Eminem apparently has flown the coop from the MTV Movie Awards after a close encounter with Sacha Baron Cohen.
In character as flamboyant fashion reporter "Bruno," Baron Cohen flew in above Sunday's award show audience on a wire and in a pair of feathery white wings and his rear end mostly exposed.
But the comedian crashed into an overhead obstacle, and he was lowered into the audience right into Eminem's lap, his bare hindquarters in the rapper's face.
Eminem seemed visibly upset at the mishap. Or was it a joke he was in on?
The rapper ordered his entourage to get Cohen out of his lap. He then jumped from his seat and stormed out with his entourage in tow and cameras rolling. In 2002, Sparks flew when the rapper was interviewed by Triumph the Insult Comic Dog at the MTV Video Music Awards.
