Pulling out all of the stunts, Sacha Baron Cohen tossed on a bull costume during a photocall for his new film, “Bruno,” at Las Ventas bullring in Madrid, Spain on Thursday (June 18).

Arriving to the day’s press duties in a horse-drawn carriage, Cohen was then escorted by a few burly matadors as he greeted the Spanish onlookers.


Back in his native UK environment. Cohen was spotted premiering his new raunchy comedy “Bruno” in London, England today (June 17).

The “Borat” funnyman donned a scandalously altered Royal Guard uniform with cut-off sleeves and super short/tight black leather shorts as he greeted the fans and paparazzi outside the Empire Leicester Square.

Also in the house was Cohen’s super-hot babymama Isla Fisher who gave the boys plenty to drool over in her strapless grey dress with matching heels.

Promising to be even racier than “Borat,” “Bruno” will be heading Stateside next month, with the official release date of July 10th.



This is sad! A boy tried to give the sexy Megan Fox a rose and she ignored him! Just look at his face, he looks so heart broken. He is no Shia LeBouf ha.





This time the winning cause were the aid refugees in Pakistan. The Jolie-Pitt Foundation has pledged $1 million to aid refugees in Pakistan, where continued violence in neighboring Afghanistan and the resurgence of the Taliban have driven millions of people in the region from their homes. Last week the Brad Pitt family donated $1 million to establish an endowment fund to pay cancer specialists at St. John's.

Jolie will talk about her work in aiding refugees Thursday when she and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton celebrate World Refugee Day in Washington D.C.

I'm happy that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie live by my motto, "if you have it, give it."

New Heavy Metal Movie

Directors James Cameron ("Terminator," "Aliens," "Avatar"), David Fincher ("Alien3," "Fight Club," "Zodiac," "Benjamin Button"), Zack Snyder ("Dawn of the Dead," "300," "Watchmen") and Gore Verbinski ("The Ring," the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy) have all signed on to create segments for a new “Heavy Metal” movie, and that the “Kung Fu Panda” team of Mark Osborne and Jack Black will contribute a segment as well.

This is incredible. “An amazing amount of talent,” is probably the only way I’d know how to describe that group of directors. Scoring James Cameron not only as an Executive Producer, but also as a director for one of the segments is a major win. Although, considering the subject matter, I could see how Cameron’s love of science fiction solidified his involvement.

I think I’m on cloud nine right now!

WTF TIME WARNER

Hey folks, Todd here. I'm pissed. After watching the TWILIGHT MOVIE AWARDS on MTV - I decided to try and watch some Blu Rays. It seems that Lionsgate and MGM/FOX's Blu-Rays on films in the last 2 weeks have decided not to be compatible with my Blu Ray player. Joy. All the other companies' Blu-Rays play wonderfully, but something new in the mastering process is fucked and this is probably going to require me to get a new player... again. Joy. Even though until the last month, it has faithfully played every single Blu Ray disc I've gotten.

So then, I decide... ok, let's see what's on HD Cable. My Cable provider is TIME WARNER Mineapolis. And as I'm going through the movie channels - my continual disappointment at a lack of good movies on HBO, CINEMAX and SHOWTIME aggravates me. So I skip past to where my favorite channel USED to reside... HD MOVIES. That channel has the best titles available online, uninterrupted - at least until the glorious day that TCM HD becomes a reality.

Turns out - TIME WARNER Minneapolis has decided to DICK its loyal customers around by not renewing Mark Cuban's HD NET and HD MOVIES. I've been a customer for about 12 years now. I've put up with their outtages as just a tech issue, but these sorts of problems really tick me off. Last year I had to deal with them shafting us with NBC for way too long. It really just is too much.

I really hope all of you locals affected call and give Time Warner a piece of your mind. I have - and will again!

New Season of Heroes

With “Heroes” already hiring new actors for its fourth season, I thought I’d check in with the show’s best writer, Bryan Fuller, to see:

a) if he was promoted to showrunner, as many were hoping, or

b) if he had left “Heroes” entirely, as rumored, to join a new NBC Universal show (like, say, “Day One” or “Caprica”).

It turns out he’s continuing with the fourth season of “Heroes” as a consultant, the position he held in the first and third seasons as well. In addition, he relays, “I'm developing a couple of TV shows to pitch to [NBC Universal, where Fuller is under contract for the next year and a half] in the next month.”

Four already cast for season four:

* Ray Park (“The Phantom Menace,” “X-Men”), who may play a knife thrower with superpowers.

* Deannne Bray (“The L Word”), who may play a deaf girl with superpowers.

* Clearmalt heiress Madeline Zima (“Californication”), who may play Claire’s college roommate with superpowers.

* Robert Knepper (“Prison Break”), who may play a bad guy with superpowers.
