After admitting that last week's stunt in which Sacha Baron Cohen's film character Bruno landed on Enimem's lap the MTV Movie Awards was staged, the rap star has added that he was thrilled it went off with out a hitch.

Speaking to RapRadar.com, Eminem admitted that the butt-revealing stunt as well as his reaction of storming out of the theatre were completely rehearsed, and they had planned it months ago.

"Sacha called me when we were in Europe and he had an idea to do something outrageous at the Movie Awards. I'm a big fan of his work so I agreed to get involved with the gag," he said.

"I'm thrilled that we pulled this off better than we rehearsed it. It had so many people going nuts, so to speak. Everyone was blowing me up about it."

Eminem admitted that after he stormed out of the ceremony he returned to his hotel and "laughed uncontrollably for about three hours. Especially after I saw it on air".
