Justin Bieber Wants Robert Pattinson To Be His Wingman

• 6th Oct 2010

The teenage pop star – who is rumoured to be dating 16-year-old Jasmine Villegas, who co-starred in his 'Baby' music video – is keen for the ‘Twilight’ heartthrob to go out with him because he thinks they would be an unstoppable flirting force.

Justin said: “I love talking to girls and going on dates. My ideal wingman would be Robert Pattinson. We should go to a few showbiz parties and see what happens. He landed back in Los Angeles last week, so maybe we can go and work some of the magic.”

The 16-year-old singer has already been working on some pick-up lines he and 24-year-old Robert – who is currently dating his ‘Twilight’ co-star Kristen Stewart – could use on girls.

Justin told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Robert says his hair is a great ice-breaker so maybe we can go up to girls and be like, ‘Do you wanna touch our hair?’ How about that for an opening line?”

The Canadian-born star also revealed he has a fondness for British girls and is hoping Robert, who was born and raised in London, can give him some tips.

He said: “The girls go crazy for him over here but I have a big thing for English girls so maybe we could hit a couple of parties in London as well.”

Meanwhile, Justin has been tipped to host a new version of ‘Punk’d’.

According to reports, MTV is bringing back the hidden camera show which sees celebrities get pranked and Justin is in negotiations to take over from previous host Ashton Kutcher, who quit in 2007.

The show's creators Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg, will executive produce the new run.

Justin is quickly making a name for himself as a prankster.

He recently panicked fellow pop star Akon by pretending to be his illegitimate son in a phone call.

Akon's manager Scooter explained: “He was like, 'Daddy, why don't you love me?' It really scared the s**t out of Akon!”

When asked about his antics and whether he really makes prank calls by a fan, Justin warned via a twitter post: “R u Kidding of course I do!! I prank everyone!! No 1 is safe 🙂 (sic)”
