MTV Awards Tainted -- Eminem/Bruno Was Staged

The head writer of the MTV Movie Awards has finally cleared up something everyone already knew anyway -- the cheeky exchange between Bruno's bare backside and Eminem's face was completely staged.

Mtv Movie Awards Bruno Eminem

The L.A. Times spotted the following note on Scott Aukerman's website:

"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."

We can all now move on with our lives.

34. RE-DIRECT TO #24 YOU STATED:

Eminem's bodyguards would have destroyed bruno if it had not been staged.
People need to much of the obvious explained too them sometimes.
--------------------------------
Finally, somebody with some sense.
I am originally from Detroit, and now
currently living in Miami Beach.
I happen to know M, and his people.
If you've ever heard of Detroit's reputation for violence,
than you would also know that what I am about to say, would be the case.

If this stunt was not staged, M's boys would have beaten this
S. Cohen to death. Trust me when I say, To Death.

As a matter of fact, Sacha Cohen knowing that he would be murdered,
or maimed for such a display. Would never have agreed to go through with it,
without the approval of M.

Sacha Cohen may be crazy, but he's not insane...ARTOFWAR

36. if he agreed to it, he must be a little gay. and as his fan, that must mean I'm a little gay, too.

that's how I know Em would never agree to something like this; it would make me gay.

ha ha eminem fans! your faulty homophobia logic makes you gay!

37. QUESTION IS???? HOW DID THEY GOT EMINEM TO GO ALONG WITH IT? IT WAS AN OBVIOUS DIS BY THE HETEROPHOBE WRITERS AND PRODUCERS AT MTV. IS HE THAT DESPERATE FOR MEDIA ATTENTION?

38. If anything should happen to Sacha...

everyone would know who did it....

even if M had an alibi.

Not good for your reputation.

And his bodyguards couldn't have destroyed Cohen....

with all those wittnesses?

Come on...

they're tough...

but they're not stupid.

39. The narrative changed to "it was staged" only after Emimen threatened to sue MTV and Bruno's ass off. That's exactly what I would have made MTV say if they'd punked me that way. Yeah, it was "staged" and Eminem was part of the gag. Sure.

40. No! You've got to be kidding me?

41. IT WASN'T STAGED!!!!!!! Geez people, do you all really think that Eminem would ever agree to have another man's crap in his face - NO he wouldn't. Everyone is talking so much about this and Eminem raised so much hell to MTV that MTV is now "stating" that is was staged so people will drop the subject. Trust me this is not good publisity for his new album, Eminem knows it & Eminem made sure to raise hell to let MTV know it too. I would like to hear that it was all staged from Eminem himself - then I will drop the subject.

42. No, I am from Michigan, and the Eminem is have heard- would never, ever agree to this. I think MTV, doesnt want all the drama, because they know that act was vile, so they dont want people pissed. I will bleeive it when Eminem says it was staged. The reason his bodyguards didnt beat the crap out of the flying angel, was they were probably in a daze like the rest of us ast to what was happeneing, and not like the flying man hit him. I hope Eminem sterilizes his face.

43. If Bruno would've done that on purpose without eminem knowin, Eminem would've punched him
Or somthin, like we don't know what emienm is capable of doing!!!!

44. The guy's being such a bitch about explaining what happened when that's what they wanted anyway. They wanted people to go crazy over it. Try explaining it to some of those idiots on youtube like I did. haha
