your excuse for believing this was real is that Eminem can now act, you are obviously helplessly retarded.

The stupidity of a lot of you is mind blowing. Why would MTV let them kill this news story that was generating so much talk if it was legitimate?

The skit started with a close up of Eminem making an exaggerated look up to Cohen, and ended with his bodyguards comically pushing Bruno back and forth. Really, if you thought it was real before this, you're kind of dense, but if you still think it's real and it's a cover up to save Eminem's reputation, you're a complete moron.

I'll believe that the stunt, on behalf of Cohen, was real. I think that Em's reaction wasn't though. It just doesn't seem like that would be scripted. It's stupid. It isn't funny. Cohen knew what he was going to do, but Em didnt know a thing.

You, Mach and Mirai87. Are you saying that you're one of the others, becuase that string of posts sure sounded (well, read) like it came from the same person.

Also, does the fact that I haven't stated my opinion on this life or death subject (to you anyway) also makes me a stupid gullible child like all the other 'stupid heads'?

No it didn't. People just don't want to open their mind to the war that is being waged on our freedom so they convince themselves with all sorts of crap.

Thats what MTV is doing to us here. This incident broke the fourth wall.

well then you obviously haven't done research on it. the 2nd portion is mostly factual as is the third, but the first portion about religion and mythology has a LOT of false stuff in it, mostly all the stuff presented about the gods in mythology. this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6-k6Jg5i18 basically addresses all that (by the way the guy that made the video is an atheist himself)

IMO, even if it did happen for real, there'd be four opitions
1. MTV would still say it was rehearsed
2. Em would file suit against everyone lol
3. Sacha PROBABLY would have been stabbed/shot/tossed around more
4. (I leave to your imagination)

I didn't read the attached article, but I read somewhere else that Paris Hilton was first choice to try to get in on it.


Em probably wouldn't have put up a struggle if it was paris who swung from nowhere and shoved her bare tush in his face

That video is poorly put together and completely misinformed.

I don't think this surprised anyone. Cohen is obviously the type to do that, and it just seemed too much for an unplanned act.


What on earth does Leonard Cohen have to do with this?

Eminem is the biggest poser on the planet and even if he did have violent homies accompanying to these fancy pants awards it's not like any stabbing and/or shooting was going to happen in front of the sizable audience and millions of viewers.
