Justin Bieber to Host New Version of MTV's 'Punk'd'

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 5th 2010 02:35PM

Although Ashton Kutcher announced he was retiring 'Punk'd' back in 2007, Justin Bieber has been officially tapped to be host MTV's rebooted version of the celebrity hidden-camera series. According to Vulture, Bieber will be the one leading the charge, pulling a few pranks while Kutcher will serve as executive producer of the show via his Katalyst Entertainment production company.

Kutcher retired from 'Punk'd' in 2007, Vulture reports, but sources at MTV said that the network was always looking to bring the franchise back.

Sources claim the show's return is likely in the relatively near future once final details -- like how filming will fit into Bieber's schedule -- are worked out.

In its first run, the show played pranks on the likes of Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Katie Holmes, Matthew Perry and dozens of other celebs. Wonder who will be Bieber's first "victim"?

It is impossible to fall out of love. Love is such a powerful emotion, that once it envelops you it does not depart. True love is eternal. If you think that you were once in love, but fell out of it, then it wasn't love you were in. There are no 'exit' signs in love, there is only an 'on' ramp.

Good grief, is this girl still around? She can't sing, she can't act, who does she know?

Justin Bieber is way too gay to pull off a new version of Punk'd. Following Ashton Kutcher, those are some big shoes to fill and that little nellie Justin wears a size 3 or 4 I would imagine. He is such a girl, like give him a show like Fashion Police and maybe he could do that OK, although probably not as I think that Joan Rivers doesn't much like the Bieb either. Maybe he could just stay home and play with his Biebers, I mean Barbies!
