In one of the least expected catfights of all time, fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger attempted to knock Axl Rose the fuck out last night at a nightclub in NYC. Celebs, including Kid Rock and Lenny Kravitz, packed the club, and all got an eyeful of the brawl.
While sitting at a VIP table for Rosario Dawsons birthday party, Rose apparently made a major faux pas when he moved Hilfigers girlfriends glass out of his way so it wouldnt spill. Hilfiger responded by attacking Rose, landing blows on his body and face, but Rose nailed Hilfiger in the cheek.
"A bunch of security ran over - but Tommy would not back down. He was just out to take him down," the witness said.
"Kid Rock got trampled by people running over. It was unbelievable."
Club security separated the two, and Hilfigers own security guy got off his ass to pull Tommy outside.
Strangely, it seemed Axl Rose was not the bad guy this time.
Yesterday, club owner Noel Ashman pointed the finger at Hilfiger: "Axl was a gentleman and had the good sense not to retaliate, as he would have done some serious damage to Hilfiger."
The singer said Hilfiger may have been angry because he'd been told to move to make room for Rose and his entourage.
Rose described Hilfiger as "foaming at the mouth."
Rose performed the Guns N' Roses standard Youre Crazy a few minutes later, and dedicated it "to my good friend Tommy Hilfiger."
Listen to Roses version of the story, as told on KROQ here.
when i spend that much on plastic surgery around the eyes and teeth caps, please ensure I dont check off the corn row hair transplant and faux sunburn option.
The biggest news to me here is that Hilfiger's straight. I had heard he wasn't.
Or maybe it was someone like ForDeathorGlory who was using 'gay' to describe his dislike of Hilfiger's clothing.
what i want to know is what the hell is up with axl rose's hair? he looks like that weird guy that hangs out in front of my building every morning telling me his name is tony curtis and asks me if i want an autograph. geez.
What is the world coming to.... This is the most BIZARRE tangling, to say the least, in some time....even as I sit behind my monitor, I cannot think of a more insane moment in celeb-brawl moments!!!

Does anyone else think Axl looks incredibly creepy now?
Oh hell no, he actually looks rather jolly and, well, maybe a little plump. Kinda like someone from the cast of "Eric the Viking" in that picture. Very approachable.
I find it amusing that Axl, known for starting shit of all colors, gets jumped by Tommy Hilfiger. I'm thoroughly entertained.
Fat, bloated, drug-filled Axl is TOTALLY gonna be just as awesome as fat, bloated, drug-filled Elvis was! And in my eyes, everything The King did before Burning Love is pure solid shit compared to his fatty days. Mark my words!
