MTV Punk'd: The Complete Second Season proves funnier and less self-congratulatory and meanspirited than season 1. The show seems to have found its footing in quicker segments and sharper ideas, among them a pair of truly hilarious "red carpet" episodes in which fake journalists--some of whom don't even speak English--pester the likes of Robert Downey Jr., Alicia Silverstone, and Dule Hill with bizarre questions. (A baffled Penelope Cruz is repeatedly asked, in Spanish, about her personal hygiene while an English-speaking "reporter" demands to know if his Latina colleague is talking about him.) An unsuspecting Katie Holmes arrives at the home of filmmaker McG (
Charlie's Angels) for a discussion about a project, only to watch in horror as McG (who is in on the joke) weakly fends off accusations from his "fiancée" that he is having a fling with Holmes. Halle Berry is denied entrance to the world premiere of her star-driven feature
Gothika while the film's producer, Joel Silver, watches in amusement with
Punk'd host Ashton Kutcher. The best bit, however, finds teen idol Hilary Duff taking a driving lesson from a madman who abandons her while he takes a baseball bat to another driver's spiffy red convertible.
