Paris Hilton was Sacha Cohen’s first choice for the MTV Awards prank. But Paris refused to participate in the stunt and it was Eminem who agreed to do it. And yes, sources claim he did agree to participate in the stunt and his acting abilities are excellent.

Can you really imagine Paris wanting to do a stunt like that? No, I can’t and don’t see how any female would want to be a part of that, funny or not. And since it was butt humor, it was definitely aimed at the male population. A source from Life & Style says:

But an MTV insider has told Life & Style that producer Mark Burnett cleared the prank with the rapper beforehand. However, Eminem wasn’t aware of exactly how naked Sacha would be when he agreed to do it!

A second insider also confirms that Eminem was actually Burnett’s second choice. The first? Heiress Paris Hilton, who, luckily for her, declined to participate (probably because she was on a date with boyfriend Doug Reinhardt!). “Paris is quite happy she turned down the offer,” the insider tells Life & Style.

Do you think Eminem was really ticked off or acting? If you didn’t know how bare the butt was, it would have been a surprise. Good thinking on Paris’ part!
