SACHA BARON COHEN CRASHED THE BAYWATCH SET AND KELLY KEPT HER COOL

Sacha Baron Cohen will show up anywhere there happens to be a camera in order to promote his new movie The Brothers Grimsby. He always appears in character – this time it’s a sports goon named Nobby – for months before his films are released, like he did for Borat. Today he turned up on the Baywatch set in Miami and Zac Efron and The Rock showed him around and introduced him to Kelly Rohrbach. She insisted it was too cold to take off her robe and pose with Nobby in her red swimsuit.

A NO-PANTS PREMIER FOR SACHA BARON COHEN

It can’t be easy being married to Sacha Baron Cohen, but his adorable wife Isla Fisher has learned how to live with his assortment of appalling characters. In fact she insists that being married to Sacha is like winning the lottery! It helps that she’s a comic actress herself. Isla dressed UP for the premier of Sacha’s new film The Brothers Grimsby in London, but Sacha left their hotel in character, wearing a bathrobe. When he got to the red carpet he shed the robe and wore only his t-shirt, underpants and black socks. And that HAIRCUT.

SACHA BARON COHEN IS BACK – IN ACTION!

When Sacha Baron Cohen released his new film The Brothers Grimsby in London, he joked that he cast two black actors in the movie because he has “no desire to win an Oscar.” The movie is about a dimwitted football hooligan, (Cohen) who discovers his long-lost brother (Mark Strong) happens to be a highly successful secret agent. Circumstance force the brothers to join forces in a twisted action-adventure. Cohen’s hapless small-town character lives with Rebel Wilson and they have 11 children. Sounds like fun to us!

PICTURE THIS: ALI G INTERVIEWING DONALD TRUMP!

Sacha Baron Cohen was snapped arriving for his appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel show tonight and we couldn’t help but notice a faint resemblance (glasses and cap) to his first hilarious character Ali G. Maybe, just maybe, Sacha intends to revive that dumb hip hop character on British TV who “interviewed” and fooled so many serious politicians a few years ago. The politicians squirmed and tried desperately to be socially correct and polite despite Ali’s outrageous comments. How great would it be to have Ali G interview Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders!!!

THERE’S MORE TO SACHA BARON COHEN THAN JUST A SENSE OF HUMOR

Let’s not overlook the fact that Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) and his wife Isla Fisher have donated a million dollars to help Syrian refugees. He ONLY allowed the charity to publicize that fact because it might stimulate others to donate. And they are right. We have YET to hear about any OTHER celebrities who have donated to the cause. Now maybe some others will think about contributing. The Cohens have three young kids and much of the donated money will be used to help the Syrian children.

DID SACHA BARON COHEN GET HIS WISH?

Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen’s wife Isla Fisher just gave birth to their third child today and so far they’re keeping the baby’s gender a secret! They have two daughters, Olive, 7, and Elula, 4, and were hoping for a little boy this time. We have a feeling it’s another girl or they’d be shouting it from the rooftops, but you never know – these two can be very secretive.

SACHA BARON COHEN WILL ROCK YOU!

freddie-yellow-jack#20cutF

It may take time, but Sacha Baron Cohen gets what he wants. A movie biography of Queen has been bouncing around for eight years with assorted famous names attached to play Freddie Mercury. Two years ago Sacha Baron Cohen walked out of negotiations because he and surviving Queen band members Brian May and Roger Taylor didn’t see eye to eye. Brian thought Sacha would bring too much humor to a serious role. The movie was in limbo until Cohen made a triumphant return – and he is not only starring as the spandex clad Freddie, he is producing, writing, and directing the film! What could have been a rather ordinary rock movie suddenly is loaded with potential.

FREDDIE MERCURY’S LIFE WASN’T ALL RAINBOWS AND KITTENS

SO disappointed to hear that Sacha Baron Cohen won’t be playing Freddie Mercury in the movie of the Queen singer’s life. Cohen wanted to be very involved in the script writing and suggested his preferred directors. Which was fine with producers (including Robert DeNiro) except he wanted Freddie’s story to be realistic and gritty. Mercury had a girlfriend named Mary Austin for six years before he realized he was gay. Freddie claimed to have a wild but lonely life and he was shy – nothing like his outgoing stage persona. When he died of AIDS in 1991, he left his home and most of his money to his longtime friend Mary. It’s a fascinating but sad story – the remaining Queen bandmembers didn’t want Freddie presented that way. They picture a light musical story mostly about the band. (Like Mamma Mia, for heavens sake?) THAT’s why Sacha split and the movie is up in the air.(Don’t you love this vintage photo of Freddie and Michael Jackson? What do you suppose they were talking about?)

BORAT STYLE HOLLYWOOD PRANK FOOLED ACTRESSES

Borat started it all. Recently a casting call in LA was posted on the Actors Access website for young actresses to audition for a role in a feature film called “May The Best Man Win.” Dozens of earnest young women showed up for the audition and were horrified by what they were asked to do. Some of the women were asked to perform in blackface, and others, to impersonate Adolf Hitler and shout Nazi propaganda. It was a moral dilemma. What they didn’t realize is that it was a prank casting session inspired by Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat movie. One of the producers of Borat is involved. According to the LA Times, the girls were being pranked for the $800,000 low budget comedy “May The Best Man Win” about two guys who try to outdo each other with wild stunts. Hoping for a film role, the girls were disappointed, but many opted to sign a release for a $50 cash payment. Producers didn’t apologize – they said other pranks in the movie are MUCH worse.

YOU’LL NEVER GUESS WHO THE HIGHEST PAID ENGLISH ACTOR IN HOLLYWOOD IS!

Nope, it’s not “Lincoln” star Daniel Day-Lewis, OR “Twilight” heartthrob Rob Pattinson- the top earner is Sacha Baron Cohen. Last year the Borat star raked in 33 million dollars – and he out-earned Brad Pitt and Tom Hanks. Above, he was last seen in Les Miserables with Helena Bonham Carter.
