We’re relieved to say that everyone can now stop theorizing over whether or not Eminem knew that Sacha Baron Cohen was going to plant his butt in his face from a great height during the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday.
He did. It was all a big stunt.
A chief writer on the show has admitted on his Tumblr (it’s like Twitter) that it had all been carefully planned out during rehearsals.
Check out the pics of the incident below:
"Yes, the Bruno/Eminem incident was staged. That’s all anyone wants to talk about, so let’s get it out of the way. They rehearsed it at dress and yes, it went as far as it did on the live show then," wrote Scott Aukerman.
But according to blog Animal, it seems that someone (MTV, perhaps?) wasn’t too pleased about Scott’s revelation. The post was quickly deleted.
While fans waited with bated breath last night to see Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart re-enact their winning Best Kiss from Twilight, the onscreen duo had a little trick up their sleeves… no thanks to Rob!
"[The acceptance] was Kristen’s idea. My ideas were so terrible they were rejected," he tells Entertainment Tonight of their non-kiss. "So I’m happy she helped me two minutes before it happened."
Kristen’s not shy about owning up to her plan either, adding, "That was my big idea. I’m not going to kiss you!"
Even co-star Peter Facinelli says he’s going to get a piece of the Best Kiss award, and all the others, as the cast is going to pass them around.
"We’ll share them! Everyone gets them. Every week we trade off. I get to have the best kiss for one week," Peter explains. "We’re all one big happy family."
Robert adds lightly, "We’re just going to smash them."
However, Kristen has almost gone down that road already, accidentally dropping her popcorn trophy for Best Female Performance.
"I already broke my award, it’s really embarrassing," she jokes.
TWILIGHT AT THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS:
Meanwhile on Team Jacob, Taylor Lautner is pretty blown away after seeing the trailer for New Moon so soon after filming the movie.
"It’s really cool! We had a blast making the film and we just wrapped. So now that the trailer is already coming out, it’s really cool to be able to see it for the first time," he says. "
And as for those devoted fans, some of which came from Australia and Germany just to catch sight of their favorite stars, Taylor seems honored to be in the limelight.
"We were just making this book series and we hoped some fans would enjoy it and they did," he admits. "Then it kind of exploded from there and here we are!"
10:59 And the cast got cut off but that’s okay because we’re ending this show on time. Thanks for watching with us, it’s time to go watch that one vampire movie with whatsisname in it and just see what all the fuss is about. Night!
10:58 And the best movie winner is TWILIGHT OMGOMG ROBERT PATTINSON WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! But seriously folks, was there ever any doubt?
10:57 Denzel Washington is on stage with his daughter. Get your hair out of your eyes girl! Best Movie is about to be announced. Feel the vampire love in the air.
10:54 Are we going to get out of here on time? And by here I mean am I going to be done sitting on my friend’s couch because she has cable and I don’t? Still in commercials with five minutes left to the show’s planned run time.
10:52 Heath Ledger won Best Villain, which was announced in a commercial takeaway. Interesting.
10:50 Also, I must’ve missed it when someone explained why Jim is wearing this shapeless, dirty-looking coat. With this voiceover thing… does that mean this is rigged? Jim’s voice just asked for someone to overturn Prop 8 so he could marry Robert Pattinson. Again, jokes going on for too long.
10:48 Best Comedic Performance is a good one to get, and it’s a co-ed category. All these people were pretty funny but apparently the funniest was Jim Carrey. Is this 1997?
10:47 Kitties! Danny McBride and Will Ferrell are petting cats on stage. They’re trying to be evil apparently. I think they’re fake. The cats, not Danny and Will. Ah, euthanized instead of anaesthetized! Jokes, they got’em.
10:46 Speaking of Robert, scroll on down below for the trailer for New Moon in case you missed earlier. You can watch it over and over and over again. If you want.
10:40 Place your bets now for Best Movie. If Twilight doesn’t win I will promise to not have heart palpitations upon hearing R-Patts’ name for an entire week.
10:38 The Kings of Leon are about to rock it out brother-style on stage (because three of them are siblings, get it?).
10:37 So Kristen admits she’s awkward after she chucks her award accidentally. Just like Bella, eh Twi fans?
