Tommy Lee Accuses Kid Rock of Starting the Fight

Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee and Kid Rock got into a fistfight at Sunday night's VMA awards, held in Las Vegas, over something Lee reportedly muttered to Rock as he walked past his table.

However, Lee denies he was the instigator, and told The Insider TV show, "I was minding myself and then he goes and punches me on the cheek. I was trying to be the bigger man, but he was acting childish.

"I was ready to go in the alley and kick his ass. I was about to put Kid in the emergency room when security grabbed me. They said, 'If you move, we will break your arms.'"

Rap producer Rich Nice, who witnessed the whole incident, said, "It looked like Tommy initiated the fight because Kid was ignoring him. Tommy started to antagonize Kid, and then when Tommy stood up, Kid hit him first with a backhand.

"Tommy looked like he was trying to aggressively retaliate and then Kid hit him again. Security then grabbed Tommy in a headlock and pulled him off."

Rock was questioned by the Las Vegas Police Department and was later released, but was charged with a battery misdemeanor and summoned to return to Las Vegas for a later court date.

Does it strike anyone as weird that neither Lee nor Rock are with Pamela Anderson, but she still has a lasting effect on the two?
