Kid Rock is still talking about the punch heard ’round the MTV Video Music Awards. On hitting Tommy Lee he said, “I don’t got big guns, but I know how to throw a punch. If I knew how much press this was going get, I would’ve come back with a left.”
He also justifies his actions by saying Tommy had it coming by disrespecting him that night and antagonizing him for years.
 “I was like, ‘That’s it!’ He knows how much he has disrespected me through the years, and I’d told him he had it coming. I was left with no choice. I was going to be a (expletive) or be a man. And I’m not a (expletive). Never have been.”
How do two washed up rockers stay in the news? Get in a meaningless fight and then keep talking about it.

Pamela Anderson has dated Tommy Lee and Kid Rock. She’s worked as a magician’s assistant. She’s done Playboy and Bay Watch. But now her friends are worried about her because she’s dating Rick Salomon, best known for his role in “One Night In Paris”.
 “She parties almost every night,” a Page Six source said. “She drinks, she does stuff . . . and she’s got hepatitis C. Her liver is shot but she keeps living this crazy lifestyle. We don’t think she understands how serious this is. She has two kids and may not be around to see them grow up at this rate.
“[Pam and Rick] went wild over the VMA weekend,” the spy added. “I just watched them party with my jaw open.”
Meanwhile, Anderson’s two sons, Dylan and Brandon, are mostly taken care of by either her brother or mother while she plays assistant in Hands Klok’s magic show in Las Vegas. She has been telling friends that she is either engaged or already married to Rick, whom she has known for all of six weeks.
I can’t imagine what it’s like now if a marriage to Tommy Lee didn’t scare anyone.

Tommy Lee and Kid Rock got in a fight at the MTV Video Music Awards, they were offered a million dollars to throw down for real. Las Vegas nightclub boss Jeff Beacher has now offered five times that to try and lure the two ex-husbands of Pamela Anderson into the ring.
“We all know that they are fighting over Pam Anderson. What better way to settle their differences then to slug it out in the ring. I’ve teamed up with legendary boxing promoter Bob Arum and now the prize is $5 million.”
I think Pam should get ring side seats to the event with her current fiance Rick Solomon and they should stage it in a circus because that’s exactly what

What better way to pay off your gambling debt than marriage? Reportedly, that’s what Pamela Anderson thinks when it comes to Rick Solomon. The Rick Solomon of Paris Hilton sex tape fame. The guy made $6 million from selling the tape and then became a professional poker player.
‘It’s so romantic. It’s romance. I was playing poker one night in my room and I was down about $250,000. He said if I made out with him I could clear the … thing.’
‘And I ended up paying off my poker debt. And then I fell in love and now we’re engaged.’
Pam’s been married to a couple winners in her life, so why not Rick? Two of her exes, Tommy Lee and Kid Rock, have been offered a $1 million prize to settle their VMA feud in a boxing ring grudge match by Las Vegas nightclub boss Jeff Beacher.
But it sounds like Pam and Rock should be the ones getting in the ring after Kid said he never loved her and divorcing her was the best thing he ever did:
“I went through what I went through, and there’s no doubt it wasn’t love – we went through all these things, but then coming out of it pretty much unscathed, after uprooting my son and a lot of things, it’s like, ‘Thank god I’m out of this.”

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.”

Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee are giving it yet another shot, reports Us Magazine.
 Pamela Anderson, 39, and ex-hubby, rocker Tommy Lee, 44, may have ended their high-profile marriage in 1998, but could the two be looking to rekindle their romance?
The duo was spotted lunching as a family – with sons Brandon, 10, and Dylan, 9, – at the trendy Santa Monica eatery The Ivy this week.
Pam, who split from Kid Rock, 35, last November after four months of marriage, was snapped by photogs in a steamy smooch with Tommy as she exited the restaurant. No word yet on whether the two are back into their old ways, but one thing is for sure – that liplock is H-O-T!
Plus, it’s always good when Mom approves. Pam tells Us “My mom’s advice is, ‘If you’re going to be with an a–hole, be with your ex-husband – at least you’ve got kids together.’”
The two are just so perfect for each other.