10:35 Best Female Performance Award up now. Kristen Stewart will probably win this but who knows if the vampire magic will hold. And yep, she’s got it. Maybe no one else should’ve even bothered to show up besides the cast of Twilight.
10:34 The movie parodies are really on top of their game this year, including the brief Star Trek/Clown College bit.
10:29 Doubt as a video game? Inspiring, Andy. Inspiring.
10:26 This Ben Stiller thing is going on for waaaaay too long. Kiefer Sutherland is funny but really, it’s almost ten minutes. Snoresies.
10:22 Zac Efron needs a haircut.
10:19 Ben Stiller getting a Lifetime Achievement Award [Generation Award, my bad] because he’s funny and he’s been in funny movies where he milks cats and is a model and slaps a monkey. So he wins!
10:18 I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t just gotten some goosebumps watching that. Taylor Lautner really got ripped and the wolf effects look better than they could’ve been. Mmm, handsome vampires.
**10:44 We now have the trailer for you to watch in case you missed:
10:16 So now the New Moon clip is coming. But I won’t freak out because that’s embarrassing. Okay but really I can’t wait. This better be good.
10:10 and 30 seconds Andy totally punked me there. I’ll admit it.
10:10 OHYAY NEW MOON CLIP! What I mean I’m not at all excited. Yes I am.
10:06 Lil Wayne and Leighton Meester are introducing the award for Best Song From a Movie. Quite the odd couple these two. Lil’s got some comedy chops. Aaaand the winner is… Miley Cyrus for Hannah Montana The Movie. She’d been asking her Twitter followers to vote for her so this isn’t too surprising.
10:05 Apparently Amy Poehler just won the WTF Moment award but I’m still really confused as to what it is, exactly.
10:04 Now it’s time for the WTF award. Eyerolling at this thing with Hayden P. and the British guy [Big Pack]who’s name I missed. She’s pretending she has a potty mouth but it’s going on too long.
10:00 Never thought we’d see the day when Leann Rimes sang Samberg’s "Jizzed in My Pants." Now Chris Isaak is singing some Samberg as well. Nice.Apparently saying dick is okay on TV as Forest Whitaker is currently singing that his is in a box.
9:57 Would you be surprised to hear that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart just won Best Kiss? Nope. Didn’t think so. But they did, of course. Twilight is unstoppable. K’s wearing Converse, dig that. OMGOMGOMGMG are they goin to kiss again? A million teenage hearts just stopped beating. And… they didn’t. Sigh.
9:55 MTV censors need to get a little quicker on the draw so "Suck my golden d–k" doesn’t make it through live on the air. Best Kiss award next.
9:49 Oooooh that looks good. Pretty excited, it seems like it’s going to be a great movie.
9:47 Harry Potter preview! Oh sweetness.
9:45 Zac Efron won Best Male Performance, everyone is a little bit confused about what went down with Bruno flying in and landing on people with his butt, but Zac is somehow recovering. Not sure who else was nominated but he seems pleased.
9:44 It’s Bruno time, and he’s flying in with angel wings from above. And there’s his butt. Wow. And falling and landing in Eminem’s laugh, back end up. His bodyguards are freaking out and so is he. Didn’t Triump the Comic Insult dog give him the same treatment a few years ago? Em’s leaving! Oh wow. He’s not happy, to say the least.
9:37 Of COURSE our boy Robert won. He’s just way too handsome and perfect not to, right? Obviously I’m right. Did I mention he’s handsome? Tasty.
9:36 Now we’ve got Jonah Hill and Vanessa Hudgens to introduce the award for Breakthrough Male. Jonah just mentioned pubic hair. Yikes.
9:34 Andy’s back with a parody song of guys in movies who walk away from explosions without looking back, joined by Will Ferrell. Good stuff, guys.
9:28 Em looks like he’s back in shape and enjoying being on stage. Good for him.
9:23 Time for a performance from Eminem. Haven’t seen him on stage for awhile so this could be interesting. He’s singing "We Made You." Catchy tune.
9:22 Aaaaand the winner is… Cam Gigandet and Robert Pattinson for Twilight. Shia couldn’t say Cam’s name. Everyone love Robert, who looks delicious. Everyone is freaking out for him. I bet he’ll never get used to the screaming.
