Eminem gets a bum deal from Brüno

Eminem's close encounter with Sacha Baron Cohen at the MTV Movie awards shows suggests he's now as pompous as the celebrities he pokes fun at. But was he in on the joke?

'Anybody familiar with Eminem's music videos will know this is a man who loves to parody celebrities. Whether it's Michael Jackson's nose falling off or Sarah Palin in a pornographic pose, no famous person is safe. But the problem the Detroit rapper now faces is that he's no longer just an outsider poking fun at bloated egos, he's one of them, and that puts him in the firing line too. This weekend, comedian Sacha Baron Cohen appeared at the MTV Movie awards in Los Angeles as his gay, fashionista character Brüno.

Brüno's entrance was captivating: wearing little more than a pair of angel wings and "flying" above the audience, his wire contraption conveniently failed and he was lowered from the ceiling, landing straight in the lap of Eminem, upside down with his crotch in the rapper's face. Eminem can be seen saying to his flunkies, "Get this motherfucker off me!" before they leap into action and clumsily attempt to push the comedian's naked behind away from Eminem's face. It's so perfectly done you wonder whether Eminem wasn't in on the stunt. Could he have been? Something about the way he storms out of the awards with a face like thunder suggests otherwise.'

    what a crybaby. He writes endless tunes about how other people are stupid and endlessly makes fun of other celebrities. But when he is the target of someone else's jokes, he storms off like a kid having a tantrum.

    Yet again, Eminem, shows how he is basically over and done with as a force in hip hop or modern day music.

    He essentially writes parody songs. We already have Weird Al. So why doesnt eminem take a hike?

    That was too well orchestrated to not be a work. Marshall had to be in on the whole thing. Actually, his acting this weekend was better than 8 Mile.

    Both Cohen and Eminem could be lost at sea, and I would never miss either one of them. :twisted:

    Besides....hasn't MTV already used the flying guy showing his ass bit before???? ;):mrgreen:

    Eminem and Bruno faked it.

    Except for the 608,000+ copies sold and his #1 spot on the album charts. (Not saying that makes him good, even though I like the new album, just shows he isn't "over and done with as a force in hip hop or modern day music.")
    Thanks EPOTTSIII!

    i think some of you are being a little hard on eminem. yeah he busts on celebrities in his songs, and probably has taken a few jabs at them in public before, but he doesn't straddle them and put his ass right in there face. i would've been pissed too. it's one thing to give some one a hard time and bust their balls, but eminems space was clearly being violated there. his reaction was natural and if anything i think he handled it well. i probably would've started swinging if that happened to me, and i'm a non-violent person. bruno went too far. kinda funnny though.
