MYSTIKAL - FRIENDS STAR TYLER KEEN TO CLEAR HIS NAME

FRIENDS star JAMES MICHAEL TYLER has gone public about his pet peeve - he isn't rapper MYSTIKAL.

The actor, who plays coffee shop boss GUNTHER in the sitcom, receives daily calls from young rap fans, who are convinced he's the SHAKE YA A** hitmaker, whose real name is MICHAEL TYLER.

And now Tyler has appeared on American TV show CELEBRITY JUSTICE to clear his name once and for all.

He says, "People constantly call my house asking me if I'm Mystical and then they hang up, but no one believes me and I get this every day."

Tyler is particularly keen to clear his name after the rapper was jailed for six years last week (ends16JAN04) after he was found guilty of sexual battery.
