Kid Rock cited over Lee fight

Las Vegas - Kid Rock was cited by police for misdemeanour battery after a tussle with Tommy Lee in the audience at the MTV Video Music Awards.
The 36-year-old rock-rapper received the citation after police reported to the Palms Hotel and Casino shortly after 22:00 on Sunday and interviewed people at the scene, Officer Bill Cassell said.
Kid Rock was not taken into custody, he said.
Both Lee and Kid Rock are ex-husbands of Pamela Anderson, who was a presenter at the show.
MTV VJ Sway said during the post-show that he saw Kid Rock walk up to the 44-year-old Motley Crue drummer, who was sitting next to Sean "Diddy" Combs, and "deck him."
Cassell said Kid Rock could face up to six months in jail, but that it would be uncommon for someone facing similar charges to receive such a lengthy sentence.
