Trouble is Kid Rock's middle name. Actually it isn't – it's probably Jeb or Enos or Clawfoot or something – but that doesn't matter because Trouble is also Kid Rock's best friend, wife, vicar and Meals On Wheels delivery operative.
Kid Rock is addicted to trouble, and it doesn't matter if it's the sort of trouble that involves physical violence or the sort of trouble that involves making dreadful redneck heavy metal that sounds like it should exclusively soundtrack cross-eyed, chipped-tooth monster truck rallies. But sometimes Kid Rock's penchant for trouble gets him into, um, trouble – like when Kid Rock decided to use the live, globally-televised MTV VMA awards this year to start a fight with Tommy Lee. However, despite everyone in the world seeing Kid Rock and Tommy Lee slapping each other like babies during the awards, police have announced that Kid Rock won't be charged for the brawl, mainly because they need all their MTV VMA manpower to try and pin a charge of Miming With Intent To Appal on Britney Spears.
Eventful occasion, this year's MTV VMA awards. Really MTV should be proud of itself, because it managed to fill this year's awards with Britney Spears being terrible and Shia LaBeouf blabbing the new Indiana Jones movie title and Kanye West shrieking like a nitwit and still end up with a rubbish show. But at least it went down swinging, much like Kid Rock and Tommy Lee, who decided to spend much of their screen time swinging their arms at each other like a couple of yokels trying to swim up a waterfall.
Why Kid Rock and Tommy Lee fought is beyond us. Tommy Lee did try to tell us, but his account was like listening the the violent thoughts of a teenage council estate single mother screaming at her children so we'll just assume it was about Pamela Anderson instead. After the fight it was Kid Rock who was cited for misdemeanour battery by police – a charge which carries a sentence of up to six months in jail – but now Las Vegas police have decided that nobody is actually going to get charged with anything as People reports:
Kid Rock will not be charged in the fight with Tommy Lee at the MTV Video Music Awards, Las Vegas authorities said Monday. "The Clark County District Attorney's Office will not pursue a battery charge," Chief Deputy District Attorney Ron Bloxham tells Extra. "It should be noted that Tommy Lee has requested that there be no prosecution relating to the incident and there were no injuries to either person."
So all's well that ends well, even though we're putting Tommy Lee's kindness down to a desire to team up with Kid Rock and bundle Pamela Anderson's new husband Rick Salomon together, because Pamela's ex-husbands need to stick together. Also, don't worry if you missed the initial Kid Rock/ Tommy Lee fight at the MTV VMAs, because it's starting to look like Kid Rock wants to hold dramatic reconstructions of the scrap at every Waffle House in the land at the moment.
