5 Dove Cameron Songs That Whisk Me Away to Escapist Fantasies
The same can be said about her latest release, "Remember Me." In an interview with POPSUGAR, the songstress opened up about the rapt single and its gist of cradling fond memories. "Life is just like a series of things coming to an end," Cameron said. "We live in a sort of constant state of mourning over the things that we love, but are always leaving us, or always dying, or always venting, and 'Remember Me' is a bit of an expression of that. It's a bit of a, 'I will only be this beautiful, this young, this healthy, this vibrant right now, and will never be more beautiful and in my prime than I am right now.' And while I'm aware of that, I also know that it's ending and that this is fleeting."
Obviously, I'm looking forward to Cameron's upcoming album. We don't know when it will drop yet, but we're fully prepared for the journey she's going to take us through. Thankfully, we have a handful of jams to hold us over until the LP makes its way onto our playlists. Listen to Cameron's best songs ahead and read how they transport us to an imaginative world.

Sophie Turner Hopes Her New Show Helps People With Depression "Feel Less Alone"
Following the end of Game of Thrones last year, Sophie Turner is stepping into new territory with Quibi's Survive. The thriller - which is part of the streaming service's "movies in chapters" - follows a young woman named Jane (Turner) who suffers from depression, anxiety, and PTSD. After getting released from a rehabilitation facility called Lifehouse, Jane makes the decision to end her life during her plane ride home. However, after the plane crashes and leaves her and another passenger named Paul (Corey Hawkins) stranded in the snow, she must fight to stay alive.
After starring on Game of Thrones for eight seasons, Turner had no qualms about jumping right back into another series. "My background and my heart always lies in television," the 24-year-old actress told POPSUGAR. "Since I started on Thrones, television has been elevated to another quality level that we hadn't really seen before, so there's a huge appeal in continuing to do TV because the material that there is to work with is just so delicious now."
When it comes to Survive in particular, Turner added that the show felt like a new challenge because of Quibi's bite-size format. "I think simply the fact that Survive is shown in 10-minute episodes, which is certainly a challenge for any project to convey enough story, enough emotion in those few minutes to keep a person entertained," she said.
"This girl who wanted to die so badly ends up fighting for a life that she never wanted to live in the first place."
Additionally, she was really drawn to how the show depicts mental illness onscreen. "What drew me to the script was the way that mental illness was written so accurately in my opinion," she said. "It felt real to me. I also loved the notion that this girl who wanted to die so badly ends up fighting for a life that she never wanted to live in the first place."
Just like her character, Turner has been very open about her own battles with depression and anxiety. While she admitted that playing Jane wasn't "necessarily therapeutic for [her] illnesses specifically," it was comforting knowing "that the more accurately we depict mental illness in film and TV, the more people it will help." She added that she hopes her character and the show make "people feel less alone, but not only that, I hope that the story of this girl finding something to live for helps others find the ability to do that, too."

Am I the Only One Who Thinks Selena Gomez's New Video Looks Like The Weeknd's "Heartless"?
Rare album, the 27-year-old released the music video for "Boyfriend" on Friday. Aside from the fact that it immediately took us back to her Wizards of Waverly Place days, it also reminded us a lot of The Weeknd's "Heartless" video. Coincidence?
Gomez and The Weeknd famously dated for seven months in 2017. Earlier this week, she debuted a song called "Souvenir," which seems to have The Weeknd written all over it. Could Gomez be sending us a message with her new video? See all the similarities between Gomez's "Boyfriend" and The Weeknd's "Heartless" videos ahead.

Just Like Us, Sophie Turner Is Superexcited For Joe Jonas's Quibi Show: "I'm So Proud of Him"
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are joining forces for the new streaming service Quibi. While the actress currently stars on her own Quibi series, Survive, she's also set to make a guest appearance on his upcoming show, Cup of Joe, which premieres on April 27. The eight-part travel series - which was inspired by Jonas's Instagram of the same name - follows the singer as he goes around the world with various celebrity guests, including Turner and his brothers, Nick and Kevin.
While chatting with POPSUGAR about Survive, Turner gave Cup of Joe her seal of approval as she discussed which Quibi shows she's most looking forward to checking out. "I'm so excited to see Chrissy's Court because I'm a sucker for those kind of shows," she said. "And, of course, I'm excited to see my husband's show, Cup of Joe, because I think it's such a fun show with incredible people in incredible cities, and Joe is born for this kind of content. I'm so proud of him!"
This isn't the first time Jonas and Turner have shared the screen. When the Jonas Brothers reunited in February 2019, the band's wives were front and center for their "Sucker" music video. The J Sisters also made a special appearance in their latest music video for "What a Man Gotta Do." We certainly can't wait to see which city they travel to on Cup of Joe!

