Do, Dump, or Marry? Sacha Baron Cohen

TresSugar — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 02:00:00 -0700

After seeing Sacha Baron Cohen dressed up as Ali G, Borat, and Bruno, it's hard to remember that underneath the believable disguise is this curly haired cutie! If I were his woman, I might be afraid of getting pranked all the time, but he's obviously doing something right since he has actress Isla Fisher by his side.

I already found out what BuzzSugar thought about the movie Bruno, but I'm dying to know what you all think about the man behind the flamboyant character.

Brüno: Exposing or Encouraging Homophobia?

TresSugar — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 11:30:00 -0700

If you haven't noticed, a lot of people don't know what to make of Sacha Baron Cohen's upcoming film Brüno. A spokesperson for GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) is the latest person to express mixed feelings about the Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt:

"We have very mixed emotions about the movie. Those of us who saw the film agreed that you can't critique it as a single film because it's more like 90 minutes of individual sketches. Some are funny and hit their mark but others hit the [gay] community instead. As someone who sat at the back of a focus group audience outside of Los Angeles, I felt they were laughing at us at times."

Yet one critic thinks everyone needs to grow up and realize Brüno does not represent the entire gay community, but a set of people who "blanket themselves in one aspect of their personality" (their sexuality) just to force a reaction out of people. Another writer sees Cohen's performance of stereotypically outrè gayness this way: "It's not irony, you're just an asshole."

Do you think Bruno will expose or encourage homophobia? Can we laugh at one flamboyant, outrageous (and fictitious) gay man and the possible homophobia this elicits without laughing at the whole community? Could there be a redeeming value to this film?

The Devil Walks Prada

GiggleSugar — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 16:17:16 -0700

Well, Agatha Ruiz de la Prada. Sacha Baron Cohen is up to some new tricks. Instead of just punking Spring Break yahoos in Miami, he's going after Milan Fashion Week designers! Somehow, he got backstage access to the other Prada show in Milan and walked the runway until startled (and I imagine, pissed off) fashionistas gave him a well-heeled boot. All this for his upcoming movie Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America For the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Male. And honestly - I can't wait! Go Bruno! (To read more about his antics at Milan's Fashion Week, click here.)

Bruno Meets Giselle

Not only is supermodel Giselle Bundchen rich and beautiful, she seems pretty sweet, too. How would you act if accosted by in-your-face weirdo Bruno, aka Sacha Baron Cohen, who claims to have met you before? Most people - forget millionaire supermodels - would tell him to buzz off. Watch what Giselle does. . .

Bruno Wants to P-A-R-T-Y!

GiggleSugar — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 13:00:00 -0700

I cannot wait for this movie. Bruno (aka Sacha Baron Cohen) goes to GAYtona Beach, FL, for spring break and gets a bunch of yahoo frat boys to spell out the word party and say "Whoo!" in endless variations. What they don't anticipate is what he asks them to say into the camera towards the end. Whoopsies! It's worth the wait, my friends.

Sacha Baron Cohen's Bruno Goes to Evil Fest

GiggleSugar — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 03:00:00 -0700

Most people know Ali G and Borat, but not everyone knows SBC's character Bruno, the gay Austrian news anchor who loves to surprise the douches he interviews by signing off for Austrian Gay TV. Here he is at a lame neo-Nazi music festival in England called "Evil Fest." (Oooooh, scary!) Full of dum-dums who randomly shout at the top of their lungs, Bruno has a grand ol' time making them look doofy. (Trust - they don't need a lot of help.) Definitely watch until the end, when Bruno asks a sad little shirtless man hanging out trying not to pass out why he's evil. Priceless.

Ali G Interviews Posh and Becks

GiggleSugar — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 01:00:00 -0700

This is an oldie--before the Beckhams took over Los Angeles--but it proves that Posh and Becks are a pretty adorable couple (Posh's robotic tendencies notwithstanding.) They're good sports about Ali G's merciless off-color teasing, and it's true--Becks' voice does not match his look! (Notice how they lean away from Ali G as far as they can!)

Will Ferrell & SBC Lock Lips At MTV Movie Awards

GiggleSugar — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 11:30:00 -0700

Will and Sacha are the kissers that keep on giving! While accepting their tubs of golden popcorn for winning "Best Kiss" at the MTV Movie Awards last night, these two funny men got into a lover's quarrel but quickly decided to kiss and make up. When they took their relationship to the next level (that is, to the floor), they gave Sarah Silverman a run for her raunchy.

Ali G: Policeman

Before there was Borat, there was Ali G. Here, he somehow manages to train to be a cop. "Yo, this be 2310. We got a brother, a honkey, and...a Spanish." Oh, brother.
