Borat: The honeymoon is over, plus Bruno and Ali G video

Sacha Baron Cohen aka Borat is still making news. Sure he had the number one movie again this week, but now some of his co-stars are a little angry with the film:
Two of Cohen's targets -- fraternity boys who made drunken, insulting comments about women and minorities -- are suing 20th Century Fox and three production companies. The lawsuit claims that a production crew took the students to a bar to "loosen up" before participating in what they were told would be a documentary to be shown outside of the United States, and that they signed waivers after drinking heavily. Studio spokesman Gregg Brilliant said the lawsuit "has no merit."

Cohen's behavior also wasn't funny to Dharma Arthur, who claims she was fired as a morning show producer in Jackson, Miss., after being duped into giving Cohen air time. Cohen's live appearance, in which he said he had to go "urine" and hugged a bemused weatherman, led her life into a downward spiral, she told the AP. She is seeking an apology.
It's been reported that Cohen's next movie revolves around one of his other characters named Bruno. If you thought Borat could be shocking, you haven't seen anything yet.
