Justin Bieber’s “Punk’d” Episode with Taylor Swift - Details Leaked – Spoiler Alert!

Friday, September 2, 2011

As we told you last week, the format for Ashton Kutcher’s new revamped Punk’d show on MTV will consist of a different guest host each week.

And to kick off the new season, the first guest host will be none other than teen music sensation Justin Bieber who decided to roll into Los Angeles and punk his friend Taylor Swift.

Filming for the first show went down last week between the two musicians and we have the details of what to expect when the episode airs this Fall.

The Setup:

Bieber called Swift to his Cali beach house under the ruse that he wanted her to collaborate with him in writing a “special” song for his girlfriend Selena Gomez.

Swift showed up and the two worked for a bit on the song then took a break and went out on the beach.

Justin wanted to shoot off some fireworks and he pointed them toward the ocean so nothing would get damaged.

The Prank:

Producers had setup a yacht in the water with a fake wedding party onboard including bride, groom and fake minister.

As Bieber fired off the fireworks the crew set fire to the vessel making it look like Bieber’s fireworks were what caused the fire.

Everybody on the boat jumped overboard and swam to shore and approached Justin and Taylor on the beach.

The bride and groom were upset with the two teenage singers and proceeded to yell at them while threatening to file a lawsuit and call police.

The Reveal:

Just at the point it seemed the cops were on their way and everybody was going to jail, Bieber announced that Taylor had been “Punked”.

We are told she did not cry and was not angry but that her response was classic.

Spoiler Alert:

A friend of Swift’s later said,

“I think Taylor halfway expected it. She knew Bieber was talking with MTV about doing a segment and she knows he is a prankster. But I don’t think she knew exactly what was going to happen or how it would go down - she was a bit nervous.”

I guess we’ll just have to tune in to the first episode to see how things really went down.

But don’t expect to see too much of famed prankster Ashton Kutcher onscreen during the show.

Word is he will be working behind the scenes as Executive Producer and rarely be seen on camera after the first few episodes.

Congrats MTV – we’re glad you brought the series back.

MTV Punk’d Returning with Justin Bieber? Kind of... Here’s The Deal...

Tuesday, August 30, 2011

Okay Justin Bieber fans – calm down.

Here is the latest scoop on the whole MTV Punk’d, Ashton Kutcher, and JB rumor.

As you know, several months ago MTV started talking to Ashton Kutcher about bringing back his popular Punk’d television show.

Rumor was that he was going to turn over the crown to young Bieber who would become the new host.

Well, things have changed.

In light of Kutcher’s new role on “Two and a Half Men” and Bieb’s South American Tour fast approaching there was no way that Bieber would have been able to participate in an entire season of the show.

At the end of the day producers decided to revamp the concept of the show and move forward with a new season.

It is TRUE that Bieber is involved with the project but ONLY as the first guest host prankster.

The new season will have a DIFFERENT host each week that will pull a prank on somebody and fill in as that week’s guest host.

Get it? There will be a new guest host and prankster each week.

Bieber was selected as the FIRST shows host and he decided to prank Taylor Swift.

They were both in town for the VMA’s and the plan was put into motion last week when it all went down.

We don’t know exactly what the prank was but we know it was filmed last week and is already in the can.

We don’t know yet when the premier episode will air but we do know that Kutcher will act as one of the Executive Producers for the season and will probably not be seen much on any of the shows.

So, there you have it.

Punk’d is returning and Justin Bieber will guest host the FIRST show only. After that there will be a different host each week.

“Producers wanted to leverage Justin’s popularity to help kick off the new season. So far things are going well and we can’t say anything about future shows yet. In fact, the Bieber thing leaked out – nobody was supposed to know anything about his guest spot or the new season until we were farther along.”

Okay, now we get it.

We always loved the show and were bummed when it was yanked from the schedule. We like the new concept and are sure it will be a hit and can’t wait to see who shows up each week.

Thanks MTV!
