Feud of the Week: Axl Rose vs. Tommy Hilfiger (Seriously)
What exactly would provoke a fistfight between designer Tommy Hilfiger and Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose? Alcohol, of course. On Thursday night, the guys were hanging out with their entourages at a NYC club called The Plumm, where Axl was going to play a surprise set at Rosario Dawson's birthday party. But when Axl dared to touch Tommy's girlfriend's drink, tempers flared and both men suddenly developed appetites for destruction. "I moved his girlfriend's drink so it wouldn't spill," Rose told the Los Angeles radio station KROQ on Friday. "It was the most surreal thing, I think, that's ever happened to me in my life." According to the 44-year-old singer, Hilfiger, 55, smacked him in the arm and told him to put the drink back. "He just kept smacking me," Rose said. While the fellas got slaphappy, stars like Lenny Kravitz, boxer Mickey Rouke, Kid Rock, Wentworth Miller and Molly Simms looked on. And later in the night, Axl did perform for the birthday girl. One of his songs? "You're Crazy," which he dedicated to "my good friend Tommy Hilfiger."
