Kid Rock was arrested in Atlanta over the weekend in connection with a brawl that broke out at a Waffle House. Rock and his entourage stopped by the restaurant early Sunday morning after performing at a show in Atlanta.

According to police, a male patron recognized a woman in Kid Rock’s entourage and a fight broke out. The police were called after the fight moved out into the parking lot. Kid Rock’s tour bus left the scene, but was pulled over by the police a short time later. Kid Rock was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor charge of simple battery. He was able to leave jail after posting a $1000 bond.

Kid Rock might be on the “fight a month” plan, because, as you might recall, he got into a fight with Tommy Lee last month at the MTV video awards. It is unfortunate that he lets his temper get the best of him and gets in the news for such negative things as fighting in public. On the other hand, I suppose with a new album out, Kid Rock wants nothing more than to get publicity. As the old saying goes, “All publicity is good publicity.” And maybe Kid Rock fans are the type to think that it is cool to get into a fight at Waffle House?

What is most likely, though, is that at 5:15 a.m., at least one of the parties involved in the fight was likely intoxicated and that is a dangerous thing to mix with a temper. It causes a minor argument to turn into a violent encounter and, in this case, police involvement.

According to TMZ, there is a chance that Kid Rock and Tommy Lee will take their famed feud to the boxing ring.

Jeff Beacher, of Beacher’s Madhouse in the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas, has offered a purse of $1 million if Kid Rock and Tommy Lee take their VMA beef to his club’s boxing ring. Beacher is now raising the stakes by upping the prize to a cool $1.5 mil!

No word on whether these guys would actually consider stepping in the ring, but consider their penchant for publicity would lead to me to believe that they are at least considering it.

It sounds like what happened back stage at the MTV Video Music Awards may have been more interesting than what happened on stage (unless you call Britney Spears’ comeback disaster “interesting.”) If you watched the VMAs, which aired live, you may have been wondering what P. Diddy meant when he said that Kid Rock was supposed to be presenting with him and then made some comment about rock stars fighting.

According to TMZ, Kid Rock got into a fight with Tommy Lee backstage at the Palms Casino and Hotel. Kid Rock “slapped up” Tommy Lee and police were called. Kid Rock was cited for misdemeanor battery, but allowed to stay at the show.

Both Kid Rock and Tommy Lee were formerly married to Pamela Anderson.