Netflix Is Blessing Us With Season 2 of Dead to Me Next Month
Image Source: Everett Collection
Netflix is giving us all what we want, need, and deserve while social distancing: season two of Dead to Me. The streaming service just announced that the dark comedy's highly anticipated second installment will premiere on May 8, one year (and five days, to be exact) after we were first introduced to Jen and Judy, played by Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini, respectively. Oh, and that also just so happens to be a Friday, so consider your plans for the following weekend sorted.
To refresh your memory on what went down during the first season, Jen is struggling to solve the hit-and-run murder of her husband when she meets Judy in a support group. Despite their polar-opposite attitudes, the two form an unlikely friendship, and Judy winds up moving into Jen's guest house after calling it quits with her emotionally abusive ex-fiancA(c), Steve (played by James Marsden). But Judy is grappling with a huge secret: she's the one responsible for the death of Jen's husband, and Steve encouraged her to flee the scene. She eventually admits this to Jen, and next thing we know, Jen appears to shoot Steve in their backyard, leaving us with quite the bloody cliffhanger.

It looks like season two will be similarly packed with drama. According to an official synopsis shared by Netflix, "Picking up in the aftermath of that bloody backyard reveal, the irrepressible pair once again struggle to keep their secrets buried. With a surprising new visitor in town and Detective Perez (Diana Maria Riva) hot on their heels, Jen and Judy take drastic measures to protect their loved ones and each other - no matter the cost." Watch the official teaser below, and be sure to mark your calendars for May 8. The countdown begins!

Selena Gomez Goes Back to Her Wizard Ways by Turning Dates Into Frogs in "Boyfriend" Video
Selena Gomez's new music video is a prime example of celebrities being just like us. In the song "Boyfriend," one of the three new tracks the singer included in the deluxe edition of her album Rare, Gomez sings all about the frustrations that come with dating, finding the right partner, and dealing with the frogs we get in between. "There's a difference between a want and a need/sometimes I just want more than me," she sings in the electric-pop pre-chorus. "I know there's a fine line between/It's not what I need but . . . I want a boyfriend." Honestly, she's preaching to the choir here.
Taking her lyrics to the next level, Gomez stages a series of dates in her music video that prove, even when you're a gorgeous, multimillionaire, chart-topping artist, dating is the worst. But instead of dealing with her no-good duds, the singer takes another route and turns them all into frogs. Not exactly the usual way to deal with a bad date, but we have to admire her proactive spirit! We could totally imagine Wizards of Waverly Place's Alex Russo doing the same. Maybe the next one will make it to date number two without turning green. Watch the video above!
I Kan't Stop Kracking Up at This Keeping Up With the Kardashians Spoof
If you don't already religiously watch Benito Skinner's videos, his latest sketch will certainly make you smash that "Subscribe" button on his YouTube page. The comedian just shared an Emmy-worthy spoof of Keeping Up With the Kardashians' season 18 trailer, and yes, it includes *that* infamous brawl between Kim and Kourtney.
A few highlights from the four-minute parody? The hair and makeup is positively on-point - I mean, could that Kris Jenner wig possibly be more accurate? Plus, Benito totally nails Kourtney's tone of voice and facial expressions (or lack thereof) while saying very Kourtney-esque things like, "Kim is just being really rude" and "Mason is turning 10 for the 12th year in a row." Plus, there are cameos by Larsa Pippen and Mason Disick - well, y'know, Benito pretending to be them.

