Sacha Baron Cohen is currently busy filming a movie featuring his queer alter ego Bruno, the follow-up to the hugely successful Borat movie, and the British comedian is already making headlines around the world.

Last week, security was put on red alert at Wichita Airport when "a German film crew member" started stripping down to tight shorts and dancing in the lobby (see the video clip below). A church in Kansas also reported that a strange European camera crew showed up to their Easter play with the on air personality in chains.

And Mike Walker of the National Enquirer reported the following story on the Howard Stern Show on Thursday: Ben Affleck called comedian friend Sarah Silverman after completing a sit-down interview with a person he was told was a "very famous openly gay fashion journalist". Ben called the interview "the weirdest sit-down he has ever had with a reporter" explaining that the interviewer's (whom he referred to as an "idiot") first question was "How Do You Like Nig*ers?" After a stunned silence, Silverman asked Affleck "Was this guy's name Bruno?" Then and only then did Affleck actually realize that the whole thing was a gag.

The movie, which is nimbly titled "Brüno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt," is expected to hit theaters in October 2008.
