It’s what you’ve always wanted. Tommy Lee vs. Kid Rock. A battle for the ages. It went down at the MTV Video Music Awards last night. Britney was fat and flailing, according to Mr. Schmader, but Lee vs. Rock was the real centerpiece of the evening.

Sure, Ali vs. Foreman and Sugar Ray vs. Hagler were great fights. But Lee vs. Rock is better. It’s like a Danielle Steel novel. There’s intrigue, passion, and Pamela, and passion.

From E! Online:

The tussle happened during Alicia Keys’ performance, shortly after Pamela Anderson appeared as a presenter. Rap producer Rich Nice, who had a front-row seat to the melee, told the Associated Press that the Mötley Crüe drummer was the instigator of the fight, though Rock landed the only connecting punch.

“It looked like Tommy Lee initiated it because Kid Rock was ignoring him,” he said. Security grabbed Lee in a headlock and pulled him off. After the fight, security allowed Kid Rock to remain in his seat for the remainder of the show, though Lee was thrown out of the ceremony and deposited in the hotel’s main casino amid a throng of fans.

Here’s a little video. Right at the beginning, you can see some action.