I'm Telling You, If You Watch 1 Episode of the Punk'd Reboot, Let It Be Megan Thee Stallion's
Image Source: Quibi
On April 6, the reboot of MTV's Punk'd officially launched on Quibi with three wild episodes. Hosted by Chance the Rapper, the installments feature hilarious (and somewhat painful) clips of Adam DeVine, Liza Koshy, and Megan Thee Stallion getting pranked. We definitely enjoyed the practical jokes played on DeVine and Koshy, but Megan Thee Stallion's segment is the best one yet.
In the video, the 25-year-old Houston native is heated when she finds out her friend EJ "lost" her beloved French bulldog, 4oe. EJ and a designated driver, Ali, pick up Megan so they can look for the pup. Thankfully, an anonymous caller (*cough* Chance *cough*) tells EJ that he has 4oe, and they can get the frenchie from his office. The only thing is, there's a giant gorilla casually chilling in a cage outside of the building. When EJ retrieves the dog and is walking back to the car, the gorilla breaks free and wreaks havoc. Here's a little peek at the madness:
Image Source: Quibi
Unbeknownst to Megan, everyone is in on the joke. Oh, and the gorilla is totally fake, even though it looks pretty legit. But before we get to the reveal, we see Megan have a total meltdown as she's taken on a roller coaster of emotions. From start to finish, the clip is filled with hilarious moments that we can't stop replaying. If you're on the fence about Quibi, we highly recommend checking it out, if only for this Punk'd episode. Ahead, read the funniest bits from the prank on our favorite hot girl, then catch a glimpse of the show in the teasers!
When Megan is livid after EJ tells her 4oe is lost: "WHERE IS HE? Where's my motherf*cking dog?!"
When Megan hears they have to walk to the back of the house to get the dog: "Walk around the back? Bring my dog to the front . . . Now we gotta go to a back of a building with a n*gga we don't know to get 4oe."
When Megan sees the caged gorilla but doesn't let EJ off the hook: "Get your ass out the car. EJ, this is what you got us in . . . You gon' have to make a choice. You need to go get my dog."
When Ali "warns" a bystander about the gorilla on the loose: "White man, yo, it's a gorilla, fam . . . Make yourself big, white man!"
When Megan locks the car doors as soon as the bystander tries to get in: "No, no, no, no, no. HELL NAH."
When Ali shuts down Megan's idea to call the police: "You can't call the police on no gorilla!"
When Megan calls the police anyway: "Hello? Ma'am, I am in LA. It's a gorilla. He's gonna break the door."
When Megan finds out she's on Punk'd: "I'm Megan Thee Stallion, and I just pissed myself."

