Paris Hilton - Paris: 'Eminem Knew Nothing About Bruno Surprise'

PARIS HILTON insists EMINEM knew nothing about the full extent of his humiliation at the MTV Movie Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night (31May09) - because friends behind the scenes told her to expect a big surprise at the ceremony.

The socialite couldn't quite see who Sacha Baron Cohen's semi-naked Bruno character had landed on on his way to the stage until Eminem got up and walked out of the Universal Ampitheater - but she's convinced the prank was more than just a publicity stunt.

Although Eminem appeared to be speaking into a microphone as he yelled, "Are you f**kin' serious?" as he looked into cameras over a suspended Cohen's bare backside, the rapper's entourage manhandled the funnyman in such a way it looked as if they weren't prepared for the Brit's outrageous entrance - and Hilton feels sure it was all a big surprise.

She says, "I don't think he (Eminem) knew because I talked to someone who was running the show before and he said a big surprise was gonna happen and the person didn't know it was gonna happen."

And Hilton isn't surprised Eminem stormed out after the unfortunate incident: "I think anyone would be mad if something was, like, in your face like that... It was very odd."
