'Punk'd' is Back! But Who's Behind the Hidden Camera Celebrity Pranks Now?

Filed under: TV News, The Show Girl, Celebrities and Gossip

Ashton Kutcher has a very high-profile new gig on 'Two and a Half Men,' but the celebrity prank show that helped put him on the map is making a comeback with someone else at the helm.

That's right: 'Punk'd' is back at MTV, according to Access Hollywood, and tween pop idol Justin Bieber is behind the elaborate hidden camera surprises for the first new episode.

Last year, rumor had it that Bieber was in talks to be the show's permanent new host, but now MTV is mixing things up, having a different celebrity act as host for each episode.

So who did the Biebs punk on Friday in Los Angeles for his episode? None other than his pal Taylor Swift, just days after he joined her on stage at her "Speak Now" tour stop in L.A. to perform a duet of his hit song 'Baby.'
