text: OK, let's just make clear right off the bat that this video was created as a promotion for the upcoming "Carrie" remake. Everyone clear on that? Great. Regardless, the "Carrie" prank video is pretty crazy.

In an elaborately choreographed stunt, actors created a scene in a New York City cafe where a man spills coffee on a woman's laptop and the enraged woman has a telekinetic meltdown in which she uses her powers to throw the guy up against the wall as well as move tables and chairs.

The customers completely freak out and now the video has more than 15 million views.

She slammed her former competitive partner Mark Ballas for hogging the spotlight in his dance with current partner Christina Milian.

"I really wanted to see you shine," Hough said to Milian. "I danced with Mark. You have to stand in front to make sure you're seen."

Burn.

"She put a little sting on me, but that's OK," Ballas later told Entertainment Weekly. "That's how she felt. It is what it is."

In other Hough news, Julianne's brother, Derek, might be dating her bestie, Nina Dobrev.