Netflix's Spicy New Dating Series Asks the Impossible of Sexy Singles: Keep Your Pants On
Netflix's newest dating show has been revealed, but if you're expecting the sweet romance of Love Is Blind, you might want to take a minute. The premise of Too Hot to Handle is deceivingly simple: round up a group of young, sexy singles on a gorgeous island to meet and mingle. From the looks of the preview, they've got that down. But nothing comes without a price, and as these singles learn theirs pretty quickly - to stay on the island and win a $100,000 grand prize, they'll have to give up all forms of sexual contact - including self-gratification. They can't even kiss!
Considering how we counted no less than four smooches in the trailer alone, it's safe to say these guests aren't the best when it comes to restraint. The goal of the experiment is to help these serial swipers find an emotional connection without all the no-strings-attached sex. It's certainly not the end of the world, but when you're young and living it up, rules always seems like a bummer! Especially coming from a suped-up Amazon Alexa. Watch the trailer for Too Hot to Handle above, and see how the cookie crumbles when the show premieres on Netflix on April 17.
How Shedding Her Disney Past Helped Dove Cameron Come Into Her Own as an Artist
Image Source: Columbia Records/Disruptor Records
Dove Cameron is putting her Disney Channel days behind her and coming into her own with new music. Following the release of her first EP last year, the 24-year-old unveiled a new song called "Remember Me" with BIA on Friday. Like her previous singles, the track is about the highs and lows of love as she sings about wanting to freeze a picture-perfect moment in time with her partner.
"Life is just like a series of things coming to an end. We live in a sort of constant state of mourning over the things that we love, but are always leaving us, or always dying, or always venting, and 'Remember Me' is a bit of an expression of that," Cameron told POPSUGAR. "It's a bit of a, 'I will only be this beautiful, this young, this healthy, this vibrant right now, and will never be more beautiful and in my prime than I am right now.' And while I'm aware of that, I also know that it's ending and that this is fleeting."
"My love experiences have been great, deep, wide, intense, and varied, but more than anything, they've also been tinged with so much darkness."
While Cameron writes beautifully descriptive songs about love, she also wants them to be real. "I hate acrostic love songs," she said. "My experience with love has never been like that, and so I get really sick of love songs that just say the same sh*t over and over again. I honestly feel like at this point, it's just like a marketing ploy. It's an idea of love that we've been selling since the dawn of time. I hate that we have so many songs that make us believe that the thing that everybody wants most in life is a certain way, when very, very few people will experience it like that. I've never experienced it like that. My love experiences have been great, deep, wide, intense, and varied, but more than anything, they've also been tinged with so much darkness. That's just reality. That's part of being a human being, and being so intensely in love with someone. It almost always comes with the other side of it, which is not necessarily negative. It can feel lustful, it can feel volatile, which is negative, but is also the nature of love. It can feel dangerous, it can feel heightened, it can feel dramatic, it can feel like it's about to go. It can feel loads of things, and I think that we need more music that expresses that."
Image Source: Columbia Records/Disruptor Records
After releasing songs through Disney Channel - both on Liv and Maddie and in the Descendants films - Cameron is excited to finally share music that is hers. "It's been really special," she said. "I have spent years of my life feeling like I wasn't in a place to be accepted for who I was. It's not so much that people weren't accepting me for what I was, it was that even if I had tried to explain who I was, I wasn't in a position where people would want to hear that. I had it in my head that if I was all of myself, I wouldn't be loved and accepted. Like I had to stay small and palatable to be loved and accepted - and I really wanted to be loved and accepted - so I just didn't attempt to be my full self."
"As you leave Disney, people look to you to make some big dramatic shedding," she added. "So then when you do, there's like 10 minutes of them being like, 'What a b*tch.' And people freak out and they hate it because they've created this image in their head of what you are, even if that's not who you are. But then after a while, it's almost like they embrace it. There's like a natural cycle to a young star's life where [people] don't like it and they want to not like it, then they emotionally come to terms with it and then they're like, 'Yes, you're a bad b*tch.' I finally feel like I'm in a space where, who I always have been, there's room for that now. It's an interesting time for young women. We have a lot of advocates encouraging young women to be fully expressed and fully themselves, and explore sexual sides, darker sides, whatever makes them feel free, and good, and fully expressed. That's amazing for me as a young female artist to feel so backed by my peers and my community."

A lot of her evolution as an artist and person stems from a very emotional last year. In addition to leaving Disney Channel, she also said goodbye to her costar and close friend Cameron Boyce, who died from epilepsy last July. "The thing that has changed me the most is just the work that I've done on myself," she explained. "I think what changes everything in your life is your internal state and the way you look at things and the way that you feel about yourself. While 2019 was one of the worst years of my life, which is saying something, I really felt like I broke apart. I felt like I was at my lowest low, and I've never been more afraid of my own mental state than in 2019. I was just trying to function every day. Just trying to literally survive every day. That's something difficult to communicate to people. That's something even difficult to have people believe when you say [it], because obviously everybody thinks that this life is very charmed. It took that to have me be like, unless I do something differently, I won't survive this."
"The thing that has changed me the most is just the work that I've done on myself."
"So I had to really go in and do some work on myself," she continued. "And that's not to say I'm done doing that. That was the start of me doing that and I'll be doing that for the rest of my life. But I think being honest with myself and checking in with where I was and acknowledging that I can't be the person that I had been, that I had to be somebody that I've never been, and find out what that is and fly blind, then your work's going to get better because everything hopefully can get better when you do that."
Cameron added that she hopes being her authentic self, both through her music and personal life, helps her fans through their own difficult moments. "I hope that through showing more human and messy and unproduced sides of myself that they are able to see those unproduced sides of themselves as well," she said. "Because you can never really get a full version of a person online. Whatever people think they're seeing in me, they're not really. They are not getting the full scope of who I am. You can only know somebody who you know in real life. This fascination that we have watching everybody's lives on YouTube every day, [it] only fills you up for so long, and then you've not spent that time investing in yourself, and so then you don't have anything to fall back on. So then you just keep living vicariously through other people."
"I hope that through me being dead honest, and through me talking about my mental state, and through me talking about the messier, less appealing, less entertaining parts of my life, people will be reminded of those sides of themselves and to explore those sides and to pay attention to and take care of those sides because there's just not much of that out there. Unless we do that, we'll forever live on this little strange surface world that has really only existed for the past 15 years."

