Bruno got everyone's attention at the MTV Music Awards. (MTV Images)

It's a slow news day, kids. So I guess everyone wants to know about the Eminem-Bruno stunt and whether the supposedly pissed off rapper was actually in on the gag or not. Well, according to Scott Aukerman, the head writer on the MTV Movie Awards, it was all a pre-rehearsed stunt.

When a winged and half-naked Sacha Baron Cohen landed directly in Eminem's lap with Cohen's balls resting on his chin, Eminem apparently faked anger and disgust.

Aukerman wrote: "Yes, the Eminem-Bruno incident was staged. They rehearsed it at dress [rehearsal] and yes, it went as far as it did on the live show."

Although Eminem and his entourage angrily stormed out, according to TV Guide, "Most of the big celebs came, did their thing and left."
