Opening Scene From 'The Dictator' Is Totally Aladeen

Sacha Baron Cohen has pulled a lot of stunts in his time, but as the official opening scene from his new comedy "The Dictator" shows, he's never pulled a stunt this big before: Changing the entire English language.

Now it looks like their return to movies, the comedy "He Loves Me," is coming into focus with an even more left-field cast than "Little Miss." Get More »
