Tommy Lee And Kid Rock Throw Down At VMAs

Mandy @ Gone Hollywood | Monday, September 10, 2007

At last nights MTV Video Music Awards, Britney Spears wasn’t the only one making an ass out of herself. Kid Rock and Tommy Lee got into it after Kid Rock reportedly punched Tommy Lee in the face. Kid Rock says that Tommy Lee instigated the fight by taunting him, saying “I never hit nobody for nothing before. I told him to shut the f–k up.”

As MTV VJ Sway reported during the post-show telecast:

“Tommy Lee was sitting by Diddy. [Kid Rock] just walked up and decked him!”

According to an onlooker in the audience, “They had each other at the necks, they were practically strangling each other.” Another eyewitness saw Tommy Lee escorted out, “screaming the f-word over and over again.” He was taken out into main casino in front of thousands of fans.

Jamie Foxx added his two cents while presenting the Best New Artist award with Jennifer Garner. “Stop all of this white-on-white crime. Tommy Lee and Kid Rock fighting like black folks – it’s hilarious.” Foxx, added, “Who won? I was in the bathroom. Pamela Anderson has got a hard choice to make.”

Diddy wanted to get in on the fun too, and while he introduced the final performance he said, “I was supposed to be doing this with Kid Rock, but you know, we got to stop the violence. It’s not just hip-hop artists that fight.”

The police eventually came to Kid Rock’s hotel room and cited him for misdemeanor battery.

Seriously, Kid Rock? You choose the VMAs to punch Tommy Lee? It just kind of takes the hardcore out of the fight when you’re doing it in front of preteen fans who vote on Moon Men winners. I’m just sayin’.

What others are saying:

Mollygood says, “Still no word as to why the security team didn’t let the idiots kill each other.”

In Touch says, “Pamela Anderson’s two ex-husbands really don’t like each other.”

Celebrity Smack says, “And he didn’t open handed bitch slap him either, according to a witness, ‘Tommy got it pretty bad.’ Well yeah! Tommy Lee is a little scrawny dude and was probably wasted. That would be like kicking Keith Richards ass. It wouldn’t take much.”

celebitchy says, “Maybe that’s why tensions were high when Rock ran into Lee. Even if Lee hasn’t rekindled his relationship with the mother of his children, he still gets to see her often enough and I doubt she has much to do with Rock.”

Glitterati says, “How much do you want to bet they planned that to get a little attention for both of them? I mean, it’s not like you get into a relationship with Pam Anderson thinking you’ve got her attention always and forever, or that she’s never had a man before you.”

dlisted says, “Why didn’t MTV show this shit?! It would’ve been better than the crap they put onstage! Nothing says entertainment like two old has-beens duking it out.”

Best Week Ever says, “Kid Rock and Tommy Lee got kicked out of last night’s VMA Awards after getting into a fistfight over which one of them was the most irrelevant aging rocker in the room. Thank god Axl Rose wasn’t on hand, because there would have been an all-out riot.”

A Socialite’s Life says, “If Tommy Lee pressed those charges after starting shit, he is a sissy man. Tattoos and piercings and previous overdoses don’t make you a badass. Rednecks will school you. They will put down their can of Bud and their corncob pipe, whoop your ass, and then sit back down and resume listening to Toby Keith. Respect.”
