Borat Comes to Rudy Giuliani’s Defense: It Was “Innocent Sexy-Time”
On Wednesday, word got out that Sacha Baron Cohen caught Rudy Giuliani attempting to seduce his “15-year-old daughter” in his upcoming Borat sequel, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm.

The scene that started this whole debacle occurs near the film’s end. When 24-year-old actress Maria Bakalova (playing the role of Borat’s 15-year-old daughter Tutar Sagdiyev) sits down for an interview with Giuliani in a New York City hotel room, she eventually invites him into the next room for a drink. Giuliani tells Tutar to “come here” as they enter the room, then he sits on the bed, begins touching her back, and asks for her phone ...

Small details, like stitching and tapering, were key to telling the story of Charlie’s three powerhouse ladies Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu, who played private investigators Dylan, Natalie, and Alex. “The clothes also had to be very functional because they did all these karate kicks and had to fly through the air and stuff,” costume designer Joe Aulisi tells MTV News. From stretchy fabrics to knee-high boots, whether they were fighting evil with high-flying martial arts moves while...
