THE ADVOCATE WASN’T THRILLED BY BRUNO, BUT WE WERE

It was quite a surprise to see that The Advocate gave a better review to “I Love You Beth Cooper” than it gave to “Bruno.” Does that mean the gay community doesn’t embrace “Bruno?” It would be a shame because “Bruno” IS the funniest scream-out-loud movie since “Borat.” Sacha Baron Cohen makes fun of EVERYONE and reactions to his outrageous character are priceless. We are still amazed that those Deliverance-type hunters even KNEW what “Sex & The City” was. Sacha is a brave man.

Sacha Baron Cohen walked INTO the Letterman show in New York looking like his normal dashing self, but he walked OUT afterward in full “Bruno” drag. Apparently he gave himself a radical “gay” makeover in the dressing room. This is the first time we’ve seen him NOT dressed like Bruno in quite awhile. It must be a relief for his fiance Isla Fisher. (We can hardly WAIT to see the movie.)

Another day, another “Bruno” premier. Sacha Baron Cohen obviously has planned an appropriately costumed stunt for the movie’s opening in every major city. First is was the Buckingham Place guards at the UK premier. Above, he was in Madrid, in anatomically correct bull drag, surrounded by sexy matadors. We love his showmanship. What’s he got in store for the USA?

Sacha Baron Cohen went all out and led a scantily clad all-male group dressed as Buckingham Palace guards to the London premier of his movie “Bruno.” His fiancee Isla Fisher discreetly arrived separately, dressed fashionably, and avoided the hi-jinks. Cohen goes to great extremes to publicize his films and they more than live up to the hype. ” Bruno” is getting rave reviews in Europe.

BRUNO MIXES IT UP WITH PROP 8 DEMONSTRATORS

Makes sense that Sacha Baron Cohen would show up for a YES on proposition 8 rally downtown at the LA courthouse. (This is the unpopular LA proposition AGAINST gay marriage.) NO on 8 supporters were hotly demonstrating also. Cohen’s current movie character is Bruno the gay Austrian journalist, so it was the ideal event for him. Naturally Bruno (dressed like a yuppie) was on the WRONG side, and got everyone on both sides of the proposition agitated and confused. When TV cameras recognized him, Bruno made a run for it with his signs and drove off in a hurry.

BRUNO'S CATWALK DEBUT

Bruno strikes again! Our favorite comic Sacha Baron Cohen has been in Milan for fashion week attempting to stir up trouble. Dsquared got wind of his plans and managed to keep him OUT of their runway show. But a lesser known fashion line, Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, fell for his crew’s fake passes and allowed him backstage. Sacha was disguised as Bruno the gay fashionista (note the sideswept bangs and lip gloss,) and he burst onto the runway during the big show wearing a suit covered in velcro. Clothing, fabric and other objects were dangling from the velcro. He was promptly yanked off the runway and hustled to the police station. Presumably his crew got it all on film and we’ll see it in his next movie titled “Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of making Heterosexual Male.”

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.

FIRST LOOK AT SACHA BARON COHEN'S REVISED CHARACTER BRUNO

Bruno is back with a whole new look! Sacha Baron Cohen has no choice but to metamorphosize his gay character because everybody’s catching on to his game. The faux-hawk haircut is gone – now he has more of a Zac Efron style. Sacha’s movie Borat was such a hit that it’s not so easy to find gullible people that don’t recognize his shenanigans. No doubt the new California law allowing gay marriage got Bruno activated in LA.

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.
