Ashton Kutcher has annoyed yet another celebrity with his Punk'd prank.

Kutcher, whose antics reportedly led to a violent reaction from members of the Black Eyed Peas' entourage in a makeshift brothel last month, has now upset New York Yankees baseball ace Alex Rodriguez.

Last year in December, Rodriguez was dining with his wife at a restaurant in Los Angeles when a waiter posing as a loudmouth "Boston Red Sox" fan provoked the sportsman.

"The waiter basically called A-Rod a loser who had never been on a winning team," Teen Hollywood quoted a source as saying.

The prank soon became very dicey and, after the gag was exposed, Rodriguez refused to sign a release form and also insisted that the tape be destroyed.

"It was a good idea. It was just bad timing," said Rodriguez. (ANI)
