Sacha Baron Cohen And Isla Fisher Rescue A Lost Pup
Sacha Baron Cohen is incredibly funny, but who knew he and Isla Fisher were so kind, too? Jennifer Tapiero's Maltese-Chihuahua mix went missing when some construction workers left a door open on her property. Then her uncle, whose phone number was on the dog's tag, received a phone call later that afternoon from a "British-sounding man," according to E! Online's Marc Malkin.
The man said he had found the puppy wandering along Laurel Canyon, a very busy street, and he saw cars swerving to avoid hitting it. He made plans to meet up with Jennifer and her uncle to return the dog. By way of description, the man said:
"I'm very tall and my fiancée is really tiny. You can't miss us."
It was only when Jennifer and her uncle got there that they realized it was Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher.
Can you imagine?

Sacha Baron Cohen Attends Bruno Premiere In Australia
Sacha Baron Cohen (dressed as Bruno) attended the Australian premiere of 'Bruno' held at the State Theatre in Sydney. Sacha's look resembled that of a sexy gladiator, or R2-D2. LOL! I can't stand it!!
Sacha even joked on having a relationship with the Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, whom he met on a Aussie talk show the night before. The actor told press at the premiere
“The reason I’m late is I just had breakfast in bed with Kevin Rudd. That guy is like, uber cute. I thought Obama was, like, the hottest guy in the world until I met Kevin.”
Sacha is quite the funny guy! Anyone excited for the theatrical release of 'Bruno' next week?

Sacha Baron Cohen At The Premiere of 'Bruno'
Sacha Baron Cohen donned tight leather shorts and a bearskin hat for the UK premiere of 'Bruno' last night.
The outrageous comedian marched into London’s Leicester Square with a troupe of 20 scantily-clad male dancers dressed as members of the Queen's Guard while Gloria Gaynor's 'I Will Survive' blasted from speakers.
After an hour of prancing and posing, Sacha – who plays gay Austrian fashion reporter Bruno in the mockumentary – addressed the crowd from a white podium, poking fun at action star Arnold Schwarzenegger and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
In a thick and flamboyant Austrian accent, he said:
“I’m hoping this will be the biggest movie starring a gay Austrian since 'Terminator 2'. Talking of politicians, Gordon Brown… I mean, what is she all about?
"She is the gayest guy I have ever seen. Gordon, love, you need to take off those high heels and come out of that closet one of these days.”
The 37-year-old comic star also teased pop star Madonna and supermodel Naomi Campbell, saying:
“To anyone out there considering adopting a black baby like Madonna, don’t. They’ve been in fashion but they are about to be out. I’m going to put mine on eBay.
"And Naomi. It is wonderful that after 20 years of fame in this business she has remained a total b***h.”
I'm such a prude... and will leave it at that.
Sacha Baron Cohen Sued By Richelle Olson
Oh no! A comedic stunt that Sacha Baron Cohen pulled in 2007 at a bingo hall has left a woman wheelchair bound and "crippled".
Richelle Olson is suing NBC Universal and Sacha for the joke gone bad.
Olson alleges Bruno used "vulgar and offensive language" and when she tried taking the mic from him, a "physical struggle ensued" and Cohen "offensively touched, pushed and battered" her, causing her to fall to the ground.
She then claims three cameramen and others rushed the stage ... "where defendants attacked [her] for a period of one to five minutes to intentionally create a dramatic emotional response ... while [they] recorded her humiliation and embarrassment."After the alleged assault was over, the suit says Olson went into another room where she was "sobbing uncontrollably" ... then was rendered unconscious ... "falling forward onto the thinly covered concrete slab, passing out and causing her to hit her head."
This is just terrible!!!
Olson was then rushed to the hospital with a "diagnosis of two brain bleeds" and has been confined to a wheelchair and walker ever since.
No word on how much the parites are suing for.

Sacha Baron Cohen Burned Himself Trying To Bleach His Hair
Silly Borat!!!
Sacha Baron Cohen is willing to do whatever it takes to fully immerse himself in a role, even if that means bleaching his hair. He was doing just that, but unfortunately the process took a wrong turn somewhere along the way.
"Sacha is committed to as much realism as he can muster in his films. He'd heard that all-over hairlessness is a popular trend in the gay community, so he thought he'd bleach all his hair so it looked invisible.
But it quickly turned into a disaster. Shortly after having the procedure done he felt a burning sensation and it grew steadily worse. He had a bad allergic reaction to hydrogen peroxide, which is a strong bleaching agent. It was so severe around a certain part of his anatomy that
he couldn't sit down for three days."
Filming ended up being delayed for more than week!!!
He had to make an emergency appointment with the doctors, who gave him some medication to counter the irritation.
Crew members found the whole incident hilarious and it slowed down filming for a bit, but Sacha soon got over the discomfort. He has suffered no long-lasting ill effects."
HAHA, I wonder what Isla Fisher thought about the whole thing!!

Paula Abdul Was A Bruno Victim
Perhaps "victim" is a harsh word for the people who are tricked by Sacha Baron Cohen when he's interviewing them as his alter-ego, Bruno, but 'American Idol' judge Paula Abdul seemed to feel traumatized. At least a little.
It is the most interesting, whacked-out situation that happened to me.
I was scarred for life for a year. A year ago, my publicist said I'd
won 'Artist of the Year' in Germany. And I said, 'Really? That's
interesting. Okay ...'And [Bruno] says, 'Sorry there's no furniture.' And he snaps his
fingers and says 'Gardeners!' And these two Mexican guys come in, and
they drop down to all fours... They
drop down to all fours and he says [to me], 'Sit down.' And I said, 'I'm not doing that.'And I'm in a dress, so I'm tipping and holding my core
muscles to not sit on them. And he pushes me down on them, and I'm
like, 'I'm sorry. And these two gardeners ... Mexican gardeners don't
speak a word of English, and I'm like patting them and I'm like, 'I'm
so sorry.' And he kicked one of them, and we all fall."
This is an abbreviated version of Paula's experience, but you can read the whole thing here.
Question: if you went to an interview and were told to sit on people, would you do it? I know the immediate response is "no," but think about it. Would you?
