?We would love to have Sacha Baron Cohen at the Oscar show. We have expressed [to Cohen] that we don?t like our red carpet to be used as a promotional stunt. We?re waiting to hear from him. We?ve put the ball in his court.?
Oh yes, because the Oscars red carpet is sacred ground where nobody, I mean nobody, promotes anything. We never hear the words: "My dress is by Chanel, my earrings are Cartier, my bag is Judith Leiber, my tampon is Fendi and the platinum stick up my ass is Bvlgari." We never hear that! I don't know why those Oscar bitches care about Sacha Baron Cohen showing up in character when they obviously have no problem with Ryan Seacrest showing up as a straight journalist every year.
