The Wanted Call ‘Punk’d’ Episode ‘Brilliantly Gruesome’

Posted on by

Odd Future star Tyler, the Creator will be this week’s guest host on “Punk’d,” and for one of the pranks, he got an assist from right inside the Wanted. It seems that Jay McGuiness was a bit of a “Punk’d” mole when it came to pulling one over on his pals.

“The team at ‘Punk’d’ spoke to someone on our management team in the U.S. called Nano. … Nano knew that out of the group, I enjoyed pranking the lads a lot,” the Brit explained to MTV on the set of their video for “Chasing the Sun.”

“And so we worked with their team for a couple of weeks to come up with the idea, [and] obviously we weren’t allowed to tell you anything to come up with the idea. And then on the day we filmed ‘Chelsea Lately,’ it all just slowly kicked off. It was just a brilliantly gruesome day. It was awesome.”

So, what exactly did Jay put the guys through? Well, sometime during their appearance on the show back in February, the fellas were accused of kidnapping a little girl. Once outside, they were detained by police officers and put through the ringer. Needless to say, the guys were pretty scared.

“When you get accused of kidnapping, it’s the worst feeling in your life,” Tom Parker explained. “[I was thinking,] ‘I’m going to prison for the rest of my life in America.’ ”

While they tease they are working on getting Jay back, they actually have their sights set on another teen idol: their pal Justin Bieber. “You know who you really want to punk next? Bieber,” Parker explained. “Because he claims he’s un-punkable, and this could be something that we need to set up.”

On the season premiere of “Punk’d,” Bieber pranked the likes of Taylor Swift, Sean Kingston and Miley Cyrus. So far, none of those folks have gotten vengeance on the singer. This week’s episode will also include Tyler punking “90210″ star Shenae Grimes and E! reality star Scott Disick.

“Punk’d” airs at 10 ET/PT (9 Central) tonight on MTV.

‘Degrassi’ Cast Look To Drake, Nina Dobrev For Career Models

Posted on by

“Degrassi” has become quite the starting-off point for some of the biggest stars on the planet. It launched this little-known rapper who goes by Drake and two of the CW’s biggest stars, “Vampire Diaries” actress Nina Dobrev and “90210″ star Shenae Grimes.

So, when several of the classic franchise’s new class stopped by MTV News, we wondered just which alum’s career path they’d love to follow.

“I’d love to do this, all the time. I just love to do acting,” Munro Chambers told us just as the new season of the show was hitting TeenNick, before joking, “I’d love to be Nina. I’d love to do more stuff in this industry and keep doing it.”

He added that while he hasn’t met all those famous alums, when he has crossed paths with someone from the show’s past, they’ve always been quite warm to their time on it. “I’ve never met Drake, or Aubrey [Graham] as we know him. I’ve never met Shenae,” he said. “And, I’ve met Nina once or twice and she’s a sweetheart.”

Chambers’ co-star Annie Clark would also love to take a play from the Dobrev handbook. ” Nina and Shenae have what I would like [to follow] for the future,” she shared. “[Nina] always remembers everyone too. The set is very homey and friendly, so it’s kind of like going back to your actual high school.”
“I’d love to like try and stay in school,” Alex Steele shared. “But I’d also really love to do shows, like Nina Dobrev, [who] has her own show basically.”

While Nina seems to be the gold standard in terms of post-”Degrassi” careers, Jordan Todosey suggested she wouldn’t mind going the Drake route. “I love acting, so I’d love to stay in acting,” she said. “But music is such a passion of mine and I write songs and sing, so I think it’d be so much fun to break into the music industry too.”
