Only Sacha Baron Cohen dressed as a General Aladeen from his upcoming film “The Dictator” could manage to upstage Hollywood’s most beautiful people on the Oscar red carpet.
Arriving in perhaps the longest limo of the evening and flanked by two women wearing short skirts and red berets, Cohen caused a big commotion in his brief appearance on the red carpet. Carrying what appeared to be an urn, Cohen “accidentally” poured what he called the ashes of deceased North Korean leader Kim Jong Il on Ryan Seacrest during an interview with Seacrest for E!
Seacreast appeared a bit surprised and even a little put off by the stunt.

Seacreast appeared a bit surprised and even a little put off by the stunt.
Cohen, as his alter ego, explained that it was his friend Kim Jong Il’s dream to have his “ashes sprinkled on the red carpet and Halle Berry’s chest.” As he leaned toward Seacrest, the urn tilted over and spilled ashes over Seacreast’s tuxedo.
Security soon whisked Cohen and his entourage off the carpet, while members of the Los Angeles fire department swept up the ashes, forcing some reporters on the red carpet to cut their interviews short.
