MTV Movie Awards: Eminem Vs. Bruno – Was It Real?

If you weren’t tuned in to the MTV Movie Awards tonight you missed a real treat – and no, we’re not talking about Robert Pattinson. Bruno - the latest character performed by Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen – came down from the ceiling decked out in some white feathery number to deliver the Best Male Performance award. Instead, he awkwardly landed his ass on top of Eminem‘s face, which caused the rapper to have a curse-filled hissy fit before storming out of the show with his crew, who also threw a few punches in Bruno’s direction.

The drama is trending high on Twitter and Google Trends, with everyone asking: was the altercation a brilliantly staged bit between Em and Sasha, or did the rapper really freak out? Ryan Seacrest is insisting via Twitter that it was absolutely real. “If u saw the fight at mtv movie awards betwen eminem and “bruno” I am told it was real and em’s crew left the show,” he writes. The guys over at Gawker, however, think the whole thing was staged.

Real or fake, it kicked ass – and completely threw Best Male Performance winner Zac Efron for a loop. Watch the clip above and let us know what you think – real or fake?

Angelina Jolie Suffers Boo Boo, World Is Scared Crapless

angelina-jolie-salt

Don’t worry. Let’s take a deep breath. Count to three. Exhale. She’s fine. She only bumped her head and suffered a small cut between the eyes while filming Salt on Long Island, NY. In fact, a Sony spokesperson has reassured us that she’s already back on the set after a precautionary trip to the hospital. But what if it had been worse? What if a blank had misfired and popped Angelina Jolie‘s multi-million dollar lips?

After watching all of those action flicks (Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Tomb Raider, Wanted), we were starting to think of Angelina as invincible. We were wrong. She bleeds like the rest of us. Let’s not forget it. [Photo: Splash News Online]

Gosselins Investigated For Possibly Breaking Child Labor Laws

Jon&Kate Gosselin

Get ready to watch Jon & Kate + Legal Drama! The estranged reality TV parents – Jon and Kate Gosselin – are currently being investigated for possibly violating child labor laws in Pennsylvania. Apparently the Pennsylvania Department of Labor received a complaint about the show, and an investigation has been launched.

“We’re not saying that they are not complying with child labor laws. We’re investigating a complaint,” Labor rep Troy Thompson said. “We’re not saying that there was or was not a violation, just that we’re conducting an investigation.”

TLC – the cable network that pays the Gosselins $50,000-$75,000 per episode – insists that it “fully complies” with state laws. [Us. Photo: FilmMagic]

The World Is Phoebe Price’s Stage

Note the people sitting behind Phoebe Price at a frozen yogurt shop in Beverly Hills. This is how ordinary, sane mortals roll when indulging in a quick snack. But not Phoebe Price. Never Phoebe Price. The direct-to-DVD actress has made a career of sorts by showing up to red carpet events in the most absurd of outfits.

And when there is no red carpet to attend? She’ll turn an ordinary yogurt run into her own personal catwalk extravaganza — wearing an Oscars-like red gown, a gimmicky sailor’s hat, and topping it all off with a little sideboob. That’s class. [Photo: WENN]

Nicole And Harlow Charm Larry King

Wanna watch Nicole Richie and Joel Madden‘s adorable daughter in action? Little Harlow joined her mom and grandfather Lionel Richie on Larry King Live last night, and the 17-month old hammed it up for the cameras and charmed the old-man pants off of Larry.

It’s clear that she got her camera skills from her mama, who came across as articulate, polished and poised, while decked out in gorgeous jewelry from her House of Harlow line. You can watch the interview with Lionel and Nicole above, or skip ahead to the 20-minute mark for some precious Harlow time.

Spencer Pratt Is The “King Of Weed”

Spencer Pratt Pothead

Spencer Pratt accidentally posted a picture of his bong on Twitter last month, so the news that he’s supposedly a total pothead doesn’t really surprise us. But apparently his toking past goes way back to high school, where insiders say he was known as “the King of Weed!”

“He was smoking it every day,” revealed a friend. “He always had a big bag and would share with everyone.” It didn’t take long for Spence-y to move onto other illegal substances, included – allegedly – Xanax and Valium. The Hills star even did a stint in rehab, but returned to his old habits quickly. “One day, he walked in on a party and pulled out a bag of pot and said, ‘We are soooooo getting stoned!’” remembered an anonymous pal. “No one thought much of it, because at least he was staying away from pills.”

At least our drug-lovin’ villain has matured into a new royal role, from the King of Weed to the King of Douchebags. [Photo: WENN]

Katy Perry Sheds Her Innocence With S&M Shoot

When we think of Katy Perry, we think of a naturally sexy girl with an innocent, quirky persona. But Complex Magazine has captured Katy in a different light for its June/July issue. Not only does she say that T.I. is “really cute” and her boyfriend Travis McCoy was “always a butt guy until he met me,” but Katy also says goodbye to colorful sundresses and pink bows and hello to S&M brassieres, booty shorts, thigh-high stockings and handcuffs. Of the photo shoot, Katy says:

It’s a bit of a darker side of me, a little S&M. Though I did have to hang from a cage, which could have easily gone wrong with the five-inch heels I was wearing.

Ka-ching! Katy Perry looking like an S&M Cleopatra? It’s money in the bank.

Andy Samberg Gears Up To Host MTV Movie Awards

MTV Shows

Saturday Night Live’s Andy Samberg is gettin’ psyched to host Sunday night’s MTV Movie Awards. “I listen to a lot of ‘Eye of the Tiger,’” he jokes to MTV News, about how he’s preppin’ for the big night. “I’m staying at a hotel, but I don’t care about the neighbors. I’ll just blast it out at 6 a.m.” While his comments are lighthearted, we imagine the star is taking his hosting duties seriously. After all, this is where the actor got his start, serving as a writer for the show in 2005 alongside Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, his partners in comedy crime. He says, “we wrote for Lindsay Lohan one year and Jimmy Fallon the next. Jimmy was actually the one who recommended us to SNL, so it’s a real full circle.”

Awww. But don’t let Samberg’s sentimental side fool you. His stint on the MTV stage is gonna be all about the funny stuff (Dick In a Box, Motherlover, Lazy Sunday – you know the drill) for which he and the Lonley Island gang are known. “It’s going to be action packed,” Samberg says about the Awards. “There’s going to be some surprises — nothing I can divulge, but it will involve celebrities. It’s going to be great. There’s going to be some pre-taped stuff, some digital shorts-style stuff, and a lot of fun collaborations.”

Check out the promo short Andy did with the adorable Rashida Jones above, and tune in to the MTV Movie Awards this Sunday night, at 9PM EST.

The Jury’s Out On Kelly Osbourne’s Latest Outfit

kelly-osbourne

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you must admit that Kelly Osbourne has a history of dressing herself in unfortunate ways. (We submit as evidence Exhibit A and Exhibit B). But in a recent FABlife poll, the overwhelming majority of you (97%, in fact) thought Kelly had succeeded in transforming herself from frumpy punk into glamorous adult while maintaining her edge (see Exhibit C). That’s why we’re confused by her recent fashion choice. Is it just us, ladies and gentlemen, or is that dress nothing more than a pimped out moo moo? [Photo: Splash News Online]
