13/07/08 - Bruno strikes again: Cohen stages cage fight - crowd gets caged homosexuals!
An Arkensas crowd arrived at the Fort Smith Convention centre expecting an evening of 'blue collar brawling', hot chicks and cold beer. However what they got was two men stripping down to their underwear, kissing and "rubbing one another", according to local police.Organisers of the event had invited police to attend and tipped them off that a character named "Straight Dave" would goad a planted audience member into the ring for a fight, only to end up in a "romantic embrace".
"They said it was to essentially poke fun at wrestling - two guys rolling around on the floor, all sweaty," said Fort Smith police sergeant Adam Holland. The officers thought they were in on the joke, but were not prepared for what followed. It took police 45 minutes to clear the venue as the crowd went crazy throwing beer and chairs at main stage. The two actors had to escape through a pre organised side door as the crowd became increasingly enraged. Cohen and the team had again made all audience members sign a waiver before the event and displayed numerous signs saying the event and audience may be filmed. "
Dwight Duncan, president and CEO of Four States Fair Grounds in Texarkana said "We had a contract for cage fighting. We were deceived".

08/07/08 - Bruno Dupes Ex-Mossad Agent; and we learn why he will not eat Hummus
Ex Mossad Agent Yossi Alpher (pictured left) and Palestinian Ghassam Khalib were interviewed by Bruno in Jerusalem, Israel where Sacha Baron Cohen has been filming recently for the forthcoming Bruno movie. Alpher was contacted by Sacha Baron Cohen's agents and was asked to be interviewed by a German Rockstar to explain the Israel-Palestinian conflict to the youth of the world.
In true Bruno style - Sacha asked;
"Vat's zee connection between a political movement and food? Vy hummus?" Yesterday I had to throw away my pita bread because it vas dripping hummus. Unt it's too high in carbohydrates"
and stated;
"Your conflict is not so bad. Jennifer-Angelina is worse"
By this stage Alpher and Khalib had suspicions that the interview was some kind of joke. Alpher was reported saying after the interview that "they played it straight and square... We smiled at the idiotic questions and answered them patiently... We knew something ludicrous was happening but couldn't quite figure it out."
For the grand finale, Bruno joined hands with the interviewees and recited ‘a mind-boggling song about the epic Middle East conflict between 'Jews and Hindus.'
Only after the interview did Alpher realise he had been hoaxed by Sacha Baron Cohen, however a release form had been signed and a fee received for the interview, and so any legal action is highly unlikely.
Alpher accused Baron Cohen of "exploiting our tragic and painful conflict in the most cynical and deceptive manner" but admitted: "The end product will undoubtedly be hilarious. We'll try to be good sports about it."

09/02/07 - 20th Century Fox deny Bruno movie is definite.
Chris Petrikin from Fox has announced that although they have been in 'casual discussions' with Sacha Baron Cohen about a Borat follow up movie he said "at this point it remains too preliminary to discuss".This statement appears to be a complete contradiction to the statement made by network owner - Rupert Murdoch (pictured right) earlier this year who said that Sacha Baron Cohen had "signed up to do a sequel for us".

22/01/07 - Bruno Movie a nicht nicht??
Despite Sacha Cohen signing a £22.3m deal with Universal Pictures, online rumours suggest that it may not be possible to create a follow up film to Borat. Sacha Baron Cohen was reported saying to Rolling Stone magazine "the [£22.3m] figure is inaccurate, the deal is just to see if it's possible to develop the movie". Cohen is also not sure whether the film will be scripted or reality-based or whether it will feature Bruno or a different character.After the success of the Borat movie, and the brilliantly funny Bruno feature on 'Da Ali G show' critics question how popular a scripted attempt would be. It is however possible that Mr Cohen has already filmed a significant amount of Bruno footage in anticipation of a Bruno movie.
If a scripted movie was to go ahead, we should reflect back to 'Ali G in Da House', (Sacha Baron Cohen's first appearance on the big screen) which was completely scripted and proved significantly popular in the UK. So for now lets hope Sacha can work some magic, and hope that £22.3m is justified!
