Pop Fiction returned last night after two weeks in hiding with little fun and little celebrities. Apparently they took two weeks off to plan the most amazing pranks ever with the biggest named celebs! Um no, they didn’t as the two “celebrities” appearing this week were both reality stars. Audrina Partridge from ‘The Hills’ was up first. We all know she’s bee in the news for having nude pictures over the web so I was wondering how exactly she could do anything to top that. What they had her do was go to a tattoo parlor where she was to get a fake tattoo of several Chinese symbols. The symbols were supposed to mean ‘chicken and rice’ and she was supposed to act as if it meant something different.

I thought the stunt was clever but they really could not pull it off. She had a ton of paparazzi watching her get the tattoo but another ‘celebrity’ Billy Zane appeared next door and stole all her thunder. Even the guy filming for Pop Fiction went to film Billy Zane! Once he went into the restaurant though they all hounded back to Audrina. She quickly flashed her tattoo and ran out the door with it covered, denying the chance to take a good picture of it. In the end the paparazzi believed she did get a tattoo, but nobody really cared what it meant and it ended up that it wasn’t that big of a deal. That was only strike out number one.

Next up was Lisa Rinna who appeared on ‘Dancing With the Stars’. What she wanted to do was a fake ‘love affair’ with a much younger guy. Her husband was in on the act and basically ruined it in the end. She seemed way to excited though and basically did seem like she was acting the entire time. Lisa grabbed her new ‘guy’ and they went out in Malibu. The only thing they really did was drive around and then kiss a few times in a Malibu hotel balcony. There were only three paparazzi there so it was kind of pointless as she doesn’t get anywhere near the amount that other people do. The prank basically failed as her husband didn’t act angry as they planned. Rather he pulled out the pictures of his wife and the younger guy to show the paparazzi the next night that it was fake. Way to ruin it Mark.

I must say I’m very disappointed with the show. First it goes away for two weeks and now it’s failing miserablly to attract big name celebs that can create viral stories. Good luck to Pop Fiction, I think they really need it.

A few weeks ago a little reality show came along to play with the minds of the paparazzi. But after two weeks of shenanigans, Pop Fiction is no where to be found on E! or the TV Guide listings for the channel. The website is saying new episodes are supposed to air Sundays at 10:30, yet for the past two weeks the show has been MIA. I’m wondering exactly what’s going on with the show that broke new ground on the media stake out. Are they waiting for the perfect opportunity to pop back up and surprise us when we least expect it? Or are celebrities just not turning out like Ashton Kutcher had hoped? One thing is for sure. Pop Fiction is MIA and nobody really knows where it has gone to. Hopefully it’s just building up for a huge prank fest, or it could have just sizzled out like several other shows that have come before it.

On the latest episode of Pop Fiction, the punking celebrities fool the paparazzi once again! First up was Eva Longoria and her best friend Mario Lopez. Recently in the tabloids they have been saying she and Mario have been more then “just friends” so she decided to push that idea a little more further. The two first went to a store together where she tried on clothing and he helped her decide what to pick. Apparently it was supposed to show they were together but to me it wasn’t that obvious they were trying to do that at all. The only real thing they did was hug at one point, what great actors. Next up they went to lunch in an outdoor restaurant where things finally got a little more juicier. Here Mario gave Eva a necklace which seemed rather expensive. When a paparazzi asked if it was “a gift between friends” Mario simply said “kind of” which probably sent off the red flags that they were hoping for. In the end the story made the news but not the headlines, unlike Paris’ latest guru stint.

Second in the wings to fool the press was David Spade. He doesn’t get much press at all so I’m surprised they used him but it was atleast amusing to watch. He met up with a “bride at her bachelorette party” and helped her and her posse get into a club. Not much was really shown about what happened in the club but their exit sure caused a stir. David left the club with the bride in his hand and they left together as her posse screamed at the car. There was some unneeded over acting on the part of the bride and her crew but apparently it was pulled off well enough to fool the press as they scooped up the story and it was on all the late night entertainment shows.

Hopefully next week has some more big named stars and hopefully they have better actors since well, this weeks kind of sucked.
