(Newser) – In honor of April Fools' Day, the Huffington Post found video of 10 awesome (or awesomely embarrassing) pranks pulled on and by famous people:

  • Tom Cruise: Upon being squirted in the face with a water gun by a British reporter, Cruise's priceless response included the line, "You're a jerk."
  • Justin Timberlake: When Ashton Kutcher and Dax Shepard pranked him for Punk'd, with Shepard posing as a government official seizing his property because of unpaid taxes, JT actually cried. He later blamed his behavior on being stoned.

  • Taylor Swift: Justin Bieber punked the pop princess for, yes, the revival of Punk'd that premiered Thursday. He also managed to make her cry, by pretending she'd blown up a boat where a wedding was taking place.
  • George Clooney: He secretly replaced a female masseuse who was working on producer Jerry Weintraub, and gave Weintraub a massage while Brad Pitt filmed. Then, for the pièce de résistance, Clooney smacked Weintraub on the butt.
Click for the full list and videos, including one "especially painful" entry involving Sarah Palin.

What was wrong with Tom Cruise's response?  I watched the video, and I don't get why it is supposed to be funny.  I haven't seen a decent Tom Cruise movie since Risky Business, but that was pathetic squirting him like that.
