Have Justin Bieber and 'Johnson' Punk'd The World at the 'VMAs?' - Gather Celebs News Channel

<div readability="71.655202438"> <p>Justin Bieber punk'd Taylor Swift last week in the return of the Ashton Kutcher T.V. series, <em>Punk'd.</em> The original show disappeared from MTV a few years back after celebs caught on to its premise and began avoiding Kutcher because of it. Now the show has been revamped with the prank-loving Biebs doing the Ashton Kutcher honors. JB's first attempt--crashing Swift's August 23, L.A. concert--was a resounding success. The question now is: Did the Teen Dream complete a second successful episode of <em>Punk'd</em> at the <em>2011 MTV VMAs</em> with a little help from his little friend?<br/><br/><img class="sg_t" src="http://ts3.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=1043493040206&amp;id=0fc91151e9c7b5fddae42be11bc6d8b7&amp;url=http%3a%2f%2f2.bp.blogspot.com%2f-TwOAeN_4BZo%2fTdpWvK1sc1I%2fAAAAAAAABSQ%2flHHmPxBNB5E%2fs1600%2f%2525210.jpg"/>Justin Bieber did not walk the red carpet with Selena Gomez. He arrived at the <em>VMAs</em> with a friend named Johnson (Bieber). Johnson is a baby boa constrictor. And the 2 caused quite a commotion on the red carpet. In the video interview clip below, Justin chats with <em>Access Hollywood</em>'s Shaun Robinson about his new friend. When the unnecessarily alarmed Robinson asks his snake's name, Justin maintains a poker face despite the double entendre of his response.</p><p>"His name's Johnson. I'm serious," he replies, adding. "You want to hold my Johnson?" When asked why he brought Johnson to the <em>VMAs</em>, Justin retorts: "Why not?"</p><p>Intriguingly, when Robinson recovers from her needless hysteria over Johnson's presence, she asks Justin point-blank if he <em>Punk'd</em> Taylor Swift. Feigning total ignorance about the incident, he pointedly denies it. Curiouser and curiouser.</p><p>Even more curious is JB's response to Robinson mentioning his girlfriend. "Selena isn't gonna like that," blurts Robinson. "She's not gonna sit next to you."</p><p>"Selena is gonna have to like it," he insists. Yikes. Was JB just being macho or was he surreptitiously hinting that La Gomez was already in on this second episode of the new <em>Punk'd</em>. After all, the former <em>Wizards of Waverly Place</em> star is a sometime host on a new similar Disney Channel reality show called <em>Pranksters</em>. Gosh, what a coincidence.</p><p>Oh well, time will tell--eventually. You can watch the video of Justin Bieber's bizarre <em>Access Hollywood</em> interview by clicking here. In the meantime, what do you think?</p><p>© Hope Carson 2011</p><p>Hope Carson is the author of 2 books: <em>A Roaring Girl: An Interview with the Thinking Man's Hooker</em> and <em>A Thousand and One Night Stands: The Life of Jon Vincent</em>.
