Sacha Baron Cohen

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

After six years of dating, funny guy Sacha Baron Cohen and his baby mama Isla Fisher finally tied the knot in a private ceremony in Paris.

The love birds exchanged vows on March 15th with a traditional Jewish ceremony in front of close friends and family.

The ceremony was so hush hush, it managed to stay out of the press until a email from Isla was leaked.

In an email to pals, Fisher wrote, "We did it - we're married! It was the absolute best day of my life and in so many beautiful moments I missed you all so much. I thought of you as everything was happening, but Sacha and I wanted no fuss."

Sacha and Isla became engaged in 2004 and have an adorable 2-year-old daughter together named Olive.

Congrats to the happy couple!

Bruno has posed naked for the latest issue of GQ magazine! And he looks almost as good as Jennifer Aniston doing it!

Sacha Baron Cohen didn’t come out of character for a second for his interview in the July issue of the mag. He even took some questions from his fans, including how to achieve Zac Efron hair, and the typical protocol for “manscaping.”

Here are some of the “fan” questions:

Q: Hey, Brüno, I recently started collecting unemployment. Any style tips for someone on a tight budget?
"Times are hard, but if you shop around und are prepared to vear some things twice before throwing zem avay, it is still possible to look good on a clothing budget of about $20,000 a veek. Ich mean, obwiously you vill need a bit more zan zat if you are planning on leaving ze house."

Q: Dear Brüno, is it okay to “manscape” down there?
"It’s more zan okay; it is most essential. Be careful if you do it yourself, though—yesterday ich tried to self-wax mein arschenhaller und glued meinself to ze bed. Manscaping ist important, but not as crucial as getting regular anal bleaching. If Brüno didn’t get his schmutziger arschenhaller bleached twice a month, his shtinker vould resemble Dizzy Gillespie during a trumpet solo. In Austria anal bleaching ist considered so important zat it’s paid for by ze state. In fact, you cannot run for office if you don’t have a vhite arschwitz. Indeed, ex-chancellor Kurt Waldheim vas elected on ze back of a prishtine anus. Zere are added benefits to getting ze bleaching—on my last session, mein beautician, Klaus, found ze long-lost head of a David Beckham action figure up zere."

Q: Dear Brüno, how can I get some “Efron hair”? Or at least some “Pattinson hair”?
"Ich vouldn’t bother getting a Zac Efron hairstyle right now, cos ich am about to change mine and he’s certain to copy me again. In terms of grooming, ze only thing he hasn’t copied me with ist getting his ballensack pierced—vell, he hadn’t had it done ze last time ich saw him."

He’s definitely a character! Click here to read more fan questions, and pick up a copy of the July GQ to see Bruno’s sexy photo spread!

Sacha Baron Cohen is no stranger to legal woes. He sets himself up with the characters he plays in his movies, tricking everyday people left and right. And he’s pissed off a lot of people!

The Bruno star is being sued by a woman for allegedly attacking a guest at a bingo charity event he showed up to. Richelle Olsen, executive director of California’s Desert Valley Charities, claims she was told a celebrity would be showing up to her bingo tournament to call the numbers. But instead, she says, an "extreme, outrageous, offensive caricature of a gay man dressed in sexually revealing clothing with an Austrian accent” showed up.

In a suit obtained by TMZ, she claims he used "vulgar and offensive language" and a "physical struggle ensued" when she tried taking the microphone from him. According to her suit, Cohen also "offensively touched, pushed and battered" her, causing her to fall to the ground.

Olsen also claims the woman was rushed to the hospital with a "diagnosis of two brain bleeds" and has since been confined to a wheelchair and walker.

Cohen and NBC Universal are among the parties she is suing for unspecified damages. A rep for Cohen and NBC Universal has yet to comment.

These are some pretty outrageous claims! We know Sacha Baron Cohen gets really into his characters, but we can’t imagine him inflicting harm on an elderly woman. We certainly hope this woman is exaggerating—not only for Sacha’s sake, but for the old lady!
