Sacha Baron Cohen makes light of Austrian dungeon monster Joseph Fritzl, Hurricane Katrina, Princess Diana and bulimia in a series of outrageous websites for his new film Bruno.

The comedian is promoting his spoof movie about a gay Austrian fashion TV presenter.

Cohen has set up a MySpace page, a Facebook profile and a Twitter account. In them he says of his film: “It’s basically ze most important documentary made about a hot vhite guy since Passion Of Ze Christ. Check it Aus!!”

The sites all feature hilarious fashion pictures in which he poses in tight hotpants, virtually naked on a white horse and showing off his belly button.

Among his “Tvitter” updates, apparently referring to Adolf Hitler and Fritzl, who imprisoned his daughter in a dungeon for years, he wrote: “It’s St Adolf’s day in Austria! Everyone will be raising a glass to ze Austrian dream: ‘get a job, find a dungeon, raise ein family in it’.”

David Beckham’s childhood home was withdrawn from auction after failing to reach its reserve price.

Current owner Iftikhar Mehmood pulled the house out of the sale at the last minute just before the three-bed terrace closed at £214,000.

He said: “It’s just not enough, I thought I’d get far more for it.”

There were only two people showing interest in the house which Mr Mehmood has owned for several years.

He has decided to try and sell number 155 Norman Road, in Leytonstone, east London, again in the future when the housing market is more stable.

He added: “I’ll try again, it’s not that important to me.”

A similar property in neighbouring Leyton closed at £175,000 at the Savills auction.

The 34-year-old football ace lived in the house for the first two years of his life before moving to Chingford with his parents.

The house was put on the market last year for £850,000, more than three times the asking price for an identical house in the same street.

It was given a £215,000 reserve at the auction in Kensington, London.

Robin Howeson, from the auction house, said that even the cache of owning the family home of one of the world’s most famous football stars wasn’t enough to secure a solid sale.

He said: “I think people right now want something they can see the value of in bricks and mortar rather than something tangible.

“I think he’ll sell it for more but not now and not in this market.”
