Why wasn't Borat on the Oscar's show?

The producers behind Sunday's Oscars asked Sacha Baron Cohen to present an award as part of Sunday night's show, which might have added a refreshing bit of unpredictability to what is usually a staid evening -- his acceptance speech at the Golden Globes was one of the evening's highlights. But when Cohen said he wanted to appear as his character Borat Sagdiyev, reports the Los Angeles Times, the producers said no, and Cohen declined. (L.A. Times via Starpulse)

Pamela Anderson talking about Kid Rock and her appearance in Borat:

Pamela Anderson showed up on Thursday's "Howard Stern" for a little chat, and confirmed that her cameo in "Borat" had actually been a pretty big deal to Kid Rock just before they both filed for divorce. "He was unhappy about that," she told Stern. "I don't know why -- you'd have to ask him -- but he really was very unhappy about that." When Stern asked her why she married Kid Rock in the first place -- after divorcing Tommy Lee, she once said she'd never get married again -- Anderson said, "It was a big mistake, but I was in St. Tropez, I would have married the fisherman on the corner!"
