Kid Rock and Tommy Lee’s VMA Brawl

Looks like someone needs to work on controlling his temper… Pamela Anderson’s exes got into a fight during the Alicia Keys performance at this year’s MTV VMAs. According to reports, during the middle of Alicia Keys’ show, Kid Rock walked up to Tommy Lee’s table, appeared to greet him with a tap on the shoulder and then punched him in the face when he got his attention. Tommy Lee returned the favor with another punch. Some reports claim that the altercation was prompted by Tommy Lee saying something derogatory as Kid Rock walked by.

When Pamela Anderson was asked about the incident, which occurred after she had already left the awards ceremony for the evening, she told interviewers that Tommy Lee pulled her onto his lap and spanked her. She thought that his flirtatious behavior might have lead to the Kid Rock’s angry outburst, which occurred only minutes later. Pamel also left her interviews with a few more words of wisdom, stating, “I’m so confused. I’m staying out of it. What are you going to do? Boys!” Well, that’s one way to look at it.

According to Tommy Lee, after the fight was broken up, security officers held him back and said, “If you move, we’ll break your arms.” Kid Rock was also held back but seemed to be a little more subdued after receiving a powerful punch to the face. It appeared that Tommy Lee was still ready for more as he appeared to struggle against the officers for a few quick moments. Both men were escorted out of the performance hall by the security task force.

Kid Rock was given a citation by Las Vegas police for misdemeanor battery. Tommy Lee has apologized for the distraction from Alicia Keys’ performance via a short entry on his Myspace blog. How polite. He also created a new nick name for Kid Rock: “kid pebble”.
