MIKE&TRICIA'S HOLLYWOOD DIRT REPORT

ON THE RED CARPET

Sacha Baron Cohen was the talk of the walk. He was allowed to stroll the red carpet after initially being dis-invited for planning to show up in his Moammar Gadhafi-like character from his upcoming film The Dictator. Cohen came in character, flanked by two flower girls, and bearing what he said were the ashes of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il. He then spilled the ashes all over Ryan Seacrest. Seacrest looked shaken as dusted he off his tuxedo. Security ushered Cohen off. Tina Fey soon quipped to Seacrest, "You're a victim of comedy." Seacrest tweeted, "My mom always told me to pack two jackets for red carpets -- now I know why."