Well this is certainly good news! I was seriously worried about George’s sanity. [heh]
 George Clooney is shooting down reports that he’s having a romance with former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson – dashing the dreams of gossip watchers everywhere.
“I worked with Pam seven years ago and haven’t seen her since,” George said in a statement issued Friday. “And I’ve never been to that restaurant.”
The restaurant in question is Sherman Oaks, California’s Valley Inn, where it was rumored that Clooney and Anderson recently dined together in a private room.
According to Internet reports, Anderson, who spilt from Kid Rock in November after four months of marriage, was spotted sitting in Clooney’s lap and whispering in his ear at the restaurant.
Stories also stated that the pair had begun quietly dating and had been “inseparable.”

As if things weren’t nasty enough… seeing Paris Hilton kissing on Travis Barker. It appears that the self-proclaimed icon has now set her claws into Kid Rock!
I was listening to the radio today, Channel 933 for all you San Diegans, and one of the DJ’s was talking about her weekend trip to Los Angeles, where she saw Paris Hilton making out with Kid Rock. Ew, both trashy sluts.
 -I went to Hollywood hot spot Les Duex on Friday night and I saw Paris Hilton Hooking up with Kid Rock! Yes, I saw her drunk dancing all over him kissing him. Travis Barker was also there earlier, before Paris was all over Kid Rock. Her sis Nikki Hilton was also in the house partying with Matt Leinart. Rachel Bilson was sitting nearby at her own table peacefully. And Jesse Metcalf was roaming around.

An enraged Kid Rock tried to get physical with Tommy Lee on New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas after being taunted by the wild rocker over recent split from Pamela Anderson. Honestly, I feel sorry for the guy. He’s been sniffing the ground Pam walks on for years now, pretty much wasting his life away.
Kid Rock, real name Robert Ritchie, and Lee have both been married to the former “Baywatch” star, with Rock splitting from Anderson in November 2006. Kid Rock had reportedly been receiving calls from Lee taunting him about his impending divorce from Anderson, and attempted to confront Lee at the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel.
A source tells Page Six, “Kid is divorcing Pam Anderson, but he heard Tommy was hooking up with her, and got all riled up.
“So he went over at 6 a.m. with two bodyguards, and began kicking down what he thought was Tommy’s door.
“Only it wasn’t — Kid found himself staring at some poor, startled family. He signed an autograph for them as security arrived, then bolted over to the Paradise strip club.”
Lee’s representative confirms, “Tommy is aware that this incident occurred, but wasn’t at the time as he was staying on another floor.”

Pamela Anderson has filed for divorce from Kid Rock. Well that was short… not a record though, Britney Spears holds that one… I think.
On the lighter side, here’s a few sexy pics from the photoshoot of Pamela & Kid Rock that is going to be in the January 2007′s GQ Magazine.
The irony? They aren’t together anymore. Tell me… how many of you are actually surprised by this news?

Pamela Anderson is finally going to marry Bob “Kid Rock” Ritchie. At least four times, in fact.
Pamela Anderson confirmed Wednesday she’s ready to tie the knot with Kid Rock in France. And California. And Michigan. And Tennessee. “I’m going to get married a few times this month to the same guy,” said the 39-year-old actress, who wore a white veil pulled-back from her face during a news conference about her new online poker site, PamelaPoker.com. She said her nuptials to the rocker, whose real name is Bob Ritchie, will take place near St. Tropez, France. They are reportedly planned for Saturday.
To each his own, I guess.
Anderson then proceded to show the intellect that made her famous:
“If Bob knew he was getting married five years ago in St. Tropez, he wouldn’t have believed it,” Anderson said.
And he’d have been right.
Asked how she’s coping with her nerves before the big event, she replied: “I have two words for you: champagne.”
Indeed.

