Ashton Kutcher Held at Gunpoint

‘When TV goes bad’. We would say it’s not the name of a new Channel Five documentary, but it probably is. It’s also a turn of phrase bonged actor Ashton Kutcher won’t be forgeting in a hurry, no sir. .

Pulling more Punk’d (DVD) frivolity on another band of unsuspecting celebrity victims, Kutcher recently found himself on the business end of a loaded firearm. Though he refuses to comment as to who pulled the gun, or the nature of the stunt, we do know for sure it’s somebody in the rap business.

Rap, is he sure?!

Not the roughty-toughty world of all male folk singing? Those wild kids of light orchestral? Country even? Now, that does surprise us. What with Shania Twain’s (CD) famously grouchy temper and all.

"I didn’t really think rappers carried guns. I’m like, ‘These guys don’t really have guns! They’re just trying to be tough!” screamed Kutcher, confidently warranting both exclamation marks. “They got guns - somebody pulled out a gun! He still has a gun, so I’m not gonna tell who it was.” he added going for the hatrick.

Probably more astounding than somebody wanting to shoot Ashton Kutcher in the head is that he actually does talk that way. Forgive hecklerspray for thinking that annoying urban idiot thing was an act. We were obviously giving his thesping skills far too much credit.

"The craziest thing is it was like one of those rap groups that like sing about peace in the world and stuff, so I’m thinking to myself, ‘There’s no way these guys are gonna have a gun.’

Being no closer to telling you anything more concrete than we were several paragraphs ago, we can all play guess the gun toting gangsters together if you like?

Okay, so they’re a ‘rap’ or ‘hip-hop’ group. They couldn’t see the funny side of what was probably a fairly lame joke (if it involved ‘posse’ and ‘looking daft in front of’ we wouldn’t be too surprised). And most important of all these mean old gangster types carry guns on a regular basis…

Hmm, are the London Boys (CD) still together?
