Eminem “Laughed Uncontrollably” After Bruno Stunt
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, MTV, Gossip,
If there’s anything we’ve learned from this weekend, it’s this: Eminem’s performance in 8 Mile was no fluke. The rapper’s also a very good actor.
Three days after getting butt-to-face time with Bruno (a.k.a. Sacha Baron Cohen), the man who was held hostage in his chair finally speaks out.
In an interview with Rap Radar, Slim Shady says he couldn’t have been more pleased with how the planned stunt played out. “I’m thrilled that we pulled this off better than we rehearsed it. It had so many people going ‘nuts’ so to speak. Everyone was blowing me up about it,” he said.

Paris Hilton Premieres Potential BFFs
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, MTV, Gossip,
It’s summer, and that can only mean one thing: Paris Hilton is hot to trot after a new crop of hero-worshiping reality contestants, all anxious to be her BFF…for one season, at least. Paris Hilton’s My New BFF has been renewed by MTV for a third season. This means, at least, that Paris won’t have to tolerate the winner of the show for very long.
But at the show’s Season 2 premiere, the winning contestant remains a far-away decision. First, it’s time to meet this group of Paris Hilton-loving hopefuls.

Confirmed: MTV’s Bruno Encounter with Eminem was Staged
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Cable, MTV, Gossip,
UPDATE: You can read Eminem’s reaction to the planned stunt here.
This might explain why MTV still has Eminem’s face cemented to their home page.
Even though an official confirmation has not been offered from either the rapper or the network, a behind-the-scenes source from the MTV Movie Awards has now addressed yesterday’s most talked-about moment. According to Scott Aukerman, Andy Samberg’s head writer, Sacha Baron Cohen’s cheeky encounter with Slim Shady was no accident.
“Yes, the Eminem-Bruno incident was staged. They rehearsed it at dress [rehearsal] and yes, it went as far as it did on the live show,” Scott wrote in his blog.
That clarification doesn’t make the situation any less gross…but it does make it that much funnier.

Paris Hilton’s BFF Chase Renewed
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, MTV, Features, Renewals,
“This season I made it like a sorority, the Paris sorority,” said Paris Hilton of the second season of her MTV show, Paris Hilton’s My New BFF, which premieres tomorrow. Though the heiress found a friend in Season 1 winner Brittany Flinkinger, and subsequently in the UK version of the show, she’s apparently still on the hunt.
Lil’ Kim, Kathy Griffin and a handful of Paris Hilton’s celebrity pals will make guest appearances on the show, which will renew her quest to find a pal among a dozen or more male and female contenders. Last season, Paris’s quest began with makeovers, challenges and very quick eliminations.

Samberg Spoofs Slumdog and Twilight in MTV Movie Awards Open
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Cable, MTV, Video,
If you’re anything like me, the MTV Movie Awards is painful waste of your time. The ceremony is only a step above the People’s Choice Awards (thanks to the caliber of celebrities), but equally as credible.
That said, Andy Samberg’s performance - and Bruno’s encounter with Eminem - made this year’s broadcast slightly easier to swallow. After watching him spoof several of the year’s most popular films (Twilight, Star Trek, Slumdog Millionaire, The Reader), check out Andy’s musical commentary on explosions after the jump.

VIDEO: Bruno Forces Eminem to Leave the 2009 MTV Movie Awards

UPDATE: You can read Eminem’s reaction to the planned stunt here.
What’s the best way to get on Eminem’s bad side? Well - if you’re Bruno, just get your naked rear in his face.
During tonight’s broadcast of the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, actor Sacha Baron Cohen (promoting his movie about an Austrian fashionista) flew in from the rafters on on a high note…then descended toward the rapper’s low note. Needless to say, this prompted the musician and his crew to leave in disgust.

Medium Moves to CBS
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, CBS, MTV, Medium, Cancellations, Renewals,
The showrunners at Medium are feeling quite large today.
One day after receiving a cancellation notice, the cast and crew of the NBC series were given a reprieve. The Patricia Arquette vehicle will now be heading over to CBS.
Being booted by the Peacock might have actually been the best thing for the show. Medium will now get a plum spot right after Ghost Whisperer on Fridays. Although that position is currently occupied by Flashpoint, the police drama is expected to return sometime midseason.
