Eminem is a controversial, multiplatinum-selling rap artist who was discovered by legendary producer Dr. Dre. He's sold over 70 million albums worldwide and also starred in the popular film 8 Mile, which was loosely based on his life.
Eminem made a guest appearance at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards on May 31, 2009. He performed his newest single "We Made You" and his hit "Crack a Bottle." After his performance Eminem took his seat in the audience with his bodyguards. Next was Sacha Baron Cohen, as the character Bruno, to present Zac Efron with the Golden Popcorn statue for "Best Male Performance". Dressed in angel wings and a silver thong he descended down from the ceiling. He seemed to get tangled in his wires before crashing head first into the audience and landing right on top of Eminem. His bodyguards removed the fashion guru from his lap and Eminem stormed out of the awards ceremony.Rolling Stone: Eminem Performs at MTV Movie Awards, Meets Bruno’s Crotch (June 1, 2009)
