American Idol judge Paula Abdul has admitted she was fooled by Sacha Baron Cohen's comedy character Bruno, as part of his forthcoming movie. Appearing on US radio's Johnjay and Rich Show, the star said she was told she had won an award in Germany and was interviewed by Baron Cohen's alter ego. Abdul said she had no idea it had been a set up until weeks later. "At two in the morning, I woke up in a sweat and I went: 'Oh my God' And I'm dying, because you don't expect it."

Great Success!
Not the brightest bulb in the string...
Common sense is not required for hollywierd nor politicians.....
nor the sharpest tool in the shed
Well, then neither is Ron Paul because he got stung by Cohen as well. I don’t understand how it’s legal to film someone under such fraudulent reasons. I cannot stand His shtick. The pity of it is that Cohen is a very talented guy who I believe could do great things.. but he chooses to mock other people. I don’t get it.
Glad to see somebody else thinks that way. He’s picking on “easy” targets because celebrities or politicians are not going to call somebody a fraud even if they suspect it simply because of the potential they could be wrong.
Personally, I can’t stand the guy and I didn’t find Borat amusing after the first five minutes.
Well, at the end of the day, who else can one mock but other people? That's the whole point of mockery- it's not very much fun when directed at trees and stones or even animals. It's gotta be other people.
Cohen is a living testament to the fact some people will do anything at anyone's expense to get a laugh, and to make a bucket full of money.
One of these days, Cohen's going to get his behind whooped and I hope that there's someone else's camera there to document it.
Follow the money?
oh, shut up. ;) LOL
