Bruno's Butt Meets Eminem's Face

Angry rapper storms out of MTV Movie Awards

(Newser) – MTV added new category Best WTF Moment to this year’s Movie Awards, but the real WTF moment came courtesy of prankster Sacha Baron Cohen, the New York Daily News reports. Cohen—dressed as gay fashionista Bruno—descended from the ceiling in a jockstrap and angel wings, landing butt-first on a less-than-amused Eminem. The rapper, whose expletive-laden response was bleeped by the live show's censors, angrily stormed out of the theater.

“That was really weird,” said Zac Efron afterward—but was the whole thing staged? “He was pretty mad,” said an eyewitness of Eminem. “He practically walked into a camera. He couldn’t leave fast enough.”

At least the butt was face to face with the butt head. Em has musical ability but absolutely no respect for women. Of course, it could all be a gimmick because in show business you "got to have a gimmick if you want to get ahead. " a la Gypsy.

Are we forgetting what the point was? It was funny. Eminem was probably the person with the least sense of humor in the room, and he was taken a notch down. The fact that Eminem stormed out of the auditorium in a huff just makes the stunt more successful.
