Eminem fesses up to 'Bruno' stunt

Eminem getting a face full of Sacha Baron Cohen's anatomy and storming out of Sunday's MTV Movie Awards was indeed just a stunt. Surprise, surprise.

Apparently, the "Bruno" star had approached the rapper with the idea for the gag, to which Eminem readily agreed, reports the LA Times. And thus a prank was born.

"After the ceremony I went back to my hotel and laughed uncontrollably for about three hours. Especially after I saw it on air," says Eminem.

Were you fooled? Do you think it was a funny and successful prank?

Good on Eminem! It probably backfired with people badmouthing him a bit, but it was funny!

You've got to be pretty desperate to extend your fifteen minutes of fame if you're willing to 69 some clown on international television to remain relevant.

Not surprising, perhaps, given that we're talking about a pair of nitwits named Marshall and Sacha.

Where are all the Marshall apologist now? LOL!

eminem definitely wasn't in on the prank, no ****phobic man wants another guys butt hole in his face... or if he did agree to do it, it was a desperate attempt for eminem to become relevant again!

Feh!, what do you mean desperate? Did you ever think he just agreed because he thought it would be funny?
