Is Sacha Baron Cohen's work more offensive than funny anymore?

George Clooney to Steve-O to a fictitious character played by Sacha Baron Cohen. Wow, Elisabetta Canalis is on a serious downward spiral.

Kicking off the Cannes Film Festival, the Italian actress took part in a publicity stunt for The Dictator, Cohen's new comedy about ruthless leader General Aladeen. After oiling each other up with sun tan lotion, Sacha became enraged when Elisabetta didn't accept his advances. He then had his security escort her underneath the deck, and when they emerged they dumped a black body bag into the ocean.

OK. I guess murder-drownings are funny? I suppose that isn't too offensive considering the film makes several rape jokes and praises former North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il. Not.funny.

Sacha Baron Cohen's insane character from his new movie The Dictator appeared on weekend update on SNL on Saturday and brought out the LOLz. He said that this was one of his best movies since "Abducting Sarah Marshall and 14-Year-Old Virgin!" And check out the sweet cameo from legendary director Martin Scorsese! I wasn't excited about The Dictator at first, but now I'm getting escited...

The Academy knew he was up to something, even threatening to ban Sacha Baron Cohen from attending the Oscars. Sacha still came in character as Admiral General Aladeen to promote his upcoming film The Dictator. Walking the red carpet, General Aladeen spoke with Ryan Seacrest, who ended up being the victim of the entire stunt… in the form of supposed ashes of North Korea's Kim Jong II.

Sacha Baron Cohen Not Banned From Oscars

Will Sacha Baron Cohen ever top the success of "Borat"?
If ya ask me, these Hollywood-types take their award shows waaaay too seriously, and that's especially true when it comes to the Oscars. So don't be surprised that I sorta loved hearing Sacha Baron Cohen was planning a stunt that involved him coming in character to promote his upcoming film The Dictator. Rumors circulated the Academy revoked Sacha's tickets and banned him from the event, but that's not the case.

"We haven't banned him," says an Academy spokesperson. "We're just waiting to hear what he's going to do."
Us too!

We See You Isla Fisher!

Is the saying "all press is good press" still true?

Why so shy Isla Fisher? Not sure hubby Sacha Baron Cohen would approve of this inward behavior! Going to the doctor's office is something we all gotta do, so no need to hide it. Unless… you're trying to keep down the rumors that you're pregnant again!?!

PS - How do I know it's Isla Fisher? I was told so… Might just be some woman terrified of the sun's harmful rays. By the looks of those legs, perhaps that's the case.

Are you a fan of the musical "Les Miserables"?


The cast of the film adaptation of beloved musical Les Miserables is heating up! With Taylor Swift and Lea Michele fighting for the Oscar-worthy role of Eponine, and Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, and Russell Crowe all signed on, this is def my most anticipated flick of 2012. I mean, come on, have a heart, people!

Now, Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen joins the cast as the villainous Thenardier opposite Helena Bonham Carter. Gosh, this movie gets better and better! Anyone?!?! PLEASE!

Do you see less movies at the theater than you used to?
The second worst weekend at the box office this year! Oh my! The only positive note was Twilight bringing in another $16.9 million in chump change. The big surprise? Another dismal weekend for Martin Scorsese's critically acclaimed Hugo. With a budget of around $150 million, the 3D fantasy adventure is about a boy who lives alone in a Paris railway station. Starring Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron Cohen and Jude Law, Hugo sold just $7.6 million in tickets, bringing its two week total to $25 million. Only $125 million more to go to break EVEN! How's about OCCUPY MOVIE THEATERS here people!

Will you see Quentin Tarantino's Jamie Foxx movie "Django Unchained"?

WOW, this is shaping up to be an amazingly bizarre cast, and we couldn't wish for anything better! Quentin Tarantino's controversial follow-up to his last hit, Inglorious Basterds is Django Unchained. The movie is about a freed slave in the 1800s, who hires a German bounty hunter to help find his wife. The cast is out of control. Jamie Foxx plays the lead, while Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz plays the bounty hunter.

Joining them will be Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Kurt Russell. And now: Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen. AMAZING!

Do you think it's wrong of Sacha Baron Cohen to do a film adaptation of Saddam Hussein's book?

Speaking of crush: Cohen in latex, murder garb and cheap suits are all the same! Homeboy is hot!

Sacha Baron Cohen Sued By Cameraman

October 27, 2010 | 05:01 PM PDT

Filed under: Sacha Baron Cohen, Celebrity Court Date

Do you think Sacha Baron Cohen's movies "Bruno" and "Borat" are offensive?
British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen was sued for $25,000 in court yesterday by gay activist and journalist Mike Skiff who claims he recognized Sacha as "Bruno" during a gay rights rally on Nov 2, 2008 and began filming him. When Sacha's entourage caught-on to Mike catching on to Sacha, they began to threaten him and rough him up until he stopped filming.

Skiff immediately put the footage of Sacha playing the "Bruno" character at the rally on YouTube and he can be heard shouting that he recognizes the actor. The journalist claims that Sacha's intention to cause a scene at the rally violated his civil rights to protest...

Mike Skiff's lawsuit is only one of many stemming from Bruno and Borat that collectively total over $115 million in potential damages.

What do you think: Should these victims win the lawsuits or is Sacha Baron Cohen only having some innocent fun?!
