In 2002, hip hop star Eminem impressed a helluva lot of people with his work in the sort-of-biographical drama, "8 Mile." He's been relatively quiet on the Hollywood front since then, other than a few publicity stunts. All that is about to change however, as Eminem is preparing to return to the silver screen.

Next up for Slim Shady is "Shady Talez," a 3-D horror anthology described as "'Twilight Zone' meets 'Creepshow'" by ScreenDaily, which broke the news. The project is a collaboration between "I, Robot" producer John Davis and writer/producer Dallas Jackson, under the D.J. Classicz/Davis Entertainment label. Jackson will co-write the story with "Underworld" creator Kevin Grevioux; the duo will also produce a four-issue comic book miniseries based on the movie under the Marvel Icons label, for a 2010 release.

One of the shining moments at this year's MTV Movie Awards came when the half-dressed gay Austrian fashion reporter Brüno dropped into the crowd after a technical mishap... and right onto Eminem's head. It was a little worse than that actually: the fashionista hit Em's lap in an awkward position, with his legs wrapped around the rapper's head. Check it here:

Eminem's reaction was... well... let's just say he was a bit miffed. He later revealed however that the whole thing was a big joke: "Sacha [Baron Cohen, a.k.a. Brüno] 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," the rapper 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."

Joke or not, Brüno still harbors some anger at Eminem's reaction. Read more...

FROM MTV.COM: The last time Brüno got in front of MTV's cameras, he swooped down from the rafters at the Movie Awards like some S&M-possessed angel and plunged onto Eminem's head, setting off a melee of flying feathers and angry bodyguards and creating one of the most unforgettable moments in the show's 18-year history.

So when MTV News caught up with Brüno on Tuesday during a MySpace-sponsored screening of his upcoming movie, we wanted to know what the Austrian fashion guru had to say about the infamous encounter with Em. Not surprisingly, he had some fightin' words left over after the May awards show.

You may know that director Judd Apatow has wrangled a laundry list of stars for his forthcoming "Funny People," that includes -- along with leads Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann and Eric Bana -- Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman, Norm MacDonald, Sarah Silverman, Aziz Ansari, RZA, Dave Attell and others. But did you know a certain Detroit rapper will also be joining the crew?

That's right: Marshall Mathers himself will be making an appearance in the film. You'll have to wait until July 31 to see exactly why, but we've got the very first look at Eminem's tableside chat with Sandler's character, a dying stand-up comedian named George Simmons. Take a gander below, and don't forget to read the first of Judd Apatow's exclusive blogs for MTV, wherein he answers a bevy of questions you haven't even asked.

FROM MTV.COM: Hard as it may be for some to believe that Eminem was in on his incident with Brüno at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday night, the MC's comments on the stunt have certainly gotten fans talking.

After Eminem said he was "thrilled that we pulled this off better than we rehearsed it," the response was sharply divided over whether the bit was a hilarious display of good humor by Slim Shady or a bad look for a rapper.

You've gotta hand it to Lil Wayne. The guy is a wordsmith. He sums up very well exactly what we should have expected from Sacha Baron Cohen-as-Brüo's appearance last night on the MTV Movie Awards: nothing. "I was expecting the unexpected... with him," the rapper said to MTV's Tim Kash of Brüno's run-in with Eminem. "I didn't understand it, but it was cool."

Maybe it was cool, but Eminem certainly didn't seem to think so. The rapper had some harsh words after Cohen's gay Austrian fashion reporter landed upside down in Eminem's lap. Em struggled as his bodyguards extracted the fallen Brüno and then stormed out of the Gibson Amphitheatre. And he thought Triumph the Insult Comic Dog was bad.

FROM MTV.COM: Long before Brüno and Eminem, er, met at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and the rapper had a feud that played out in front of the MTV viewers at the 2002 Video Music Awards.

So who better than Triumph to comment on a more-or-less naked Brüno falling from the ceiling and landing on Eminem, causing the rapper to leave the Gibson Amphitheatre. "I'm a legend," Triumph told MTV News. "And I sat on Eminem's face long before Brüno ever did."

MTV's Josh Horowitz referred to the following meeting of the minds as a top contender for the Movie Awards' "WTF moment of the night." Funnyman Jonah Hill had a little powwow with rap superstar Eminen, who is apparently a big fan of "Superbad," in which Hill was a star. Make no mistake though: Em isn't just an admirer. He's a huge fan. The words "best movie ever" were thrown about in reference to "Superbad."

For his part, Hill seems to still be wrapping his mind around the Em convo himself as he describes it for MTV's audience. All of this clearly went down before or in the early stages of the show, as Eminem left shortly after his performance following an unfortunate run-in with a flying, half-dressed fashion reporter. Get more from Hill on his random encounter in the video after the jump. Read more...

The MTV Movie Awards are nothing if not irreverent, and even more so when you're dealing with live television. It's that feeling of anything could happen that separates it from stuffy affairs like the Oscars or Golden Globes.

When you combine that with the flamboyantly gay fashion reporter Brüno, it's...well, explosive. Such was the case when Brüno was slated to announce the Best Male Performance nominees. Suspended high above the audience, Brüno flew towards the stage, only to get tangled in wires and dropped squarely in the lap of Marshall Mathers himself, Eminem. A short scuffle and some cursing transpired, followed by an angry stampede from the building. Watch the moment in the video below.

You know you've made it as a rapper when even Paris Hilton is in your corner. Catching up with the heiress on the red carpet for the MTV Movie Awards, we asked Paris what she thought of Em, who would be performing in an hour during the show. It's all about style, says the pop culture queen.
