Sacha Baron Cohen ("Bruno") is currently in Australia promoting his new film and was tonight a guest on channel 10's Rove. Besides the fact that Rove always seems to make every interview about him - there was an interesting moment where the end of Cohen's sentence was silenced.
He was in character talking about Sacha Baron Cohen possibly being homosexual and made the statement: "I hear his wife gets less sex than Katie Holmes" - except that "Katie Holmes" was silenced out.
Why?? Because Holmes is on her way to Australia and we wouldn't want to upset a future guest would we? Too bad for Russell Crowe, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Jackson and every other celebrity that was bagged in the 20 minutes preceding it.
Besides that, has anyone noticed Rove seems to have trouble letting his celebrity guests talk about themselves or the projects they're spruiking? He'd much rather talk about himself.
He incessantly interrupted British comedian Russell Brand a few months ago, insisting the fact that he had inadvertently struck his own nose be acknowledged before letting Brand tell his story. In fact, most of his interviews involve a bit of the old 'enough about me, let's talk about you - what do you think of me?' schtick.
Case in point, the 'Bruno' interview tonight; let's see, we heard about Rove's pubic hair, Rove's outfit choice, we saw Rove get a makeover (which he playfully pretended to know nothing about) and ... ummm ... what was the movie being promoted and when is it released? - Couldn't tell you.

Kind of glad I chose to crack open season 2 of 'The Wire' instead.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a Rove fan. There's a tryhard stink about him. But I don't mind all the other comedians on the show, though Dave Highs is grating. If I have to hear him say 'I'm angry...!' just one more time...
