SACHA BARON COHEN’S “THE DICTATOR” HAS MAJOR LAUGH POTENTIAL

Sacha Baron Cohen was photographed on the set of “The Dictator” currently filming in New York. A little more about the plot has been revealed: Cohen plays a dictator intent on saving his country from democracy, who arrives in New York for a meeting at the United Nations only to learn his seat has been filled by a sheepherder look-alike in cahoots with his second in command. The dictator wanders around New York in awe of the freedoms permitted, and he just might have a romance with a character played by Anna Faris.

WHAT COULD BE MORE FUN THAN SACHA BARON COHEN PLAYING A MIDDLE EASTERN DICTATOR?

Sacha Baron Cohen’s next movie “The Dictator” is in the early stages of production and we’re already itching to see it. You may recall “The Dictator” was inspired by a sappy book written by Saddam Hussein but the movie will of course, be a comedy. Sacha will have duel roles as a goat herder and a dictator horrified by democracy, who vows never to allow it to come to his country. Somehow the dictator ends up lost in the USA and his clash with our culture will provide comic fodder. Sacha’s favorite director Larry Charles (Bruno, Borat) is in charge and Cohen will have a 20 million dollar paycheck. The production team is reportedly already having difficulty lining up appropriate locations due to Sacha Baron Cohen’s notoriety.

Borat Hollywood Isla Fisher Real Estate Sacha Baron Cohen

SACHA BARON COHEN AND ISLA FISHER: THE HOUSE THAT BORAT BUILT

Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher finally got married in March, so it’s high time they moved into their Hollywood dream house. Sacha and Isla and their little girl Olive, 2, have been living in a home close to the street and they could hear the tourist busses stopping outside. That, and the fact that Isla is expecting another baby around the new year, caused them to buy this English country style house in the Hollywood Hills for over fifteen million dollars. It has seven bedrooms and baths and a detached movie theater. “Borat” and “Bruno” may be history, but they made a LOT of money for Cohen, who is now filming a family–mystery, “Hugo Cabret” directed by Martin Scorcese.

IT’S LUENELL, THE COURAGEOUS “HOOKER” FROM “BORAT”

Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

You’ve seen this woman a number of times and her name might be on the tip of your tongue: it’s Luenell. She’s a regular on the comedy channels and often guest stars on sitcoms. Luenell is most famous, however, for her role as a prostitute in “Borat.” How can we forget her scene with Borat behaving boorishly at a snobbish dinner party! We met her at an Allee Willis party, and Luenell confided to us that she was “terrified” the whole time she was filming those scenes because she “never knew what was going to happen.” The victims of Sacha Baron Cohen’s twisted pranks might have reacted in a very bad way. Fortunately, the end result was hilarious. (Above, Luenell was caught leaving Katsuya)

Avatar James Cameron Oscars Sacha Baron Cohen

SACHA BARON COHENS HUMOR WAS NOT APPRECIATED BY SERIOUS OSCAR PRODUCERS

We were SO looking forward to seeing Sacha Baron Cohen pull some sort of stunt and liven up the Oscars, but as you know, he was cut loose at the last minute because producers fear that Avatar director James Cameron has no sense of humor. Cohen had planned a skit with Ben Stiller where Sacha would be dressed up as a blue female Na’vi and Ben would “translate” her speech. The translation would have become more and more heated and finally the Na’vi would reveal that she was pregnant with Cameron’s child. This was supposed to lead to a hilarious Jerry Springer style surprise confrontation with Cameron. Producers were afraid that Cameron, instead of laughing, might actually walk OUT, since he is renowned for having highly publicized romances with his leading ladies. It might have been the funniest moment of the show…..

Bruno Gay Sacha Baron Cohen

THE ADVOCATE WASN’T THRILLED BY BRUNO, BUT WE WERE

It was quite a surprise to see that The Advocate gave a better review to “I Love You Beth Cooper” than it gave to “Bruno.” Does that mean the gay community doesn’t embrace “Bruno?” It would be a shame because “Bruno” IS the funniest scream-out-loud movie since “Borat.” Sacha Baron Cohen makes fun of EVERYONE and reactions to his outrageous character are priceless. We are still amazed that those Deliverance-type hunters even KNEW what “Sex & The City” was. Sacha is a brave man.

Bruno David Letterman Gay Sacha Baron Cohen

SACHA BARON COHEN CAME IN LIKE A LION AND OUT LIKE A LAMB

Sacha Baron Cohen walked INTO the Letterman show in New York looking like his normal dashing self, but he walked OUT afterward in full “Bruno” drag. Apparently he gave himself a radical “gay” makeover in the dressing room. This is the first time we’ve seen him NOT dressed like Bruno in quite awhile. It must be a relief for his fiance Isla Fisher. (We can hardly WAIT to see the movie.)

BRUNO TAKES ON MATADORS IN MADRID

Another day, another “Bruno” premier. Sacha Baron Cohen obviously has planned an appropriately costumed stunt for the movie’s opening in every major city. First is was the Buckingham Place guards at the UK premier. Above, he was in Madrid, in anatomically correct bull drag, surrounded by sexy matadors. We love his showmanship. What’s he got in store for the USA?

SACHA BARON COHEN: THE BRITS LOVE BRUNO

Sacha Baron Cohen went all out and led a scantily clad all-male group dressed as Buckingham Palace guards to the London premier of his movie “Bruno.” His fiancee Isla Fisher discreetly arrived separately, dressed fashionably, and avoided the hi-jinks. Cohen goes to great extremes to publicize his films and they more than live up to the hype. ” Bruno” is getting rave reviews in Europe.

SACHA BARON COHEN IS STILL LAUGHING AT HIS OWN JOKE

Sacha Baron Cohen arrived at Heathrow airport in London today, after his wildly successful stunt with Eminem at the MTV Movie Awards in LA. He’s having a hard time concealing his laughter and he doesn’t want to talk about whether the “flying Bruno” stunt was rehearsed. Of course it was – we knew THAT when Eminem’s gang didn’t beat Bruno to a pulp on camera. The fact that Eminem was wearing a live mic was another giveaway. So what – it was still really funny.
