Get More: Punk'd, Full Episodes

As reported by The Boot, "This is completely not OK!" screams Taylor Swift on a commercial previewing the hidden-camera TV show, 'Punk'd.' "This is like, gonna put me in a jail cell forever!" The wildly popular MTV program is back for a new season on March 29, with Taylor as one its celebrity victims. The culprit in the country superstar's episode is none other than her good friend (and her best friend's boyfriend), Justin Bieber.

The pop prince reportedly faked a songwriting session at a beach-side home in southern California and asked Taylor to come write with him. Taking a break from their music, he convinces her to check out fireworks he claimed to have gotten from Japan. That's when the incredibly elaborate prank fires up ... literally.

The fireworks shoot out into the ocean and hit a boat, on which a "wedding" is taking place. The bride, groom and guests -- all actors -- are forced to swim to shore, where they confront Taylor. "Thanks for ruining the best day of my life!" the "groom" says to the singer in the second video below.

'Punk'd' was started by actor Ashton Kutcher and producer Jason Goldberg back in 2003. Now in its ninth season, the show still lists Ashton as the executive producer but has turned hosting duties over to different celebrities for each episode. Joining Justin as pranksters this season include Miley Cyrus and Kelly Osbourne. Victims include Demi Lovato and Khloe Kardashian...read more

A police spokesman says that attempts were made to resuscitate Whitney Houston, after she was found unresponsive in her suite on the fourth floor of the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.

The singer was found dead at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, where she was most likely due to attend the annual Clive Davis Grammy party being held at the hotel.

According to celebrity website TMZ the singer was found in a bath tub and prescription drugs were in the room. An autopsy will establish whether she drowned, whether drugs were involved, or whether there was another cause.

"They found her unresponsive. They attempted life-saving resuscitation measures, unfortunately they were not successful and at approximately 3:55pm (23:55 GMT) Whitney Houston was pronounced dead at the Beverly Hilton Hotel," said Lieutenant Mark Rosen, spokesman for the Beverly Hills Police Department.

"We'll conclude our investigation, I don't know how long that will take and we'll take possession of Miss Houston's body and they will also conduct their own investigation."

From the middle 1980s to the late 1990s, Houston was one of the world's bestselling artists.

She wowed audiences with effortless, powerful and peerless vocals that were rooted in the black church but made palatable to the masses with a pop sheen. ...READ MORE

Otaku goddess Amber Ann topped the Five Music album sales chart on its first week. With a 48-page photo book free with the preorder version, it sure got the otakus rushing to buy the album. However, some netizens suspected Amber’s company of buying the placement on the chart since her album was just released on the 26th; many found it hard to believe that the album would get first place after just one day of sales.

Amber’s record company Wonderful Music emphasized, “We never pay to get first place on the sales charts. We started selling the album a day earlier (25th) at Five Music’s retail locations. Furthermore, instead of charging the regular price of $400 TWD, we sold the album for $299 and it comes with a free poster. It was a great bargain for the fans.”
