SPOILER ALERT:
in Bruno's newly purchased LA home where he wants to interview celebs for his new show, his assistant forgets to buy furniture. So he hires mexicans to be furniture (on their hands and knees, think human piano benches). He brings in Paula Abdul for an interview, and she is appalled when Bruno tells her to sit down. She eventually storms out.
CUT TO:
LaToya laughing and conversing with Bruno while she sits on the mexican guy. Numerous times over the course of the conversation, the camera pans to the mexican's face, who's expression shows he is struggling to hold up LaToya. LaToya even eats from a tray of food laying on another mexicans back. Bruno asks her if she could pretend to be Michael for the camera, which she refuses. He asks to look at her phone and the pictures on it, and she hands it over. He then starts yelling in German, obviously what sounds like numbers, and we see Lutz the assistant writing them down in a notebook, before LaToya catches whats going on and gets mad.

It was a glorious scene.
