Check out this interview with THR at the Upfronts today where Joel Mchale and Dax Shepard talk about their shows Community and Parenthood and Kristen Bell gets brought up in their conversation. We also learn why there has been a lot of paps lately taking pics of Dax, Kristen/Kristen and friends lately:

THR: Did Bieber punk you?

Shepard: No no, I was directing an episode.

McHale: Did Bieber give you notes?

Shepard: Bieber wasn’t around. But it’s funny – I know you’re joking, but I sincerely ended up on that show because of Bieber. Because I saw the documentary, fell so in love with him from the documentary, called Jason Goldberg and said, ‘I heard Bieber is going to be your host on Punk’d, I want to pass him the torch.’ He said awesome, we’ll do that. Then I ended up in an episode by myself, no Bieber.

THR: He showed you up.

Shepard: He didn’t show me up. I just got bamboozled by the brass at Punk’d. I got promised an episode with Bieber. But now I hate Bieber because he rented a house behind our house, and now there’s parties nonstop, and now there are paparazzi living everywhere around us.

McHale: Man, Dax, you guys have problems.

Shepard: We have big, big problems.

McHale: This reminds me of the people in Damascus who were being shot at while trying to buy milk.

Shepard: Yeah, quite similar. On par, for sure.

McHale: Did he really rent behind you?

Shepard: Yeah, it sounds like a trivial concern. But if you heard Bieber fans partying from midnight til four AM every night of the week, it really starts wearing on you. So I’m no longer a Bieber fan.

THR: You would think most of his fans have curfews.

McHale: You must live in a pretty incredible neighborhood to have the Biebs behind you.

Shepard: Yeah, I live in a nice neighborhood.

McHale: I saw your wife at Gelson’s [supermarket], and she lectured me about getting plastic bags.

Shepard: She did. That’s very her.

McHale: Totally lectured me.

Shepard: She was probably carrying around our big, green Costco bags.

McHale: Yeah, and I think I had a whole roasted chicken, and I was like, would you like some? And she said no, I’m a vegetarian, and I’m like, there’s a surprise!

Shepard: Do you live by there?

McHale: I live right above there.

Shepard: What’s your address?

McHale: Canyon. They found that head and hand in the park.

THR: Were you a suspect?

McHale: Look, I got fingered if you know what I mean, I was of interest – while I was being fingered.

Shepard: But never directly implicated.

McHale: But your life is lovely, let me say that.

Shepard: She’s the greatest of all time.

McHale: That run she did on [Late Late Show with Craig] Ferguson was awesome, in Paris.

Shepard: I think she’s been on that show now in the 40s. She’s done on the show like 40-something times.

McHale: It makes me mad at Craig now because I haven’t been on that much.

Shepard: I’ve only been on two or three times.

THR: He’s an elitist?

Shepard: No, he’s a perv. He just likes young, hot girls.

McHale: Whoa. I don’t know what’s pervy about that.