The 15 Greatest Supernatural Monster-of-the-Week Episodes
Supernatural is likely still signing off in 2020. Before we say goodbye to Sam and Dean for good, it's time to look back on a few of the episodes that make the series endlessly rewatchable. As much as I enjoy the show's overarching mythology, Supernatural's monster-of-the-week episodes are the ones that I revisit over and over again. The episodes that focus on the Winchester brothers hitting the road to solve a mystery tend to be the most comforting episodes - even when they make me sleep with the lights on. The inventiveness of season 11's "Baby," season three's surprisingly emotional "Mystery Spot," and the real scares in season one's "Bloody Mary" are just a few examples of just how much fun it is to leave the battles between heaven and hell behind and focus on what the Winchesters do best: save people and hunt things.
With 15 seasons worth of episodes to choose from, a list of the best Supernatural monster-of-the-week episodes could be practically endless, so I've made some hard cuts (I still love you, "Ghostfacers"). But at the end of the day, these 15 Supernatural episodes showcase why this show has endured for 15 years, and earned a legion of devoted fans in the process.
An Overwhelmingly Stressful Amount of Things Go Down During Grey's Anatomy's Season 16 Finale
Although Grey's Anatomy loves to end its seasons on some pretty heavy cliffhangers, we can't blame it for the season 16 finale feeling quite so suspenseful. Filming on the rest of the season was abruptly shut down due to the novel coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak and ABC decided not to finish production, leaving the last completed episode to serve as the finale. It remains to be revealed if the remaining four episodes, which were in some stage of preproduction when work was shut down, will be shuffled to the beginning of season 17. So Grey's fans, this is our end for the foreseeable future, and it was definitely an interesting way to end such a divisive season.

Amelia and Link Welcome a Healthy Baby Boy
After a rollercoaster of a pregnancy, Amelia went into labor during the doctors' mad scramble to figure out what's wrong with Richard. Technically, she had been in labor for most of the day and her water broke in the afternoon. When Carina breaks the news that she will be having the baby that day, Link hurries to be by her side. But when he's called away to help with Richard's surgery, Bailey takes his place since, as Amelia put it, she's the one who took him away during the birth of his child. Labor is no fun for the youngest Shepherd, but, in a lovely callback to Bailey's birthing experience with George O'Malley at her back, the chief of surgery hops onto the hospital bed and physically helps Amelia push her way to motherhood. When Link returns, fresh from helping with Richard's surgery, he's greeted by the beaming women and his newborn son.
Owen Learns of Teddy and Tom's Affair in an Unexpected Way
What's done in the dark will always come to light, and Teddy's dirty deeds do just that. The finale begins with Owen wrangling time off from Koracick to make his last-minute wedding plans with Teddy that very night, a fact that Koracick is quite surprised to hear considering his recent daliances with her. Owen is blissfully unaware of the tension between the lovers, but while he's busy in surgery, Koracick confronts Teddy about her decision. He reaffirms his love for her and states that he won't stop fighting for her, proposing that she run away with him. Teddy confesses that she loves him too and the two begin having sex in Koracick's office.
In what is possibly the worst accidental dial in TV history, Teddy leaves Owen a voicemail that leaves no mistake what she's up to. Owen has Levi play the voicemail mid-surgery, but quickly has him turn it off when he realizes what the sound is. Later, he listens to the voicemail all the way through, visibly heartbroken as he hears Teddy and Koracick discuss their relationship. Although Owen hears Teddy tell Koracick that this was a goodbye and she will be marrying the military man later that night, she arrives at their home to discover that Owen has canceled the ceremony without telling her.
DeLuca Figures Out How to Save Richard's Life
Despite everyone in the hospital doubting his every word, DeLuca proves he's still a competent resident when he determines what's been ailing Richard this whole time. When the episode began, Meredith, DeLuca, and practically everyone else in the hospital were looking up every lead to diagnose Richard's sudden illness. A portion of them believes his symptoms mean he has Alzheimer's until the surgeon in question reveals that he's lost feeling in his feet and hands. In case you aren't following, those are not signs of Alzheimer's! Turns out Richard has severe acute onset motor and sensory nerve degeneration, which means the doctors have to figure out a new diagnosis. DeLuca's frenzied research leads him to the answer: Richard had a hip replacement made of cobalt which could be deteriorating and poisoning him, thus, causing all of his symptoms. Lo and behold, DeLuca was right. Again!
Link is called in to extract and replace the hip (taking him away from the birth of his son), with DeLuca nearby to watch because it was his diagnosis. When Richard wakes up at the end of the episode, he's a sight more coherent than he's been for several episodes, which is sincerely a relief. But everything isn't rainbows and butterflies; when Catherine joins Jackson and Maggie by Richard's bedside, he reveals that whatever goodwill he felt toward her during his illness is gone. He wants nothing to do with her and his anger over her past transgressions is still alive and well. "Did you stand by me while I was being fired? You buy my hospital to humiliate me, or is that my mind playing tricks, too?" he argues, before kicking his estranged wife out of the room.
DeLuca is also going through it at the end of the episode, as we catch him having a breakdown outside of Richard's room. It's further evidence of the bipolar disorder-like symptoms he's been experiencing throughout the season, but luckily Meredith is the one who finds him slumped on the floor and offers to take him home. We won't be getting any answers to that mystery this season, but the ending does inspire hope that whenever DeLuca begins to seek help, he'll do so with Meredith by his side.