9:20 More Shia, thank youuuuu. So very handsome and stylish. He’s going to present Best Fight. He seems pretty pumped to be up there.
9:12 Not really loving Megan Fox’s hair tonight. She kind of scares me too, not gonna lie. Looks like we’re about to see the sneak peek of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Love that Shia LaBeouf.
9:10 Breakthrough Female winner is… Ashley Tisdale for High School Musical 3. And she was just on our cover — we know how to pick’em!
9:08 Andy’s doing a pretty good job bringing the giggles, gotta say. I could just watch him all night. But here comes Chris Pine, so that’s good looking news.
9:06 In love with keyboard cat.
9:05 Ah yes, Andy, thanks for the first fart joke of the night. Might as well get it out now.
9:03 Aziz Ansari, awesome. Followed by Justin Timberlake… good start MTV, gotta give it to you.
9:02 Andy Samberg is already hilarious, this is great. Love the movie references already. And of COURSE he’d be in love with Robert Pattinson.
8:59 Welcome to OK!’s liveblog of the 2009 MTV Movie Awards! Is it just us or is the sound messed up? Hope this changes so we don’t miss the New Moon trailer.
Twilight fans everywhere are no doubt waiting with bated breath for the highly anticipated debut of the New Moon trailer, which will be broadcast Sunday night on the MTV Movie Awards, and now they can get 15 seconds closer to the real thing.
Entertainment Tonight has released a sneak peek of the clip, in all its 15-second glory, to get fans even more amped about seeing the movie when it’s released in November.
Meanwhile, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and the whole New Moon gang are still hard at work filming scenes for the movie, including a trip to Italy to shoot footage earlier this week.
Check out the clip below and tune in on Sunday, May 31 at 9 p.m. to the MTV Movie Awards for the full thing:
It’s definitely time to gear up for summer movie season, and MTV’s VMAs are on hand to get fans ready for their favorites: It was announced earlier this week that a clip from New Moon will debut during the show, and now footage from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will also debut new scenes.
Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint will reveal the new HarryPotter clip, while Megan Fox and director Michael Bay will introduce Transformers. Shia LaBeouf will also appear as a presenter.
Andy Samberg hosts the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, airing live on May 31 at 9 p.m. ET.
To vote for your favorite movies, head on over to MTV.com now.
Ah, we can feel it in the air… Twilight mania. And it’s about to get even more exciting, even though the next film in the saga, New Moon, isn’t set to be released until November: E! News reveals that a brief clip from the upcoming flick will be shown during the MTV Movie Awards on May 31.
Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner will also be on hand to present the clip, says show producer Mark Burnett.
"Fans can tune in to the show to see sneak peeks from three of the most highly anticipated movies of the year," Burnett says. "These clips have never been seen before and we’re very excited that The Twilight Saga: New Moon is one of them."
Last year a fight scene between R-Patts’ Edward and Cam Gigandet’s bad guy James was a hit at the awards, and it was also the first time Rob and Kristen walked the red carpet together.
Andy Samberg will be hosting the show, which will be telecast live on May 31 from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, Calif.
Slum kids vs. vampires? This is a battle we have to see.
The nominations are in for the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, and it looks like Twilight and Slumdog Millionaire will dominate the proceedings.
The MTV audience — who picked the contenders for the first time this year — have nominated RPattz and co. and the Slumdog folks for six awards each.
The smash hits will be going head-to-head for best movie, best breakthrough male performance (Dev Patel vs. Robert Pattinson), best kiss (Dev Patel and Freida Pinto vs. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart) and in a new category, best song from a movie ("Jai Ho" from Slumdog vs. "Decode" from Twilight).
Another new award for this year’s ceremony, hosted by Saturday Night Live’s Andy Samberg, is the WTF moment for scenes like the naked break up in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, or Amy Poehler peeing in a sink in Baby Mama.
The 2009 MTV Movie Awards will air live on Sunday, May 31st at 9P.M./8P.M. C

While we’re hoping for a little you-know-what in a box action with his pal Justin Timberlake, let’s hope his pants remain completely clean during the show.
