This is what Kristin had to say about it.

From brunie: Did you see the US Weekly article that Michael Vartan was punk'd but wouldn't sign the release? What gives? True?
No. Here's what I know, and this is from someone who works very closely with Michael (ahem, a costar, ahem). The Punk'd they shot with M.V. was the one I told you about back in October. His manager sent him out on a Spider-Man 3 audition, which at the time did not exist. They put him in a spandex suit, made him fly up in the air in a harness and gave him horrible dialogue to read. Michael left the set "laughing his ass off," according to this costar.
But here's the rub: They apparently shot two versions of this same stunt, and you may have already seen who the other guy was: Jesse Metcalfe. Consensus was, his was more funny because of his read, so Metcalfe's run aired instead of Michael's. Meanwhile, I'm told that the plane incident reported in US Weekly never happened, and was actually a second option for the intial Punk'd. And mind you, all these Punk'd shoots happened back in October-November, so this is not only incorrect news, as far as I know, but most likely old.
From ames47: Omigod! But did they film the Punk'd? Have to see it!
Yes, they did. And they should air it, right?!
