MORE 'BORAT': Sacha Baron Cohen
For the figure skater, see Sasha Cohen.


Sacha Noam Baron Cohen[1] (born 13 October, 1971) is an English comedian, writer and actor most noted for his comic characters Borat (a Kazakh reporter), Ali G (a junglist-hip hop gangsta wannabe

"I have a hunch that if I co-star in a film with Sacha, I'll get to know him a lot better than I do now," said Hoffman. "He's simply got to realize that I just don't do nude scenes."

But Cohen, who plans to put his latest award in the center of his mantelpiece "just behind my Golden Globe," made his terms clear.

"If you won't get naked, Dustin, we can't do a film together," lamented the "Borat" star, who left fiancee Isla Fisher Isla Lang Fisher (born February 3, 1976) is an Australian actress and author.

"But it would be an honor to have your balls, your Academy Award-winning balls, resting on my chin."

And where was Borat, who may try to catch some of the 35 films at the festival (www.israelfilmfestival.com) that continues until March 22?

"Coincidentally, he's getting an award at the Hezbollah film festival in Beirut recognizing his portrayal of Jews as shape-shifting wood lice," Cohen said.

The fourth annual P.S. Arts Bag Lunch at Colleen Bell's Bel-Air home on Tuesday raised $180,000 for programs that restore arts education in local public schools. It also illustrated that bag-lady trends include lots of white patent leather and alligator/crocodile creations from Fendi, Tory Burch, Chanel and Jimmy Choo.

Serious shoppers/donors made "Buy It Now" bids to bag purses stuffed with cosmetics donated by Lancome Paris. Not that all guests -- including Reese Witherspoon, Kristin Davis, Zooey Deschanel and Kerry Washington -- were on a shopping spree.

"I have my eye on a Ferragamo clutch but want to give everyone else a chance to buy it first," said Davis, who's building a house nearby.

"I just gave all my old handbags to another charity and am going to write a check to P.S. Arts without taking anything home," said Deschanel, who also donated a silver Tod's purse to the sale and ate the brown bag lunch in her car.
