Axl Rose Says Hilfiger 'Just Kept Smacking Me'
By VERENA DOBNIK, AP


NEW YORK (May 20) - It was a one-two encounter between Axl Rose and Tommy Hilfiger. The rocker and designer capped a Thursday evening out at a new club called The Plumm in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood with midnight fisticuffs.

"There was an issue between the two of them," Plumm owner Noel Ashman told The Associated Press.

The scuffle reportedly started after the Guns N' Roses front man moved the drink of Hilfiger's girlfriend, Dee Ocleppo.

"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.

Attempts to reach Hilfiger or a representative were not immediately successful.

Rose was there to play a surprise set for "Rent" actress Rosario Dawson for her 27th birthday party.

At the time of the dustup, The Plumm was packed with a celebrity crowd including Lenny Kravitz, Mickey Rourke, Kid Rock, Peter Beard, Molly Simms, Wentworth Miller, Ann Dexter Jones, Lydia Hearst and Damon Dash.

Rose did perform, and dedicated the song "You're Crazy" to "my good friend Tommy Hilfiger."

HAHA I love Axl I can't believe Tommy had the guts to mess with him lol. Axl could have kicked his ass though.



Check out Tommy's karate chop!! lol




This is the most amusing thing I've heard/seen in a long time.

Axl: "Tommy Boy! You're lucky -- (stay where you are, pal, OK?) -- these guys have us separated. Otherwise, I'd cream you. You-- you -- TWERP! (Hey, dude, just stay between me and him, OK?)"

weepingwall said:

well, while i dont care much for axl's music i have to give him credit for writing some very well respected tunes and at least one harolded album....

and from reports it sounds to me like axl was just defending himself from a bitchy tommy.....dont see why he should be faulted for this...

ThreadBare said:

sosgemini said:

Exactly...

What's with Axl's hair? Braids are not good on him

CalhounSq said:

I think it's been like that for years now.

minneapolisgenius said:

He's actually been seen in the past few years?

CalhounSq said:

Yes, and folks have been deriding his choice in hairstyles (my guess is he's balding) and in plastic surgery.

ThreadBare said:

He's had surgery? What did he get done? And where the fuck are people seeing this dude?

CalhounSq said:

Bars, mostly.

CalhounSq said:

Yeah, his face is all tight and weird lookng now.

Dee & Tommy down the hill
