Sacha Baron Cohen is a little rascal isn’t he? He can’t resist a prank if there’s one to be had and in Hollywood on Monday night there were pranks a plenty…
Hollywood played host to Sunday night’s Academy Awards ceremony and of course Cohen’s silliness managed to upset a few people and resulted in his ejection from the premises. The star appeared in costume holding a golden urn supposedly containing the ashes of the late Kim Jong-il, which he then proceeded to tip over the head of red carpet presenter Ryan Seacrest.
After the stunt Baron Cohen was asked to get off the red carpet but was still allowed pose for some publicity shots before leaving the event entirely. Allegedly the night’s antics were supposed to be some sort of publicity stunt for a new film he’s working on entitled THE DICTATOR. As funny as this particular gag is, Cohen’s film format is becoming fairly repetitive and after the flop that was BRUNO he might struggle to win back his initial fan base.
Sacha Baron Cohen before the event had been engaging in a war of words to some degree with the event’s organisers after they kicked up a fuss about his plan to appear in character at the awards. In response to their objections Baron Cohen called the organisers “Zionists” in an interview aired on NBC.
He sure is a cheeky little whippersnapper is that Sacha Baron Cohen…. Whatever will he do next?

In response to “Whatever will he do next?”, er who cares! The guy is an moronic imbecile. The sooner this idiot is banished from everywhere the better.
