"Justin Bieber has played a prank on TMZ to mark April Fools&amp;#039; Day. The singer posted a message on his official Twitter account on Monday morning, writing: &amp;quot;As promised taking all fan phone calls TODAY at (888) 847 9869. Talk to u soon!&amp;quot;  The telephone number in the post, which has since been removed, is TMZ&amp;#039;s tip line. The number is free to call. Dax Holt from the publication later wrote: &amp;quot;Best April fools joke goes 2 @JustinBieber. He tweeted out TMZs phone # saying he would be taking fan calls. Well played Bieber, well played.&amp;quot; Holt also shared a video posted on Vine showing a busy switchboard, and admitted that he had found the stunt to be &amp;quot;so funny&amp;quot;.  Other celebrity pranks staged in honour of April Fools&amp;#039; Day include Tom Daley&amp;#039;s admission that photos of his pet &amp;#039;micro pig&amp;#039; had actually been staged using a pig ornament.  Jonathan Creek star Sheridan Smith meanwhile claimed that she had been cast in 50 Shades of Grey opposite Eddie Redmayne, fooling Coronation Street&amp;#039;s Chris Fountain and choreographer Louie Spence.
