Sacha Baron Cohen's Gay Fight Night Hoax

Prankster, actor, and all-around brave guy Sacha Baron Cohen has once again angered gullible Southerners. This time it was while filming his new movie Brüno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt (title is tentative) which features Cohen's gay fashionista character prancing about the United States. The Borat star held several evenings of "Blue Collar Brawlin'" in two "cities" in Arkansas, advertising with posters like the one above. There was cage wrasslin' and $1 beer, yes, but the night ended with two male combatants kissing each other for all to see. Audience members became furious when confronted with this hideous sight, throwing beer and chairs onto the stage. Click after the jump to see the Craigslist ad that Cohen and his cohorts posted for the events. More »

Sacha Baron Cohen Plays First Gay Man To Visit Kansas

Sacha "Borat" Baron "Ali G" Cohen is working on his upcoming flick about his character "Bruno," the supergay Austrian fashion reporter. Since everyone on both coasts (except for Ben Affleck) is obviously too familiar with his work to be punked, Bruno has traveled to the heart of flyover land, Wichita, Kansas. Where he was captured on film doing supergay stuff! His act reportedly "almost looked like pornography," at least to Kansas sensibilities. After the jump, video [via Towleroad] of Bruno and his funky pants dance, which brings joy to the dreary confines of the Wichita terminal. More »

Latest by n/a: Personally, I am not offended by Gay stereotypes when they are not presented as a purely negative plot device. I see nothing here to offend my gay eyes. I look forward to laughing my panties off when I see the movie. Go Sasha, go. Demo -- more »

BORAT, ALI G BOTH DEAD

Borat Sagdiyev, the mild-mannered Kazakhstani journalist known for his investigations of America and a documentary film of the same name, as well as for the great offense that he gave the Jews, has died. Similarly, so has talk show host Ali G, an English journalist best known for his willingness to ask questions that probably should have been asked but everyone felt too stupid to do so.

Random City Resident Speaks For Many in Borat Beatdown

The UK Sun brings word of a recent altercation:
BORAT star Sacha Baron Cohen was beaten up by a passer-by after he tried to play a prank as his alter ego. He approached the man and said: "I like your clothings. Are nice! Please may I buying? I want have sex with it."But the bystander didn't see the joke. He took one look at Cohen and punched him in the face.The funnyman — known for his Borat catchphrase "Jagshemash!" — yelled for help but was slugged again and again. He was rescued by actor pal Hugh Laurie who had been on his way to a New York bar with Cohen.
Certain editors here at Gawker have been resistant to seeing the film because of its massive hype and ludicrous insistence that all press be done in character, but we would have paid full price plus the Fandango service fee to have watched this. Anonymous New Yorker, you're our new hero. More »

Stop Quoting Borat, Or We Will Never Make Sexytime To You Again

Like many of you, we saw Borat on Friday evening. We enjoyed it. We even tolerated the man behind us who insisted on imitating every Borat-ism as it appeared on-screen, if only because we, too, were sharing in hilarious communion. And after the movie, we, ourselves, admittedly participated in a few "high five!"s. We might have even said "niiiiice" one or two times. More »

Ali G

Ali G, the whiteboy wannabe gangsta who has taken over British television with his spoof interviews of public figures, lands this Friday on HBO with a US show. Ali G is actually Sacha Baron Cohen, a nice Jewish boy from North London, whom Gawker's publisher knew when he did a bad stand-up act at the House on the Hill in Hampstead. More »
