Chris Rock Punk'd in South Africa

Comedian CHRIS ROCK, who is on a "No Apologies" tour in South Africa, was the target of a practical joke on Saturday even more shocking than those that ASHTON KUTCHER was famous for on the now canceled reality series "Punk'd." The creator of The CW"'s "Everybody Hates Chris" was accused of having had sex with a British minor, it was reported by Agence France-Presse (AFP).

"It was a hoax, it was for one of the U.S. reality television programs," National Prosecuting Authority spokesman TLALI TLALI told the wire service.

"They pulled one on him, information got to him that the South African Police Service was going to arrest him. Acting on that information he quickly approached lawyers who brought an urgent application at the Johannebsurg High Court where judgment was in his favor," Tlali continued.
