Eminem Cracks -- Admits Involvement in Taintgate

31. The look on Miss Em's face was priceless! She's trying desperately to save face but there's no way anyone, that knows the character Eminem plays, is going to believe he was in on it. This is an instant classic!

33. There's no way Eminem knew ahead of time; he's just trying to do damage control and save face.

34. Ok anyone with half a brain can see what this was all about. Eminem was in on the joke. It's called PR people! He just released Relapse and now look at all the free press he's getting!

35. I happen to be one of those that think this is eminem trying to save face. I am sure MTV crapped a brick when eminem got embaressed and his people got in touch with theirs to be sure and make it seem like the story was it was planned and eminem WANTED to have another mans butt in his face.


not buying it, seems like everyones PR trying to find a way to save face for eminem.

38. M was caught off guard during this nasty prank...

his so called brainless bodyguards were caught off guard during this nasty prank....

and MTV looked just downright NASTY setting someone up like that.

What would Clint Eastwood do if that happened to him.

Walk out and feel like a fool.

Nasty effing prank.

39. WOW!! What a great idea to boost one's career and image, - just allow yourself to be publicly T-BAGGED on live TV and laughed AT worldwide. He's done and over. All that's left for him is being the first and eternal image that flashes in everyone's brain whenever being the "butt of a joke" comes to mind. All the denial is just a transparent but half-assed try to spin the unspinnable.

40. M is the victim.

Victims don't loose face.

The victimizer looses face...

and that's MTV.

If you got robbed would you loose face?

Hell no.

You'd get even.

42. Don't really care one way or the other, but if you just happen to really pay attention you'll notice that
1) the camera was focused on Em before the t-bagging
2) EM WAS WEARING A MIC.
That's the most telling because why would any of the audience need to be strapped with a mic while just supposedly watching the show?????

43. Save face? caught off guard? how do you people explain the FACT that he showed up and rehearsed that bit. I WAS THERE. even down to the lines that sasha said, glad to meet you, dont touch me, i have a boyfriend. all that stuff was rehearsed. and rehearsed and rehearsed. it was thought that maybe it was rehearsed too much and they were worried it might not come off as spontaneous. do you people really believe MTV/Viacom would allow itself the liability of 2 multi-million dollar stars being injured without rehearsing that stunt until everyone was comfortable. i watched that rehearsal. i watched Em "storm" out and walk by me. there were about 75 people working in the gibson, camera guys, stage managers, writers, producers, security. alot of people watched it rehearse. theres not alot left to chance during these live shows. they rehearse for days. especially flying stunts. people can get hurt and they are safety conscious to the extreme. deep pockets like viacom and universal, on whose property it was filmed and the gibson theater dont like surprises like risking serious injury to any celebs. believe that. but they do like surprising you. dont be so naive people. whos career that was good or bad for remains to be seen i guess.

44. So the next question is, when will Feminem come out of the closet and admit to being gay. I don't know too many straight guys who enjoy being 69 on national TV, Butt Feminem seemed to be enjoying Bruno's nuts and a$$ in his face. perhaps next year they will do something different, like Bruno Teabagging Feminem.

45. Will the real SLIM SHADY PLEASE COME OUT! Feminem needs to stop playing games and come out of the closet, he loved having brunos nuts and a$$ in his face. I don't know any straight guys who enjoy being sixtynine on national TV, butt bruno seemed to enjoy it and so did Feminem. maybe next year bruno will TEABAG FEMINEM.
