Sacha Baron Cohen can probably expect some more lawsuits from angry Americans after more unwitting spectators became part of the British comedian's latest dupe for his upcoming film "Bruno", based on the character he created on his "Da Ali G" show.

This time around, Cohen unleashed Bruno upon a fired-up crowd of hillbilly cage-fightin' fans. What could possibly go wrong?:

"Lured by $1 beer and the prospect of "hot chicks" and "hardcore fights," thousands of Arkansans were duped last month into appearing as extras in comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's latest staged mayhem. Cohen and his confederates organized cage fighting programs on consecutive days in Texarkana and Fort Smith. Both cards ended with two male grapplers (one was identified as "Straight Dave" and wore camouflage) tearing each other's clothes off and, while in underwear, kissing down their opponent's chest."

Thank God this took place in Arkansas. Imagine what would have happened if Cohen had picked a homophobic locale? Oh, wait...:

The audience, as well as local fighters drawn to take part in the show, became enraged. “It set the crowd off lobbing beers,” [Fort Smith police Sgt. Adam] HollandHolland said. “They had beers in plastic cups. Those things can get some distance on them actually."

Actually, indeed.

The picture of Miami Herald writer Greg Cote does not have the same effect. For now. [Busted Coverage]

Life is...Too Short:: Saints running back Reggie Bush takes some time out of his busy day of working out and Kardashianing to kick back at Vegas club Rehab with rapper Too Short. Big Daddy Kane and DJ Quik were probably out rollin' in their 6-4's or something. [NFL Juiced]

Yeah, Ripken, you suck: Or so says Real Clear Sports, who listed Ironman Cal as #10 on its "Top 10 Worst MLB All-Stars" listicle. An ignominious list if ever there was one featuring the likes of Cesar Itzuris, Freddie Patek and others. Sadly, no Tyler Green. [Real Clear Sports]

Tiger Woods' niece is also pretty good at this golfing thing: Meet Cheyenne Woods, niece of Tiger. She not only shares her uncle's facial features, but also his golfing ability. Cheyenne has so far in her short career won the American Junior Golf Association Nike Golf Junior, the Big I Junior Classic and two U.S. Kids Golf World Championships. She'll attend Wake Forest University this fall to study, work on her game, and forge her inevitable path to national Swooshdom. [Sports By Brooks]
