There are reports out now that a writer for the 2009 MTV Movie Awards by the name of Scott Aukerman has said that the incident between Sacha Baron Cohen (Bruno) and Eminem on Sunday (5-31-09) night, was a rehearsed, staged, stunt.

The incident involved Sacha getting tangled up in wires while hanging from the ceiling of the amphitheater,and falling right square on Eminem with his bare butt right in Em’s face. Also there are some reports that Eminem wasn’t the first choice for the stunt. They actually wanted to use Paris Hilton at first,but she declined to do it according to Life & Style magazine’s website.

The incident was one of the most talked about highlights of the show,and was truly one of the craziest things I’ve seen in a long time.The stunt ended with Eminem swearing and leaving the building very angry. But writer Scott Aukerman who apparently worked with the Andy Samberg who was the host of the show, wrote a blog post stating that the incident was staged. He said, “That’s all anyone wants to talk about, so let’s get it out of the way. They rehearsed it at dress (rehearsal) and yes, it went as far as it did on the live show then.” The posting has now been removed,the reports claim.

MTV,Sacha Baron Cohen,and Eminem have all refused to speak about it.

I personally want to believe that it was staged because they just gotta know that Slim Shady doesn’t play like that,otherwise.
