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.

63. It's completely scripted, Em is miked up and the camera is on him before Bruno falls on him. Everything that airs on MTV is known about before it happened. I don't know why Em is trying to act so hard, its a ridiculous situation.

64. Eminem has a new CD coming out. Publicity stunt all the way. But hey, free publicity is good publicity. How else is he going to get the word out that he's still 'in the business' of making music?

65. Jetta Girl you're a moron if you think Eminem and his guys don't care about beating people down in front of witnesses. He already has a record and no doubt so do most of them. You really think he/they would risk their freedom and a huge civil lawsuit over some stunt on MTV? No doubt about it you're an idiot.

66. Those of you who know this was not staged on Em's part are correct. He and his body guards did not do any violence because if they had it could have back fired and they could have really hurt this "man" or other's in the audiance and Em was on national TV and would have had a law suite that would break him financially and even give him jail time. The rapper was also as I heard clean and sober therefore thinking clearly (than goodness for that for his sake). All I can say now folks is Em's career as a rapper is over. He will never get any respect as a rapper now. Folks just now started to even feel him and they are not feelin him enough to bare this stuff. He has to come out and somehow really really redeame himself and the only way to do that is to beat the crap out this dude at the VERY least. He has to be cool about it. He has to plan it. He has to get a real good lawyer and find out what is the best way to do it without doing jail time. All I know is this f-a-g- has ruined this man's (career) life. I wish I could kick his but for him.

67.
The whole think was so funny. I couldn't stop laughing. I am still can't.
I got surprised when I learned that EMINEN was involved in the gag.
Good one guys!

68. Eminem is trying to save face. Insiders say he did not expect the full butt in face. He knows he will be perceived as a douch bag for acting as he did so he's claiming it was all staged. Online: "Eminem says when he left the show, he went back to his hotel and laughed for three hours, including as he watched the playback" Seems pretty over the top to say he laughed for 3 hours don't you think? They cut a deal together to save his PR.

70. wow a boner really how stupid are you to dis on someone that is living way better then you who cares how he gets there I thought it was funny, and its good to know Eminem has a good sense of humor, likes to entertain his fans just like everyone else in the biz.

71. I just don't believe he knew a man with a bare ass would be putting his nuts in his face. Uhm...what straight guy says yes to that? Then again...what rapper says no to MTV and lives not to regret it?

I hope all the "beat down" and "bust a cap" comments are from people under 18. In the real world you do not beat down a performer at the MTV Awards with millions around the world watching, that's how you lose fans. I'm amazed that people still believe that these "rap personas" are the real person...GROW UP! (Look at Rick Ross) As long as Em has a dope ass flow his fans will buy his music. I'm not a HUGE fan of rap but Em is a talented man...who just happened to get some nuts near his mouth...And who among us hasn't? LOL
