Jackson Scene Cut From Brüno Premiere

Out of respect for Michael Jackson's sudden death, a scene with sister LaToya was deleted from last night's screening

Michael Jackson's sudden death sent Sacha Baron Cohen back to the editing room.

The Brüno star spoofed Michael's sister La Toya during her accidental cameo in his new movie and made references to her famous sibling. Just last week, it was still a part of the movie.

But at last night's Hollywood premiere, the scene was cut. "Out of respect for the Jackson family, the filmmakers have decided to remove a small scene involving La Toya Jackson," says a Universal Pictures spokesperson.

Sacha didn't tame any of the premiere antics, though. He arrived in character, straddling a huge bedazzled tank in short shorts, and sounded off on Brüno's celeb crush...

"The guy from Twilight," he told E! News. He'll have to get in line.

As for what he thinks of Isla Fisher (his fiancée in real life), who was also at the premiere?

"I hear that guy she's with, Sasha Baron Cohen, is gay," he deadpanned. "She probably gets as much sex as Katie Holmes!"
