If Britney Spears' 2007 MTV VMA Gimme More opening performance at the Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas couldn't get audience's excitement, then Pamela Anderson's ex-husbands, Kid Rock and Tommy Lee's VMA Fight may do catch a lot of sights:
There was plenty of other excitement at the MTV awards when Tommy Lee was escorted out of the auditorium after getting into a fight with Kid Rock.
The scuffle occurred while Alicia Keys was performing on stage."There were no fists, they were just holding each other, grabbing each other," Tom Higginson, singer of the pop band Plain White Ts said. "Security had to break them up."
Although it wasn't clear whether the two rockers were fighting over something related to Pamela Anderson, it was hard to imagine another scenario.
Another eyewitness, rap producer Rich Nice, said although Kid Rock threw the only blows that landed — a backhand slap and a punch — Tommy Lee was the instigator.
"It looked like Tommy Lee initiated it because Kid Rock was ignoring him," said Nice, who was two tables away. "And Tommy Lee kind of antagonized him. And then when Tommy Lee stood up, it looked a little weird, like 'Yo, what?'"
"When Tommy stands up is when Kid hit him the first time with a backhand," Nice continued. "And then Tommy Lee looked like he was trying to get at him to aggressively retaliate and then Kid Rock hits Tommy Lee again — bong. And then security grabs Tommy Lee in a headlock and pulls him off."
