SACHA BARON COHEN WILL ROCK YOU AS FREDDIE MERCURY

Hollywood has been trying for years to get a movie about Queen singer Freddie Mercury made and the last we heard, Johnny Depp was front-runner for the role. Johnny would have been great, but we’re delighted to hear that Sacha Baron Cohen has landed the role! Actually Cohen bears the closest resemblance to Mercury, who was of Indian descent, and born in Zanzibar. And Sacha looks good in spandex, too. Robert DeNiro is one of the producers finally getting this show on the road. The script covers the band’s early formative years up to the magnificent Queen performance for Live Aid in 1985. Freddie died tragically of AIDS in 1991 but his health decline won’t be part of the film – it will end on a high note. Paramount got the rights to the best Queen songs so this will also be a feast for the ears.

SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY: SASHA BARON COHEN JOINED THE ARMY FOR A DAY

The Alabama Military Academy is embarrassed because Sasha Baron Cohen managed to pull the wool over their hospitable eyes. Cohen convinced officials at the academy that he was making a German documentary about what it was like to be in Officer Candidate School. They toured “Bruno” around the post, gave him a uniform to wear, and allowed him to join the trainees. The THONG he revealed when changing clothes should have tipped someone off, but it didn’t! Finally a cadet recognized the movie star and alerted older officers who’d never heard of him. He was 86’d, but Sasha managed to walk away with some footage.

Bruno Gay Sasha Baron Cohen

BRUNO MIXES IT UP WITH PROP 8 DEMONSTRATORS

Makes sense that Sacha Baron Cohen would show up for a YES on proposition 8 rally downtown at the LA courthouse. (This is the unpopular LA proposition AGAINST gay marriage.) NO on 8 supporters were hotly demonstrating also. Cohen’s current movie character is Bruno the gay Austrian journalist, so it was the ideal event for him. Naturally Bruno (dressed like a yuppie) was on the WRONG side, and got everyone on both sides of the proposition agitated and confused. When TV cameras recognized him, Bruno made a run for it with his signs and drove off in a hurry.

Divorce Friends Guy Ritchie Madonna Sasha Baron Cohen Sting

MADONNA AND GUY RITCHIE: WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?

Madonna has laid out the ground rules of her divorce and they include all the friends that she and Guy Ritchie share. Or DID share. According to the NY Post, Madonna has announced to all their shared friends that they must CHOOSE sides. They cannot continue to be friends with both parties. Among those caught in the middle of the split are Sting and his wife Trudie Styler – who introduced the Ritchies. Also, Sacha Baron Cohen and his wife Isla will have to pick a side. Madonna made this rule because she doesn’t want to share custody, or some other kind of information with a friend, and have it get back to Guy. It’ll be interesting to see who walks away with which friends.

Borat Isla Fisher Sasha Baron Cohen

STAND BACK! ISLA FISHER LOOKS READY TO EXPLODE!

Sasha Baron Cohen’s fiancee Isla Fisher is SO pregnant it almost scares us to look at her. She’s eight and a half months along and Isla looks like she’s having triplets. The happy couple shopped and gassed up in Beverly Hills but they went home early when Isla got tired. Cohen’s facial hair makes us wonder what character he’ll be serving up next. Since EVERYBODY seems to be familiar with Borat, he’ll have to take a rest. No word on when they plan to marry.

Gay Parade Isla Fisher Sasha Baron Cohen

SACHA BARON COHEN SOAKING UP THE SCENE AT THE GAY PARADE

Photo Credit: Buzz Foto

Sacha Baron Cohen and his very pregnant girlfriend Isla Fisher turned up at the Gay Parade in West Hollywood this weekend. They weren’t IN the parade – they were simply watching from the sidelines and barely noticed. We can’t help but wonder is Sacha is doing research for his new character Bruno – the gay Austrian fashion reporter. Sacha hoped to take the character Bruno to fashion week in New York, but since Borat it seems he’s too popular and well known to fool many people there.

Models Sasha Baron Cohen

BORAT: EAT YOUR HEART OUT

This weekend we met a tall gorgeous nineteen year old model named Aisha who told us she is from Kazakhstan! What a coincidence! That, of course, is the country Borat made famous! We were pleasantly surprised to see that people from her country did not all look like Borat or the gypsies featured in his movie. Aisha, who is currently posing for the Urban Outfitters catalog, told us she LOVED the movie and didn’t find it offensive at all.

SACHA BARON COHEN: SPLIT PERSONALITY

The holidays are here and we feel obligated to warn hosts inviting Sacha Baron Cohen to Hanukkah festivities that the Borat star is very particular. Cohen has a lot to celebrate because an LA judge just refused to halt the DVD release of Borat because of the college boys lawsuit against him. Back when Sasha was better known as Ali G, he was invited to a Jewish holiday meal and the day before the dinner, Cohen interrogated the host about the food. The actor needed to establish that the food would be absolutely kosher and he asked many questions including what kind of plates the edibles would be served on. The host admitted a few of the dishes weren’t strictly kosher and Cohen thanked him and chose to eat elsewhere. It’s hard to believe this is the same guy who wears a day-glo thong.

Gloria Allred Sasha Baron Cohen

GLORIA ALLRED: SHAME ON YOU!

We usually LOVE Gloria Allred but we are very upset by the bogus lawsuit she may file against Borat. (The etiquette lady he fooled in the movie is angry.) Gloria – WHAT HAPPENED to your sense of humor? We fear that Gloria and her legal compatriots can’t take a joke. And THAT is truly a crime. We wonder if Gloria could possibly have sat through Borat without laughing her head off. So WHAT if Sacha Baron Cohen poked fun at a few people – since when is that against the law? We were thrilled by Cohen’s lack of political correctness – especially since he skewered everyone equally. We should all laugh at ourselves, not sue each other. Has Gloria forgotten how to have a good time? This mounting pile of tacky lawsuits by the people Borat fooled is an embarrassment to all Americans WITH a sense of humor.
