The upcoming Sacha Baren Cohen film “Bruno” has gotten wrapped up in the hysteria surrounding Michael Jackson’s death, EW.com reports.

The trouble began when fans could not see Jackson’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last night due to the Los Angeles premiere of the film.  Then, right before the movie began, the filmmakers made a last-minute edit to remove a scene featuring Jackson’s sister, LaToya Jackson.

In the scene, Bruno “interrogated her about her brother Michael and tried surreptitiously to find Michael’s number on her cellphone.”  It’s unclear if the clip will make it back into the film before it opens in theaters July 10.

Tweeters commented on the events:

    williambgoss hasn’t seen Bruno yet (natch), but cutting out a Michael Jackson joke sounds like an awfully P.C. choice to make with such an P.I. movie…
