Someone is stepping out on their lady love. Who is it? It's Sacha Baron Cohen. It's our friendly neighborhood fashion show crasher Bruno. He was photographed kissing on some girl that isn't Isla Fisher, the mother of his child. Now is he going to say, "Honey, Isla, it wasn't me, it was Borat or Bruno."

Not many men like body hair on women., but apparently Sacha Baron Cohen isn't one of those men. Isla Fisher recently confessed that she wears a fake moustache when she and Sacha are alone.