In an interview with Deadline, Grey's showrunner Krista Vernoff, she revealed that there are no plans for season 17 yet, but that the writers have been brainstorming. "I have a feeling that their stories are going to change some from what we had planned, and that we'll repurpose some of what we had written [for season 16] and use it in the early episodes of season 17," she said.
Vernoff also admitted that the unplanned ending of season 16 left many storylines hanging, but she was especially disappointed that production wasn't able to explore Teddy's behavior and the storyline about the human trafficking victim that DeLuca attempted to save on the March 19 episode, "Give a Little Bit." She explained that a planned episode would have articulated Teddy's reasoning for cheating on Owen with Koracick, but it wasn't possible. "We've left her in a strange place," she noted. "Why would she sabotage - why, when she was finally getting her happy ending, did she sabotage it? I think it's a super-rich area, personally."
As for the human trafficking victim DeLuca was concerned about - whom he tried to save by convincing Bailey and Meredith that she was being held against her will, but no one would listen to him because he was in a manic state - Vernoff revealed that she was meant to return in a later episode because "it felt important to offer that kind of hope to people who are living that experience." Though season 17 still isn't quite in the works, the showrunner claimed she might still complete that story. Hopefully, DeLuca will be in a mental state where he can appreciate seeing her free from her situation!

27 Exciting Debut Authors You Can Support During the Shutdowns
If You Have Never Seen the Original Punk'd, You Need to Watch It ASAP - Here's How
Punk'd is back, y'all, and no, you aren't being "punk'd" right now. This practical joke reality series first debuted on MTV back in 2003 and ran through 2007, with Ashton Kutcher serving as producer and host. In the series, he'd pull hilarious pranks on his fellow celebs, and though the series was revived a few different times (once in 2012 by MTV, and again in 2013 by BET), nothing could ever really beat the original series - except maybe until now. In January 2020, it was announced that a new Punk'd reboot will premiere on Quibi with Chance the Rapper at the helm, and we're definitely down to give this reboot a chance (LOL). Of course, before we fully dive into the new series, which premiered April 6, it feels necessary to rewatch all of Ashton Kutcher's old episodes first.

Luckily, if you're looking to binge the first nine seasons of Punk'd, you can do it all in one place. Amazon Prime has all nine seasons available to watch - though we're sorry to say they're not all available to stream for free. For the first four seasons, you can either purchase individual episodes or the entire season, but for seasons five through nine, you have the option to stream for free with MTV Hits on Amazon. A subscription to MTV Hits on Amazon costs $5.99 a month and gives you access to a ton of classic MTV reality series, like Laguna Beach, Jersey Shore, The Challenge, and more. You can also get a seven-day free trial to MTV Hits, so if you think you can watch five seasons of Punk'd in seven days, then go for it.
Don't get us wrong - we're just as excited for this Punk'd reboot as Chance the Rapper. As he said in a press statement, "Punk'd is one of MTV's most iconic franchises. I grew up watching this show and it's surreal to be in the driver's seat this time around on Quibi." And we're ready to come along for the ride . . . after we revisit all of Kutcher's classic pranks.
