ITTY BITTY BITS: Bruno/Eminem stunt staged; Peas in SD; David Banda's racing party.

       *The head writer for the MTV Movie Awards admitted that the stunt involving Sacha Baron Cohen and Eminem at Sunday's ceremony was completely planned. Comedy writing veteran Scott Aukerman wrote in a posting on his blog that the incident was staged and rehearsed in advance. At the show, Baron Cohen was lowered down from the ceiling in character as his gay fashionista Bruno. He landed testicles first on Eminem, which caused the rapper to storm out. OK, if this is true, we still find it impossible to see how how Emenim (Yes, we know he has a new CD out) can possibly benefit from this disgusting (but hilarious) act. We're on the record as NOT believing it until we hear it from Em.

      *The Black Eyed Peas and M.I.A. are confirmed performers for the two-day 2009 Street Scene festival, to be held Aug. 28-29 in downtown San Diego. The festival will be set up in San Diego's East Village, including Tailgate Park near Petco Park stadium. A limited supply of two-day tickets is now on sale for $122.

       *Madonna threw her adopted son David a racing-themed party on Friday to celebrate the one-year anniversary of his official adoption from Malawi. According to WENN, the pop icon turned her Sunset Boulevard home in Los Angeles into a race track for the day and outfitted the driveway with checkered flags and balloons. Hot Wheels Goodie Bags were also handed out to the little revelers.
