And let me get this out of the way: we didn't talk about Borat. I didn't ask him if anyone had ever jokingly threatened to throw the Jew down the well. He didn't show me a picture of his pet chicken. To have gone into any of this, even as a joke would have been incredibly disrespectful, not to menti...

Borat star prepares to shock America with his latest film which is said to contain a black model called Jesus....

So how about that OJ verdict? Tell me you didn't see it coming, seriously? Well, now for a crazy left turn: You know what? Cultural co-option is bothering me less and less these days.Why? Well, it's not because it's less important to me, but because the arguments are getting more divisive... people ...

Call it whatever you want, but there's no question Sacha Baron Cohen is at it again. As Erik re...

I have never seen the Borat movie, nor am I a huge fan of the Sacha Baron Cohen genre of humor. However, that he managed to dupe former Mossad spy and current political analyst Yossi Alpher is enough to make me smile. Sacha Baron Cohen's German rock star character interviewed Alper for his upcoming ...

We now know when to expect an answer to the "Bruno: Borat-level triumph or $42 million Universal folly?" question eating at Hollywood since first learning that the studio had shelled out that unconscionable sum for a feature-length prankumentary starring the heterosexually-threatening Sacha Baron Co...

Tories will, quite rightly, be delighted by the win of Boris Johnson in London, but for me it is a sad indictment of the state our politics is in.
