We smell a hit!

Ed Sheeran is big in the UK and is now making a splash in the US thanks to his hit single “The A Team.” His debut album + is set to finally release here in the US on June 12.

While we’re awaiting the release, it looks like Ed could be working on his next album already…or helping another big star with her next album. Taylor Swift tweeted today, “Eating cheeseburgers, scribbling on guitars, writing songs with @edsheeran.”

Ed also tweeted, “In and out burger, defacing guitars and writing music with @taylorswift13.”

We cannot wait to hear what they come up with. We hope it makes it onto someone’s album.

Taylor Swift’s “Mean” to Get the “Glee” Treatment + “Prom-asaurus” Preview (Video)

At long last, one of Taylor Swift’s hit songs is coming to “Glee”. But which one?

Dot Marie Jones, who plays Coach Beiste, revealed to E! News, “I do not proclaim to be any kind of singer, [but] in episode 20 Coach Beiste will sing Taylor Swift’s “Mean” with Puck.”

Looks like Coach Beiste will be standing up for herself after learning last episode that she’s been a victim of domestic violence.

E! also learned there will be a fun body-switching episode. “Tina falls in a fountain in a mall and wakes up and everybody is someone else and it was the best thing ever,” executive producer Ian Brennan previews. “Tina becomes Rachel, Kurt becomes Finn, Puck becomes Blaine, it’s the greatest! Naya as Kevin is hilarious, and then Kevin as Naya is hilarious and Harry as Joe Hart…Harry in dreads is literally the funniest thing ever.”

That sounds so fun! Monday is the big prom episode entitled “Prom-asaurus” which will feature the guys covering One Direction’s hit “What Makes You Beautiful” and a cover of Selena Gomez’s “Love You Like a Love Song.” We can’t wait!

“Punk’d”: Justin Bieber Fails to Punk Rob Dyrdek But Turns the Tables on Miley Cyrus (Video)

MTV’s “Punk’d” is back in full swing, and last night’s premiere was a good one.

This season is different from past seasons. Each week, a new celebrity will guest host the show since now that social media is so big, it’d be hard for one person to carry it out like Ashton Kutcher used to do. Remember how once The Wanted got punk’d a few months ago, it was already all over the internet.

Justin Bieber served as the first host for the new season and decided to target Taylor Swift, Rob Dyrdek, and Miley Cyrus. To prank Taylor, Justin invited her to Malibu for a writing session for his Christmas album. After Taylor arrived, Justin and his pal Ry Good decided to play with some fireworks they got from Japan.

After setting a few off, Justin convinces Taylor to give it a try and BAM – one lands on a boat where a wedding is happening. The boat catches fire and the passengers abandon ship. The look of terror on Taylor’s face as the bride and groom was ashore is so good. Everyone then tries to figure out what is going on, the police and coast guard “are called” and the bride starts to rethink everything saying maybe all this was a sign.

You can tell that Taylor is really upset at the thought she just ruined a wedding and she starts pacing and going inside and out all while on the verge of tears. Finally Justin reveals she’s been punk’d and Taylor can’t believe it. She goes, “I thought I was going to be rotting in a jail cell because Justin Bieber made me push a button.”

After the show premiered, Taylor tweeted, “Well played, @justinbieber. I was truly terrified.”

Justin’s next target, Rob Dyrdek didn’t go so well. After sitting down for a meeting at a restaurant, a couple starts bickering next to Rob’s table. Rob is smart and figures out the couple is way over the top and jokes about if he’s being punk’d. This sends the control room into panic forcing Justin to reveal himself. Justin and Rob then decide to team up to get Sean Kingston instead with the same setup. Sean isn’t as quick to figure it out and ends up getting punk’d.

Justin’s last target is Miley Cyrus and for the first time, he attempts to punk someone who thinks they’re doing the punking. Miley thinks she’s punking Justin by setting him up to get into an argument with some angry skaters over parking in their skating area. Justin decides to really get into it by starting a fight with the guys and “kicking” one in the stomach. Miley and everyone in the control room start freaking out because they didn’t expect it to go that far. As Justin runs away, Miley comes out and genuinely thinks Justin is upset and mad. She keeps saying all she wants to do is call him and give him a hug.

Finally, Justin re-enters the area yelling “you can’t punk me!” Miley realizes she’s been set up and goes after Justin in a playful way. Justin says to her, did you really think I was badass?

If you missed the premiere episode, watch it below. Which of the three pranks was your favorite?

Also below, watch the preview for next week’s episode where Bam Margera punks Ronnie from “Jersey Shore,” Tyler Posey, and Tyler the Creator. Stay tuned because Miley will be returning as a host later this season.