Like “South Park Republicans,” the concept of “conservative rock songs” is rather counterintuitive. Nonethless, the editors of the venerable National Review of compiled a list of the top 50.
The New York Times lists all 50 and provides NR’s reasoning, some of which is rather strained. And a few of the songs are by no means “rock,” even by the expansive new definition that includes Aretha Franklin.
Some examples and analysis below the fold.
1. Won’t Get Fooled Again,” by The Who.
The conservative movement is full of disillusioned revolutionaries; this could be their theme song, an oath that swears off naive idealism once and for all. “There’s nothing in the streets / Looks any different to me / And the slogans are replaced, by—the—bye. . . . Meet the new boss / Same as the old boss.” The instantly recognizable synthesizer intro, Pete Townshend’s ringing guitar, Keith Moon’s pounding drums, and Roger Daltrey’s wailing vocals make this one of the most explosive rock anthems ever recorded — the best number by a big band, and a classic for conservatives.
I’m not sure cynicism and an acknowlegement that Leftist causes eventually become conservative staples is a conservative viewpoint–although it’s generally correct. Surely, this isn’t the best example of a conservative rock song?
2. “Taxman,” by The Beatles.
A George Harrison masterpiece with a famous guitar riff (which was actually played by Paul McCartney): “If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street / If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat / If you get too cold, I’ll tax the heat / If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet.” The song closes with a humorous jab at death taxes: “Now my advice for those who die / Declare the pennies on your eyes.”
More populist than conservative. But yes.
3. “Sympathy for the Devil,” by The Rolling Stones.
Don’t be misled by the title; this song is “The Screwtape Letters” of rock. The devil is a tempter who leans hard on moral relativism — he will try to make you think that “every cop is a criminal / And all the sinners saints.” What’s more, he is the sinister inspiration for the cruelties of Bolshevism: “I stuck around St. Petersburg / When I saw it was a time for a change / Killed the czar and his ministers / Anastasia screamed in vain.”
Not sure Jagger and company were going for a conservative theme. Douglas Cruickshank provides an excellent literary take on it for Salon.
4. “Sweet Home Alabama,” by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
A tribute to the region of America that liberals love to loathe, taking a shot at Neil Young’s Canadian arrogance along the way: “A Southern man don’t need him around anyhow.”
Definitely a Southern anthem but not sure there’s much “conservative” about it, aside from vague pro-Wallace sympathies and the line “Now Watergate does not bother me/Does your conscience bother you?”
7. “Revolution,” by The Beatles.
“You say you want a revolution / Well you know / We all want to change the world . . . Don’t you know you can count me out?” What’s more, Communism isn’t even cool: “If you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao / You ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow.” (Someone tell the Che Guevara crowd.)
This is a classic case of liberal values become conservative over time. The Lads were pretty liberal even by the standards of 1960s era twentysomethings. They were just also anti-violent and anti-Communist. So, incidentally, was George McGovern.
16. “Get Over It,” by The Eagles.
Against the culture of grievance: “The big, bad world doesn’t owe you a thing.” There’s also this nice line: “I’d like to find your inner child and kick its little ass.”
This one deserved to be much higher on the list. Again, though, Henley and company are hardly conservatives.
20. “Rock the Casbah,” by The Clash.
After 9/11, American radio stations were urged not to play this 1982 song, one of the biggest hits by a seminal punk band, because it was seen as too provocative. Meanwhile, British Forces Broadcasting Service (the radio station for British troops serving in Iraq) has said that this is one of its most requested tunes.
An inspired choice, although a case of a song being seized upon people with radically different sympathies than the songwriter.
31. “Small Town,” by John Mellencamp.
A Burkean rocker: “No, I cannot forget where it is that I come from / I cannot forget the people who love me.”
Mellencamp will cringe if he finds out conservatives are glomming onto his music.
35. “Who’ll Stop the Rain,” by Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Written as an anti—Vietnam War song, this tune nevertheless is pessimistic about activism and takes a dim view of both Communism and liberalism: “Five—year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains . . .”
Again, cynicism is not conservatism.
50. “Stand By Your Man,” by Tammy Wynette.
Hillary trashed it — isn’t that enough? If you’re worried that Wynette’s original is too country, then check out the cover version by Motörhead.
Wynette ain’t rock and roll, gents.

