Remember when Sacha Baron Cohen spilled fake ashes all over Ryan Seacrest in a planned PR stunt at the Oscars this year? And then Ryan made his “surprised” face, which is very similar to his “You just won ‘American Idol’” face? Now Sacha Baron Cohen is finally apologizing for it!

Even though Ryan Seacrest probably signed a gazillion dollar million contract to allow Cohen to spill the ashes on him
Sacha Baron Cohen is simultaneously every frat boy’s dream come true, and every mother’s worst nightmare.

Cohen assumes the role as Admiral General Aladeen – aka “The Dictator” – in his latest comedy installment directed by Larry Charles. And when we say assumes, we mean embodies, only making public appearances as Aladeen like the infamous Oscar red carpet mishap with Ryan Seacrest.

Judging by a restricted trailer from the maverick of oppression himself, The Dictator promises the same vulgar brand of humor that Cohen caused elementary school teachers across the country to pull their hair out over with Borat and Brüno.

Where other films settle for trailers to promote their release, "The Dictator" uses propaganda.

Surely you remember Sacha Baron Cohen's arrival to the Oscars this past February where, dressed as his character in the upcoming film, the actor "powdered" the red carpet and Ryan Seacrest’s tux with what was said to be Kim Jong Il’s ashes.

With the film's May 11 release date just around the corner, Cohen - aka General Aladeen – can’t help but keep popping up in the media with promos for the much-anticipated comedy.
Ahh, the red carpet. It’s a time for celebrities to put on their prettiest Armani Privé dress, walk slowly down a red carpet and look pretty. However, there are times when some weird stuff goes down on the red carpet. From Kim Kardashian’s flour bomb to Nicki Minaj walking with The Pope at the Grammys, these are the weirdest red carpet moments.

Sacha Baron Cohen spills ashes on Ryan Seacrest: For some reason they let Sacha Baron Cohen through the velvet ropes at this years 2012 Oscars, knowing full well that he must have something up his sleeve. Anyways, Cohen came dressed as his new film character, “The Director” and in a totally unplanned moment spilled what he said were Kim Jong-il’s “ashes” onto Ryan Seacrest. Besides the fact that this was totally lol-worthy, it sucked for Ryan’s suit and for the rest of his red-carpet interviews who were like “omigod what is all that white stuff!”
Ryan Seacrest was the go-to reporter for all the E! News pre-Oscar red carpet interviews and Ryan dishes on all the stuff you didn't see on TV.

Of course you've at least heard about Sacha Baron Cohen's stunt on the red carpet, if you haven't I can only assume you're still using askjeeves.com and you don't own a TV.

Anyways, Sacha came to the Oscars dressed as his “The Dictator” character General Shabazz Aldadeen and gave Ryan
Poor Ryan Seacreast, thanks to a totally crazy and unplanned stunt courtesy of Sacha Baron Cohen and his new character “The Dictator,” Ryan Seacrest got an urn full of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il’s ashes poured all over his Burberry suit on the Oscar red-carpet last night.

Baron Cohen was reportedly banned from the Oscars, for fear that he might do something exactly like that, so when Cohen gave just one red carpet interview with Ryan Seacrest and E! news, Ryan was sure that something suspicious might happen.

Sacha Baron Cohen showed up to the 2012 Oscars Red Carpet dressed as his new character, 'The Dictator' General Aladeen. Hey, it could've been worse. He could've been wearing that yellow banana hammock from 'Borat'.

The Academy must've heard The General's threat to hand over a ticket, because he showed up to the Academy Awards red carpet, and he even brought backup—two hot military models.

The first person The General wanted to talk to? Ryan Seacrest, of course.

Sacha Baron Cohen is welcome to attend the Oscars. As long as he doesn’t show up wearing a banana hammock.

The Academy says that the actor is a welcome guest but they don’t want him in character. Specifically, they don’t want him portraying General Aladeen, the character from his latest comedy, ‘The Dictator.’
Sacha Baron Cohen was Borat. He was Bruno. Now he is The Dictator. After I've been hearing good things about this movie, for like, ever, the trailer for The Dictator is finally here.

In The Dictator, Cohen plays a dictator/tyrant not unlike Gaddafi and Saddam and the trailer opens with footage of President Obama and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton talking about some horrible tyrant controlling some unknown foreign country for several decades and your first reaction is "How'd they get Barack Obama in this movie" but then also "Oh shoot, is this a comedy?"

Sacha Baron Cohen has signed on to play Queen front man Freddie Mercury.

According to Deadline, the film will hit screens some time in 2011. The movie will follow the British rock group during their prime years all the way to their big Live Aid appearance in 1985.

Queen was a very controversial band and Mercury was the most controversial of the band. He died back in 1991 from complications of AIDS.

“Queen is one of the greatest rock bands of all time, and a music brand all unto itself,” GK Film’s Graham King said in a statement Thursday. “Freddie Mercury was an awe-inspiring performer, so with Sacha in the starring role couple with Peter’s screenplay and the support of Queen, we have the perfect combination to tell the real story behind their success.”

This is the perfect role for Sacha Baron Cohen because he actually resembles Mercury
