Bruno, Sacha Baron Cohen's alter ego (well, alter-alter ego, considering Borat), is ready to cause more of a stir. Though his movie doesn't premiere until July 10, Bruno has been making headlines by disrupting fashion shows, crashing crotch-first into Eminem's face at the MTV Movie Awards, and posing nude on the cover of this month's GQ.
