The Alabama Military Academy is embarrassed because Sasha Baron Cohen managed to pull the wool over their hospitable eyes. Cohen convinced officials at the academy that he was making a German documentary about what it was like to be in Officer Candidate School. They toured “Bruno” around the post, gave him a uniform to wear, and allowed him to join the trainees. The THONG he revealed when changing clothes should have tipped someone off, but it didn’t! Finally a cadet recognized the movie star and alerted older officers who’d never heard of him. He was 86′d, but Sasha managed to walk away with some footage.

Isla Fisher brought her lookalike10 month old Borat baby, Olive, to a Beverly Hills park for some playtime. Olive’s daddy Sacha Baron Cohen is all over the place filming segments for his new movie character Bruno the gay German journalist. He was last seen in Jerusalem where he tricked an Israeli analyist into an interview in which Bruno impudently compared the Mideast conflict with the tension between Brad Pitt’s exwife and current partner.

WE CAN HARDLY WAIT TO SEE BRUNO ON THE BIG SCREEN

Sacha Baron Cohen KNOWS it will be hard to fool Americans with his Bruno character – the outrageously gay Austrian fashion expert, since His Borat movie was such a hit. He had hoped to infiltrate fashion week in New York, but quickly realized too many people there know who he is. By necessity, supergay Bruno has evolved into more than just a fashion commentator. Bruno set up auditions in Sherman Oaks for children to appear in a “lucrative German car commercial.” Loads of parents and kids showed up. He got some priceless material asking eager stage parents questions like ” Would you allow your child to be filmed with ants or wasps?” Some of them were NOT frightened off by his swishy shocking demeanor. Next he donned his hotpants to do some kissing and gyrating in the Witchita, Kansas airport. Against all odds, it looks like Sacha is managing to overcome his fame and film a Bruno movie.

SACHA BARON COHEN: FROM BORAT TO ABBIE HOFFMAN

Apparently Bruno the fashionista is on the back burner for Sacha Baron Cohen now that he’s signed to play counter-culture activist Abbie Hoffman in Steven Spielberg’s “The Trial of the Chicago Seven.” The Borat creator actually has a lot in common with Hoffman. Abbie was known for his “guerilla theater” tactics in which he drummed up publicity for his causes by being funny – not violent. He knew how to use the media – once he got publicity for bursting into the headquarters of Con Edison, throwing soot in the air and on employees clothing. He said it was more effective than signing petitions for cleaner air. Abbie insisted that laughter is a better learning tool than serious speeches and from what we saw of Borat – Cohen agrees. By the way, Sacha will be taking home a six million dollar paycheck. Hooray for capitalism.

Here’s a face you don’t see around Hollywood a lot – at least since Ken Davitian costarred in Borat. Since his 2006 movie with Sacha Baron Cohen, Ken has had roles in at least seven upcoming movies (including Get Smart) so obviously that nude wrestling scene gave his career a jolt. When he’s not acting, you can find Ken at his restaurant The Dip in the Hollywood & Highland complex. Our friend ate one of his French dip sandwiches and said it was really delicious.

STAND BACK! ISLA FISHER LOOKS READY TO EXPLODE!

Sasha Baron Cohen’s fiancee Isla Fisher is SO pregnant it almost scares us to look at her. She’s eight and a half months along and Isla looks like she’s having triplets. The happy couple shopped and gassed up in Beverly Hills but they went home early when Isla got tired. Cohen’s facial hair makes us wonder what character he’ll be serving up next. Since EVERYBODY seems to be familiar with Borat, he’ll have to take a rest. No word on when they plan to marry.
