He came. He saw. He stormed out. Rapper Eminem made his return to the MTV stage by way of a highly anticipated performance at the network's movie awards. The 36-year-old performed his singles 'We Made You' and 'Crack a Bottle,' alongside D12 member Bizarre. With a band behind him, Em gave a bevy of screaming fans and adoring celebrity counterparts the performance that they were all waiting for, but it's what happened after he sat back in his seat that got everyone talking.Comedic actor Sacha Baron Cohen, best known for 'Borat,' was in character as his latest flamboyant offering "Bruno." Cohen descended from the ceiling wearing small white underwear and landed in Em's lap with his private parts dangerously close to his face.
As expected, Em did not find the stunt funny. The rapper shouted "Are you serious?" before calling on his bodyguards to get Cohen off of him, then stormed out of the show muttering and cursing. It's still unclear if Em was in on the Bruno joke -- he by-passed the press tent and refused to speak to the media.
Aside from his experience at the awards show, this year has been pretty good for Em. His latest album 'Relapse' debuted atop the Billboard charts selling over 600,000 units, making it the year's best selling record. He was also named 'Artist of the Decade,' selling over 31 million albums since his 1999, an accomplishment that put him above fellow rappers Jay-Z and Nelly.

What's up Samat 6-02-2009
Yep... funny. Obviously it was set up. HELLO???? Eminem most likely knew it was gonna happen. It was all set up for a big media hype. So.... yes.. it was funny cuz it was supposed to be. Humiliating Eminem of all people is definitely something you don't think would happen. And it did. MONEY MONEY MONEY people. Don't feel bad for EM. no need to. Just a publicity stunt. Don't get your panties in a knot

You think that was funny. You think a disgusting stunt like that is funny not ignorant.You are an idiot, Lay off the meth.

That was the MOST disrespectful crap I've seen. Kudos to Em for not killing that idiot.
Em please don't let this ruin your new sobriety and new work. Congrats on your new music. Don't let this bitch bring you down. Press charges against him as that was for sure sexual harassment. Bubba will know what to do with that ASS in jail where that fruit should go for this stunt.
Forget being politically correct. NO ONE can go around sticking their crotch in another's face or anything. Get your lawyers on him and the boyz in LA county jail will do the rest!
I think the decent gay community should sue him too as this is only going to stir up people that think all gay people are this perverted. Not a good gay move, not a good straight move, not effing funny at all!

Hi Angelika :-)at 6-01-2009
That was the best thing ever !
It couldn't have happened to a better person.
Eminem, the guy who always talks so much shit about everyone, finally got to eat someone elses shit !!
Now thats what I call divine justice !

Wow, how is that even acceptable? With all the censoring going on how was that okay to air? That was done in bad taste. It was gross, stupid, that guy was annoying, it wasn't funny. People like that give gays a bad rep.

I agree with you. MTV is the worst show on tv. Their ratings show it. I hope they get a huge fine for indecency. A lot of 10 and 12 year olds watch this garbage. Hope the FCC finally does something to these useless MTV execs, the big perverts.
