Pauly Shore has contacted his lawyer and is planning to take legal action against Sacha Baron Cohen for allegedly stealing the idea for his upcoming movie Adopted in Bruno. Aww, how cute. I didn't know Pauly Shore made a movie.

In Bruno, Cohen's outlandish character collects an African baby out of a box on an airport baggage carousel before turning to the camera and saying, "Angelina's got one, Madonna's got one, now Bruno's got one," in a gag joking about stars who adopt foreign children.

And now director Shore alleges the scene bears a striking resemblance to the trailer and tagline for his new film, Adopted - a comedy about the public's obsession with celebrity babies. (Source)

You have to admit, that's pretty low of Sacha Baron Cohen to steal a totally original joke about celebrity adoptions like that. I just hope no other comedian thieves catch on to Pauly Shore's other brilliant observational jokes about Scientology and Michael Jackson's relationship with kids. Oops, actually scratch that last one.