Axl Rose says Tommy Hilfiger fights like a girl. And we’re not talking Jennifer Garner here.
It was a one-two encounter between Axl Rose and Tommy Hilfiger. The rocker and designer capped a Thursday evening out at a new club called The Plumm in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood with midnight fisticuffs. “There was an issue between the two of them,” Plumm owner Noel Ashman told The Associated Press.
The scuffle reportedly started after the Guns N’ Roses front man moved the drink of Hilfiger’s girlfriend, Dee Ocleppo. “I moved his girlfriend’s drink so it wouldn’t spill,” Rose told the Los Angeles radio station KROQ on Friday. “It was the most surreal thing, I think, that’s ever happened to me in my life.” According to the 44-year-old singer, Hilfiger, 55, smacked him in the arm and told him to put the drink back. “He just kept smacking me,” Rose said.
Attempts to reach Hilfiger or a representative were not immediately successful.
Rose was there to play a surprise set for “Rent” actress Rosario Dawson for her 27th birthday party. At the time of the dustup, The Plumm was packed with a celebrity crowd including Lenny Kravitz, Mickey Rourke, Kid Rock, Peter Beard, Molly Simms, Wentworth Miller, Ann Dexter Jones, Lydia Hearst and Damon Dash.
Rose did perform, and dedicated the song “You’re Crazy” to “my good friend Tommy Hilfiger.”
I’m not sure what’s lamer, Hilfiger or that the “celebrity crowd” consists mostly of people I’ve never heard of.
Update: More from the NY Post. It gets lamer:
Tommy Hilfiger really showed his “Appetite for Destruction” yesterday when he pummeled Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose in a dispute over a VIP table at Rosario Dawson’s birthday party, sources said. The midnight turf battle erupted when Axl moved Hilfiger’s girlfriend’s drink in the banquette area of The Plumm nightclub on West 14th Street – where the “Rent” actress was celebrating her 27th birthday.
A densely packed crowd of celebs – including Lenny Kravitz and Kid Rock – had ringside seats to the battle. The feisty fashionista was acting all gangsta, hitting Axl with a flurry of punches, one that landed under Rose’s eye. “First [Axl and Tommy] were sitting. Then they were pulling on each other . . . It got so out of control,” said a shocked witness. As the punch-up escalated, Hilfiger introduced Rose to some “November Pain” with a blow to the cheek. Club guards quickly tried to separate the men. “A bunch of security ran over – but Tommy would not back down. He was just out to take him down,” the witness said. “Kid Rock got trampled by people running over. It was unbelievable.” Eventually, the designer’s own bodyguard pulled him out of the club.
Yesterday, club owner Noel Ashman pointed the finger at Hilfiger: “Axl was a gentleman and had the good sense not to retaliate, as he would have done some serious damage to Hilfiger.”
Rose said the attack was unprovoked, in an interview with The Post in his dressing room. The singer said Hilfiger may have been angry because he’d been told to move to make room for Rose and his entourage. Rose described Hilfiger as “foaming at the mouth.” When Rose took the stage a few minutes later to perform the song “You’re Crazy,” he dedicated it “to my good friend Tommy Hilfiger.”
Kid Rock, wearing a black-brimmed hat and smoking a cigar, took his fellow rocker’s side, and explained that Hilfiger was upset because he is way further down on the fame food chain. The hierarchy, according to Kid Rock, begins with mere mortals and works its way up to sports stars. “After that it’s movie stars, then rock stars, then Michael Jordan.” Hilfiger is somewhere between a mere mortal and a sports star in this ranking.
There you have it.
