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.
