Robert James Ritchie, known as Kid Rock to the masses, was born in Michigan in 1971. After years of struggling as a rapper, his big break came in 1999 with the single "Bawitdaba" from the album Devil Without a Cause. The single became an overnight sensation and by the end of 1999, the album went platinum seven times and was nominated for three Grammy Awards. His personal life has been just as interesting. He married Pam Anderson in 2006, but the two split less than a year later.

Fergie and Quentin Tarantino Throw Joint Vegas Birthday Party

Partygoer Kid Rock surprised her with a hot dog toaster

Body

Fergie and Quentin Tarantino celebrated their birthdays with a joint bash last night in Las Vegas.

“We wanted to do something that was crazy and a lot of fun,” she told Usmagazine.com.

The pair — who filmed a hot and heavy love scene in Tarantino's 2007 flick Grindhouse — spent the afternoon with friends at the Mirage Hotel’s Bare Pool Lounge.

Fergie (who turned 33) and Tarantino (who turned 45) caught the 7 p.m. performance of Cirque du Soleil's Beatle-themed show "LOVE." (They devoured cupcakes backstage, says a source.)

They then partied into the early morning hours at club Jet with Fergie's fiancé Josh Duhamel, Daryl Hannah, and rapper Nelly.

(Guest Kid Rock bought The Dutchess a hot dog toaster called the “Hot Diggity Dog.” “You put the bun on one side, and you put the hot dog in the little hot dog holes, and it pops out of the toaster in about a minute, and your hot dogs are ready to go,” Fergie told Us.)

Further putting those pregnancy rumors to rest, Fergie sipped on wine throughout the night.

At 2:30 a.m. at Jet, Fergie and Tarantino were presented with a birthday cake.

Tarantino "grabbed a handful" and threw it at Fergie, an eyewitness told Usmagazine.com. She then tossed a piece right back at him before "laughing and hugging him and heading back for the Mirage Villas, where they were staying," the onlooker adds.

As the group walked out the door, the DJ played Fergie's hit "London Bridge."

Kid Rock’s Arrest Due to "One Unruly Guy"

Alissa R — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 13:31:35 -0400

Celebrity News Dek

A source says the rocker was not to blame for his recent bust at an Atlanta Waffle House.

Body

A drunk and unruly heckler was responsible for Kid Rock’s arrest in Atlanta October 21, a source close to the rocker tells Usmagazine.com.

Rock (nee: Bob Ritchie), 36, was busted after police said he got into a scuffle with a male patron at a Waffle House around 5 a.m. Sunday.

But a source says Rock, who was sober and had finished playing a sold-out show nearby, meant no harm when he showed up at the greasy spoon with members of his entourage.

“Even before they ordered, Rock tipped the staff $300 and then offered to buy the whole place breakfast,” the source says. “One annoying drunk guy starts running his mouth and came after Rock.”

Rock escorted the patron outside and locked him out, the source claims, but the man allegedly smashed a window and reentered. The fight ensued shortly thereafter.

Rock faces a misdemeanor charge of simple battery; the patron was hit with felony charges of criminal damage to property.

“The police knew it wasn't Rock's fault — that’s why he only got a light misdemeanor,” the source tells Us. “What should have been an innocent night was ruined by one unruly guy."

Kid Rock: I’m Going Out With a Bang

Noelle Hancock — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 17:47:32 -0400

Celebrity News Dek

Kid Rock is giving his last interview on Pamela Anderson and he’s showing no mercy.

Body

Kid Rock is giving his last interview on Pamela Anderson and he’s showing no mercy. In Rolling Stone’s Hot Issue, the rocker takes his 40-year-old ex-wife to task, slamming everything from her appearance (while watching the Emmy awards, Rock points at Helen Mirren, 62, and cracked “Hey, is that Pam?”) to her claims that she miscarried while filming Blonde and Blonder in Canada earlier this year.

“She finally comes up with this: ‘I just had a miscarriage and you don’t even give a f—k,’ and hangs up the phone,” he tells the magazine. “Being the dumb f—k I am, I charter a $60,000 plane and fly to Vancouver. When I get there, she’s partying at this restaurant, drinking champagne, jumping on the tables. I’m thinking, ‘That’s a quick recovery from a miscarriage.’”

So what really happened during his scuffle with Tommy Lee at the MTV Movie Awards? Read the whole story in the new issue of Rolling Stone, on newsstands this week. In the meantime, see interview excerpts below…

On punching Tommy Lee at the MTV VMAs:
“I don’t got big guns, but I know how to throw a punch...If I knew how much press this was gonna get, I would’ve come back with a left.”

On what was going through his head when he punched Lee:
“I was like, ‘That’s it! He knows how much he has disrespected me through the years, and I’d told him he had it coming. I was left with no choice…I was going to be a b-tch or be a man. And I’m not a bitch. Never have been.”

On ending his relationship with model May Andersen:
“I don’t want any of that ‘I love you, I love you too, where have you been, you didn’t call me, you didn’t care’ bullshit. I’ve moved on, and the stars have aligned. Everything in my life is perfect.”

On meeting President Bush in 2004:
“When I first joined a band, I just wanted to make some good tunes, get some p-ssy and buy a new car. But I got to go meet the president, and he slaps me a high-five while I’m having a Jim Beam and Coke with Rumsfeld.”

On his motto:
“I surround myself with good people. That’s the only motto I have in life: Don’t hang out with a-sholes, period.”

On being rich:
“Oh, my kid’s grandchildren are set for life. But I also tell my son, ‘You see how your dad is, if you think any of this is going to get left behind, you’re nuts, because I’m going out with a bang, buddy.’”

