‘Bruno’ Smacks ‘Himbos’ in Velcro Lawsuit
A guy who claimed Sacha Baron Cohen ripped off his idea for the Velcro scene in “Bruno” couldn’t get the lawsuit to stick in court … TMZ has learned.
According to documents just filed in federal court in California, a judge ruled that the “Bruno” scene didn’t have enough in common with a scene from an unmade movie called “Himbos” … in which some dude was also supposed to don a Velcro suit and wreak havoc at a fashion show.
As a result, the case was just dismissed — making it the 487,007,784th legal victory for Cohen and his lawsuit-inducing mega-flicks.
