Jan Wahl, the greatest wide-brim hat wearing Bay Area on-air talent of all time, gives Sacha Baron Cohen's , the film version of his popular fictional gay Austrian fashion reporter, a dismal review. Claiming that it enforces stereotypes of gay men, Wahl chides the satire for its "gross-out sex jokes," saying that it "will cause all kinds of bad things to children who are already bullied. ... it will cause real problems that we will not hear about and will not happen in the Bay Area." Which, yes, it will be a rich source of material insofar as playground taunting goes. Anyway, Wahl goes on to give the film no hats. "NO hats?!?!" the stunned KCBS reporter exclaims. That's right, no hats. Listen to the review in its entirety here.)

Jan Wahl Slams Bruno
Paula Abdul Punked by Sacha Baron Cohen
We don't know about you, but we're seriously looking forward to the July 10 release of Bruno, the latest Sacha Baron Cohen mockumentary about a gay Austrian fashion correspondent creating Borat-like confusion around the U.S. And yes, there's been a huge PR blitz in recent weeks, but we don't care. In the news this week (besides that whole episode with Eminem at the MTV Movie Awards), was Paula Abdul showing up on Letterman doing pre-movie-release damage control after she, too, got hoodwinked into appearing in the film -- all while seated on the backs of two Mexican laborers. The full trailer for the movie, after the jump.
