Sacha Baron Cohen's stunt at the MTV Movie Awards, which saw him land on Eminem while baring his naked backside, was pre-arranged, a writer has said.
The rap star was seen storming out of the ceremony after Cohen's alter-ego Bruno landed on him in a skimpy outfit.
But Scott Aukerman, head writer for the awards, wrote on his blog the incident was staged and rehearsed in advance.
"They rehearsed it at dress and yes, it went as far as it did on the live show," he said.
