On April Fool’s Day, tween star Justin Bieber ‘took over’ the Funny or Die website, appearing in several skits, poking fun at his image and spoofing popular YouTube videos with bits such as ‘Bieber Goes to the Dentist.’
Now months later, Bieber Fever has begun to wear off. So who will be the next star to dominate the comedic website?
‘Easy A’ actress Emma Stone, who says she’ll soon film some sketches for the site.
‘We’re doing a Funny or Die thing; I think I’m taking over the website. I’m flipped out,’ the 21-year-old gushed during an interview this week in Beverly Hills while promoting her upcoming comedy, out Sept. 17.
Stone -- who has had supporting roles in smaller comedies such as ‘The House Bunny,’ ‘The Rocker’ and ‘Superbad’ -- finally gets the chance to show off her funny girl chops with ‘Easy A.’ She stars as a brassy teenager who mistakenly becomes known for her sexual prowess.
Asked how similar her Funny or Die stint will be to the Bieber takeover, Stone said, ‘I’m not sure if we’re doing the exact same thing, but I know there’s a live stream interview and I’m taking over the Twitter. We are filming some stuff, but I’m not sure what,’ said the actress, who has now returned to Mississippi, where she’s in the middle of a four-month shoot for the DreamWorks drama ‘The Help.’
On Thursday, she said, she was supposed to have a day off from promoting ‘Easy A’ and shooting the new film -- until the Funny or Die crew decided to head to the South to film with her.
