Apparently, the whole feud was triggered by Tommy Lee's "crude" text messages from Pamela Anderson's Blackberry. Next up? Possibly a mean MySpace bulletin sent to all their mutual friends. It's so on.

 

Apparently, the two have been feuding for quite some time -- which is no surprise, given that they each have a bizarre love thing with Pamela Anderson. Tommy Lee, the king of using technology to bully people, sent Kid Rock a bunch of e-mails calling him "a bitch" when Rock and Anderson were getting divorced. Kid Rock told him it wasn't his business and went about life, warning Lee they'd see each other again. But then, on that fateful night at the VMAs, Lee couldn't resist the urge to taunt his opponent via technology. Kid Rock explained, "He used her Blackberry. It just starts going off, like he's king."

 

Kid Rock said he expected an apology at the VMAs, for whatever reason. I suppose by running up to him, throwing a punch, he figured that would get an apology for it all? Rock said:

I'm like, 'You've seen me plenty of times.' It's always something, it's always an excuse. And this would be a great opportunity for him to go, 'You know what, I did run my mouth, I'm going to be a man about it, take my lumps, and now I'm gonna shut up and it's over.' But I'm sure he's not that smart.

Considering Lee's main rebuttal to the whole thing involved using the nickname "Kid Pebble," it does appear that, no, he's not that smart. Then again, how smart is Kid Rock? I can barely decipher what he's getting at, since in general, walking up to someone and punching them, or bitchslapping them, or whatever it was he did... isn't exactly the actions of a smart, well-intentioned man, either.

 

Seeing as this fight is unlikey to end any time soon, I just have to wonder who the first to issue a new fight challenge will be. Maybe Lee will send a text message that says "Fight u @ the flagpole 3pm srsly." And then it will be on.

 

Either that, or they'll take up the $1 million offer that Jeff Beacher, a Las Vegas nightclub owner, has offered the dueling rock stars to get into a boxing ring in a "winner takes all" match. Probably not, because both their pride and quite a bit of money would be on the line, but Beacher definitely has the right idea -- because who wouldn't pay to watch two celebrities try to pound the crap out of each other in a boxing ring?

 

Quick poll: who would win that fight, and how quickly would he win?
