Eminem Storms Out Of MTV Awards Following Bruno Stunt

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.

IT WAS PLANNED BY BRUNO'S TEAM AND NOT EM'S. THIS WAS IN BAD TASTE ON MTV'S PART AND VERY DISRESPECTFUL ON BRUNO'S PART. TRUE EM HAS MOUTHED OFF ABOUT HOMSEXUALITY,HOWEVER,HE HAS NEVER PHYSICALLY DONE ANY HARM TO ANYONE. THIS WAS SEXUAL HARRASSMENT AND AGAINST THE LAW. I NO LONGER APPROVE OF GAY RELATIONS, BUT THIS IS WHAT CAUSES GAY BASHING (WHICH IS NOT RIGHT). IT MAKES THE GAY COMMUNITY LOOK BAD. EVERYONE SHOULD RESPECT EACH OTHER. LET'S AGREE TO DISAGREE,BUT WE SHOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO HUMILIATE ANYONE. NOONE IS BETTER THAN SOMEONE ELSE. EM'S WRONG FOR GAY BASHNG;BRUNO FOR THAT NASTY STUNT;MTV FOR ALLOWING IT. LIKE SOMEONE SAID, CHILDREN WATCH THIS SHOW.

I think it was "set up" by MTV...they knew exactly where Em was sitting,funny how quickly they lowered Sacha,and why would they lower him that close to the crowd...however,I don't think Em was in on it..he was visibly upset. I don't think that he would sign on for having some guy's nuts & ass in his face.VERY DISRESPECTFUL!!!

How does one not see a grown man descending from the ceiling with his butt aimed at your face? This had to be a publicity stunt. Both of these men are into wild crazy flamboyant stunts. Realize, how it wasn't done to Dre or Snoop? It goes with their crazy acts/stunts. Some of these posts are the stupidest observations I've ever heard. The gay community and FCC bs...are you kidding me. If you don't have a brain don't comment. You sound like idiots because you are idiots. This was strictly an entertainment stunt and a comical one at that. Sorry if I don't aim my comment directly to Em..like some of the above comments but I highly doubt he will read these and highly doubt he would give a fu*k!!
