Hairspray to get Punk’d?

Friday, August 3rd, 2007

Now that the “Hairspray” craze is finally dying down, we have some MTV-related news to report on. While on the set, director Adam Shankman frequently played practical jokes on the cast. He tried to convince them that they were on the MTV show “Punk’d,” and even tricked the movie’s star into thinking she didn’t get the part after all:

[Nikki Blonsky, "Hairspray star"] says, “I would come to the set and go, ‘There is no way I’m really here, you guys! Did I really get the part? Am I really here?’

“Then one day, [the director] looked at me and said, ‘I just want to let you know, we’re punking you. It’s probably the most expensive Punk’d in the history of Punk’d.’ I was like, ‘Wait. Are you serious?’ “

Mean! At least it didn’t turn out to actually be an episode of Punk’d, that would just be cruel. To see more pictures of Nikki Blonsky, Zac Efron, and Amanda Bynes at TRL, click “read the rest of this entry.”

TRL Goes Gay

Don’t get your hopes up, it was just to feature the new movie “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.” Jessica Biel, Adam Sandler, and Kevin James all headed down to the Times Square studios yesterday to promote the film.

Evidently, there’s a whole lot of armpit-smelling in this movie, because that’s what half the pictures showcase. It looks like the cast genuinely had a good time with audience, but who knows if the movie will be a success.

Of course, I’ve got more crazy pictures for you after the jump. Just click (say it with me…) “read the rest of this entry.”
