Eminem called into his own Sirius/XM satellite radio station Shade45 to drop a little bit of news. First and foremost: Slim Shady will be performing his only show of the year at the Voodoo Festival, the annual three-day concert event in New Orleans. He'll be sharing the bill with Kiss, Jane's Addiction and the Flaming Lips.
But that's not all, as Em was calling from his studio in Detroit where he is working on the sequel to his recently-released, already-platinum Relapse. He said he's still working on music, but his second album of the year should be out "by the fourth quarter," just in time for holiday sales.
When hosts Rude Jude and Lord Sear asked whether the incident at the MTV Movie Awards was his idea or Brüno's, he told them, "He hit me up and asked me if he could put his balls in my face, and I said 'Certainly.'" They even inquired about the smell, which Em summed up in one word: "Delicious." Check out the full call here, but be warned: It's a pretty graphic bit of audio.
Brüno's bare-assed crash landing on Eminem has already become one of the most talked-about moments in MTV Movie Awards history (for non-Twilighters, I suppose). But it also made us think, was Em really the best person in the audience the Austrian fashion reporter could have chosen?
Here are five celebs we would love to have seen in a compromising position courtesy of Brüno:
