Eminem shows his face after MTV’s staged publicity stunt fell flat
Rapper Eminem is looking like the biggest fool in Hip Hop right now — not because the world’s unfunniest comedian (Sascha “Bruno” Baron) teabagged him on national TV on the MTV Movie Awards Sunday night — but because Eminem was in on it!
Em showed up last night at the grand opening of his friend Travis Barker’s store Fast Life located in L.A. He also performed live with that other has-been Jay Z during the launch of “DJ Hero” event at the Wiltern in L.A. last night.
TV Guide pretty much confirmed all speculation that Eminem’s MTV stunt was pre-arranged:
While Em remained tight-lipped about the incident last night, speculation continues to grow. TV Guide claims they’re “certain” that the Eminem-Bruno stunt was prearranged. “There’s no way it was an accident,” an industry insider who was seated a few rows in front of Eminem says. “You don’t let two stars collide without a detailed plan.”
TV Guide adds that Eminem’s outburst was all an act. “Everyone was laughing about it during the next break,” says our source, “especially the MTV staffers.” Source via FY
The stunt worked perfectly only because Eminem was a willing participant. There is no other way MTV could have pulled that stunt off without his full cooperation. If it had been any other man, there would have been shots fired and bloodshed.

Did it really fall flat when you’re talking about it? Isn’t that the point of publicity?
And if you heard any Eminem album, you’ll know sh*t like this is right up his alley.
i dont think em really cares! he’ll just make a song and poke fun at himself to sell another 600k copies in a week! this white dude cant go wrong.
@ coo coo….i was about to say the same thing…they got folks talking about it so it must didn’t fall too flat!
Why does he always look scared and lost?
I finally saw the clip and I think Em was in on it. The landing was to perfect and since when do people sit at award shows with their bodyguards? He knew.
What real dude prearranges teabaggin?
Hey fam,
That’s what I want to know Yvonne! But I don’t think it fell flat because everyone’s still talking about it.
Im with Yvonne…and Em is a notorious homophobe.
I hope is was real bc I cannot stand Em.
Hey kcicero! How are you feeling?
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE, AND that is an understatement, I am never, EVER, having another kid again, lol. I still have morning sickness, had my first trip to the ER already and I’m only 13 weeks…Whoo lawd this is going to be a looooong year.
Oh and my two going on twenty year old has slapped me thrice(three time was the charm before she got popped back, learned the word sh*t, and uses it at her own discretion, pulls her brothers hair, and opens child proof medication at will. If you see her on ebay look the other way. Thank god I have one angel, lol.
What’s new with you?
@ KC sandra was asking about those instructions you posted back when.
I don’t think Em is a homophob. I thought he cleared that up a few years back and did something with Elton John.
Good morning!!!
Em is a disgrace to hiphop!
Hey! KC!!!
Darn, I guess I should have saved them and I don’t even remember when I posted them or what month it was in…

If it had been any other man, there would have been shots fired and bloodshed.
