Sacha Baron Cohen “Ashes” Ryan Seacrest (VIDEO)

Getting “Punk’d” is so last year. Last night, Ryan Seacrest found himself in the crosshairs of prankster Sacha Baron Cohen. Dressed as a character from his new movie—King Aladeen—Cohen was carrying an urn, which held the ashes of “his late doubles partner” Kim Jong Il, as he stopped to chat on the Oscars red carpet.  The Borat star was happy to chat with Seacrest when he stopped him, and Seacrest looked happy too—until Cohen suddenly dumped the urn all over Seacret’s tuxedo.  Seacrest handled it well but was clearly not interested in laughing along with the prank. He seemed a little too shocked to come up with a good comeback though Cohen had one ready: “Now when somebody asks what you are wearing,” he told Seacrest while being escorted away, “you can tell them a Kim Jong Il.”
