Comedian actor Tom Green is ticked off at the latest reports that he stood up a charity function at a local Ottawa hospital.

"I was never booked to go to any event at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, and certainly if I had been, I wo9uld have shown up. I wouldn't be messing around with that kind of thing. I don't think that's funny. I love the city, and I don't want people in Ottawa to think I would do something as low as make a prank at the expense of sick children," Tom refuted.

The Road Trip star said the first he'd even heard of the situation was from his parents after they'd seen reports of his latest prank.

The Children's Hospital organizer said, "As far as I know, he had agreed."
