Prankster and sometime actor Ashton Kutcher is always trying to come with the lil' jokey-jokes, but the joke was on him, so to speak, when his "Punk'd" cast of characters tried to fake like they were going to arrest the rap crew at a phony brothel. When the cuffs came out, their entourage went buckwild on the "cops," reports MTV. 

One friend of a band member slugged an off-duty cop hired to lend authenticity to the raid and another actor was tackled and knocked into the swimming pool. The practical joke started with the Peas being invited to a party at a Hollywood Hills mansion. But when group members arrived they saw couples retiring to bedrooms in the mansion. Just as the "Punk'd" pranksters planned, the Peas and their entourage found themselves in the middle of a brothel party with high-priced call girls.

"Band member will.i.am was an accomplice in the prank," said an eyewitness. "But the rest of the band and their entourage became suspicious."

Just then a team of seven phony vice cops rushed in from all directions. 

"When one of the cops acted like he was going to slap the cuffs on will.i.am, one of his friends punched a cop in the jaw, which sent him flying backwards and into the pool," said the eyewitness.

"Then, the guy tackled another one of the prop-cops and they both went tumbling into the pool!"

Usually at this point Ashton comes out of hiding and lets the celebrity in on the prank, but a spokesman said the actor was away on location for a movie.
