Personally, I don't see why this is such a huge problem. It's all just a publicity stunt. You shouldn't be entering the celebrity world if you can't take the negative. And this sort of thing seems positively mild compared to what celebrities can end up going through (EG being stalked).

This feels more like some friendly ribbing, not bullying. For it to be bullying it would have to be much more sustained.

Anyway, I've gone to fake job interviews before. It doesn't feel that bad. It's no different from going to a job interview and getting rejected, to be honest (though it is annoying as they've just wasted your time). Anyway, I'm sure this guy is still getting paid to drive the PR van etc.

But then I come from a country where you really know you're friends with a person if you can routinely tease or insult one another ("slagging") without any hard feelings. Elaborate pranks would come under that too.
