USA Today says there was a very good reason why the "Buddhist monk" that Paris Hilton was seen out with last weekend was later reveled to be an actor. Because he was an actor, and the whole thing was a bit for a new TV show from Ashton Kutcher.
Like most everything she does, the event was captured by dozens of cameras. News quickly spread to London tabloids, TMZ.com, the New York Daily News and websites of the Los Angeles Times and San Francisco Chronicle, who wondered if she'd found religion or was seeking spiritual guidance.
"He's really changed my life," Hilton told paparazzi from her car, adding she offered the necklace "because the greatest gift is to give."
Turns out, as some outlets later discovered, the "mystic" was an actor named Maxie Santillan Jr., who has appeared on CSI and My Name Is Earl. And though some accused Hilton of getting Punk'd, the joke's on them: The entire scene was staged for a new show from Punk'd producer Ashton Kutcher premiering Sunday on E! (10:30 ET/PT).
Pop Fiction, an eight-episode series, is a prank show targeting paparazzi and gullible media outlets. It's made with the eager help of stars, who were the laughing stocks of Kutcher's former MTV show.
So I wonder what else lately has been faked. Is KFed wearing a fat suit? Is Ashlee Simpson’s ring a sham? Do I use my karate to fight for the disadvantaged, using my fists as weapons of justice to settle the score? I can't speak for the first two, but that last one is very very real. Hi-Ya!
(thanks to Robert for the heads up)
Ashton Kutcher is a douchebag.
I also vote for Ashton Kutcher - "Douchebag of the Century".
Actually my opinion of Ashton Kutcher just went way up. Fuck the paps. Let the joke be on them for a change.
Paris punk'd Brend()n!!! Paris punk'd Brend()n!!!
Bwahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha! you know you're a real dumbass when Paris Hilton can pull the wool over your eyes!
HAHAHAAAAAA….does that mean that Paris is smarter than the Paps?
touchy, touchy, Brendön.
She has just elevated your game, Brendön– she punk'd legitimate news agencies. Feel free to include this site with those other esteemed venues.
Also, I would do a "Punisher" on her with your mad ninja skills. Call me if you need help.
I tell you, Britney has been on the cutting edge of paparazzi-fooling for years.
First she wore that "bald wig" and made people think she shaved her head.
Then she bought those "bald crotch panties" and made people think she was flashing her naughty bits.
Then she hired Sam and Adnan to pretend they were her "boyfriends."
She's got mad hoaxing skilz, bro.
If Ass-hton doesn't have one show just for Britney, he's a wimpy little weasel weiner boy.
Soooooo….
He plays pranks on the paparazzi now?
Does this douche ever do anything useful?
Oh, wait…
Never mind, it's Kutcher…
It will also be reveiled on Asshat Kutcher's new show that Paris Hilton is a Harvard graduate with a PhD, Britney Spears is a great mother, Lindsay Lohan has never had a drop of alcohol, and Gary Coleman is in fact a 6'7" former pro-basketball player.
Amy Winehouse, however, will still be a drugged up coke whore.
It's actually a great idea.
Sure fooled me Asston! Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice must be a MTV
Yeah, I gotta admit…I don't really give a shit about Ashton Kutcher, but this is a pretty fucking brilliant idea…
The joke is really on everyone who fucking cared in the first place.
Penis
testicle…that is all.
I think this is an 'awesome' idea, as Ashton would say. Of course, the real joke is on anyone who takes this stuff that seriously, since the paps will make their money on the shots regardless.
I wonder if the rags/tv/web outlets will bother to print/air/post retractions all the time now, or if they'll just save time and put up a 'Warning: We have no idea if any of our stories are real or not, due to those nasty frauds out there…' Either way, this is great…
i think we should play a joke on Ashton and cut off Demi Moores tits.
Ashton Kutcher is a no talent ass clown.
Id say cut off his balls but most likely demi already has them - possibly as implants to her tits
