I can not believe he did that!




For his new movie Sasha Cohen hijacked Milan Fashion week -

Baron Cohen and his team used fake passes to fool security guards into letting them into a backstage area of a show by the Italian label Iceberg.

One of the comedian's team, dressed in a head-to-toe velcro suit, caused chaos by running around and careering into clothes racks.

In footage aired on Italian television, flustered fashionistas screamed "security, security" until the man was manhandled away by security guards.

The team tried to enter a second fashion show on Thursday evening but were thwarted by tightened security.

Baron Cohen – best known for his creations Ali G and Borat, the blundering journalist from Kazakhstan – is in Milan working on a new film featuring his character Bruno.

The movie, Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Male, is due out in May.

It is being shot in the same mockumentary style that was such a hit in Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.

Bruno, like Borat, is one of the sketch characters from Baron Cohen's popular TV series, Da Ali G Show.

Italy Mall: Wave of the Future


As a general rule, shoppers don’t usually trek to malls, park their cars and trudge through parking lots to check out the architecture. But Boeri Studio is trying to change that with its futuristic overhaul of Italy’s first shopping mall.

In fact, Cinisello Balsamo Shopping Center pretty much shows no trace of the nondescript, industrial-looking space it was built as in 1974. Located on the outskirts of Milan, the structure has been revamped to make the mall more alluring to Italy’s design-minded consumers. The combination of the new parking garage’s Space Age-type alveolar polycarbonate panels and bulbous windows with rear lighting is meant to be enthralling at night. The mall’s interior has been rejigged and the exterior has been clad with perforated stainless steel, giving the effect of a gigantic cheese grater.