On running away from home during high school:
“I just wanted to be were the action was. I didn’t want to be at home, picking apples in the orchard, I wanted to sell dope on the streets, make my money and go buy Paid in Full so I could spin it at the basement party that weekend.”

On his son, Bob Jr. moving to Malibu after Rock and Anderson were married:
“The first day at Malibu High School, I pick him up and I’m a little worried about him. I know it’s going to be a culture shock for him, completely different from Michigan. I was like, ‘Hey, how was school?’ And he’s like, ‘It stinks, it stinks, I hate it! All these kids do here is ride skateboards and do drugs.’ So I told him, ‘Hey, look at me! Stay off the f—kin’ skateboards!”

Tommy Lee Apologizes to Alicia Keys

Tommy Lee has major regrets over his VMA brawl with Kid Rock

Body

He may not be ready to kiss and make up with Kid Rock, but Tommy Lee wants to make amends to Alicia Keys for disrupting her performance at Sunday night's MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas.

Keys was in the middle of performing George Michael's "Freedom" when Lee, 44, and fellow Pamela Anderson ex, Kid Rock, 36, got into a scuffle in the audience that finally ended with Lee being ejected from the awards show by hotel security.

"I would like to apologize to Alicia and George and MTV for the disrespectful bulls--t caused by a piece of s--t called Kid Pebble!!" Lee writes on his official website. (”I apologize sweetie…..I had nothing to do with the timing and disrespect.”)

Police later issued Rock a citation for misdemeanor battery and the singer is expected to appear in a Las Vegas courtroom in three to five weeks.

Posh and Becks get pretty for the cameras.

· What we imagine a photographer says to the Beckhams: "Now -- try to out-pretty each other. FIERCE!"

· We weren't paying attention...did Shia LaBeouf say that the new Indiana Jones title was Indiana Jones and the Underwhelming Announcement? Because that would be apt.

· Extra heeds Britney's demands, gives her more...opportunities to embarrass herself on national television.

· Tommy Lee verbally throws the punches at Kid Rock that security prevented him from physically landing on Sunday night.

· In a segment shot before her nude pic scandal, Vanessa Hudgens claims she likes waffles for breakfast. Oh Vanessa. Everyone knows waffles are for the clothed.

· If TomKat want to ensure the other kids don't get jealous of Suri's luxurious continental travel, they best start photographing her wearing a giant backpack, reading a Let's Go! book and staying in a sketchy hostel.

· Legally Blonde is going from the screen to the stage to the tube.

Kid Rock Attacks Tommy Lee at the VMAs

Noelle Hancock — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 09:07:51 -0400

Celebrity News Dek

Pamela Anderson’s ex-husbands Kid Rock and Tommy Lee exchanged heated words and punches during Alicia Keys' performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, causing the rockers to be thrown out of the event at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.

Body

Pamela Anderson’s ex-husbands Kid Rock and Tommy Lee exchanged heated words and punches during Alicia Keys' performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, causing the rockers to be thrown out of the event at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.

According to MTV.com, Lee hurled some strong words at Rock, 36, when he came over to his table to talk to Diddy, with whom Rock was presenting the final performance.

It wasn't clear what Lee said to Rock, but after the exchange, Rock slapped the 44-year-old Motley Crue drummer.

Lee, one eyewitness said, attempted to fight back before being punched in the face by Rock. (See video of the altercation here.)

"Tommy Lee was sitting by Diddy," MTV veejay Sway reported during the VMA Post Show. "[Kid Rock] just walked up and decked him!"

Both men were detained by security and ultimately left the venue (with Rock still sporting a cigar in his mouth).

"I never hit nobody for nothing before," Rock was overhead saying in the lobby of the casino. "I told him to shut the f--- up."

According to a spokesperson for the Las Vegas Police Department, Rock received a citation for misdemeanor battery and will need to return to Vegas for a future court date. If convicted, he faces a $500 fine and up to six months behind bars.

Anderson, 40, was married to Lee from 1995 to 1998. They have two children. The former Baywatch star was wed to Rock for only six months, marrying in August 2006 and divorcing in February 2007.

The two men have had a rocky history. On New Year's Eve, less than two months after Anderson filed for divorce from Rock, the singer reportedly became enraged after learning that his ex had wandered back into Lee's arms.

Rock allegedly tried to track Lee down, and kicked down the door to what he believed to be the drummer's room at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. Instead, he frightened a family of tourists.

Jamie Foxx made reference to the brawl while on stage to present the Best New Artist award along with Jennifer Garner, imploring the audience to "stop the white-on-white crime.”

"Tommy Lee and Kid Rock fighting like black folks—it's hilarious!" he crowed. "Who won? I was in the bathroom...Pamela Anderson has got a hard choice to make."

Diddy, who was scheduled to introduce the final performance with Rock, ended up having to present without the singer. "I was supposed to be doing this with Kid Rock, but you know, we got to stop the violence," he quipped. "It's not just hip-hop artists that fight."

Pam and Tommy: Back On?

Celebrity News Dek

Body

Pamela Anderson, 39, and ex-hubby, rocker Tommy Lee, 44, may have ended their high-profile marriage in 1998, but could the two be looking to rekindle their romance?

The duo was spotted lunching as a family – with sons Brandon, 10, and Dylan, 9, – at the trendy Santa Monica eatery The Ivy this week.

Pam, who split from Kid Rock, 35, last November after four months of marriage, was snapped by photogs in a steamy smooch with Tommy as she exited the restaurant. No word yet on whether the two are back into their old ways, but one thing is for sure – that liplock is H-O-T!

Plus, it's always good when Mom approves. Pam tells Us "My mom's advice is, 'If you're going to be with an a--hole, be with your ex-husband - at least you've got kids together.'"
