Time for Justin Bieber to rock the trucker hat.

The 16-year-old heartthrob is in talks to host a new version of Punk'd, to be produced by series creator and O.G. host Ashton Kutcher, according to Deadline Hollywood

Kutcher spent four years embarrassing his fellow celebs on the MTV series, coining a new term for the pulling of pranks in the process. But now that he's a little old for such things, he plans to stay behind the scenes of the show he voluntarily retired in 2007.

The teen sensation, who is No. 5 to Kutcher's No. 3 on the list of celebrities with the most Twitter followers, recently made his dramatic acting debut on CSI, and practiced his comedic timing on Saturday Night Live last season.

Per Deadline, the new Punk'd could premiere as soon as next year. So the next time you're at the Ivy, a celeb's credit card has been rejected, the star's pitching a fit and a kid jumps out of a truck with a camera crew in tow...

It could be Bieber.
