BrunoSacha Baron Cohen makes a living out of outlandish characters like Borat and Brüno who put people in uncomfortable situations, but this time around he seems to have upset the wrong people — members of an organization called Al Aqsa Martyers Brigades — by calling one of their former members a “terrorist leader.” Read more »

Brüno’s Unsportsmanlike Conduct

June 30th, 2009

Today in hardly surprising news, Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest comedic creation, Brüno, has done something to upset someone else: The Los Angeles Superintendent is none too pleased over the funnyman’s photo with Birmingam High School football players in this month’s GQ.

 

Superintendent Ramon Cortines doesn’t like the pics, which feature Sacha as the gay Austrian fashionistadressed in shoulder pads, tight shorts and an athletic cup, surrounded by the San Fernando Valley high school’s football players. Cortines says the district has "allowed our students to be used,"

Local district superintendent Jean Brown said she’s trying to determine who was responsible.

LaToya Jackson Scenes Cut from Brüno

June 26th, 2009

The death of Michael Jackson shocked the world yesterday, including producers of Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest uncomfortably funny comedy, Brüno. Those in charge raced to cut mocking footage of LaToya Jackson just hours before the film debuted in L.A., AFP reported.

The character of Brüno convinces LaToya in the movie that he’s an Austrian fashion journalist while taking a few comedic shots at her (including a scene where she eats sushi off the body of a naked Mexican worker acting as a table) and producers decided those jokes weren’t appropriate in light of her brother’s death. It’s doubtful that those scenes will remain in the film on July 10 when the movie opens nationwide.

 

Despite all efforts to eliminate controversy, Brüno did still end up causing a small mishap. Mourning fans gathered to lay flowers on Michael Jackson’s star on Hollywood Boulevard on Thursday, but the flowers were laid on the wrong star. Brüno’s red carpet covered the musician’s star, while the star with the misplaced flowers belonged to radio talk show host Michael Jackson, the Wall Street Journal reported.
