LAS VEGAS — Former Pamela Anderson flames Kid Rock and Tommy Lee traded words in a heated exchange during Video Music Awards resulting in both rockers being escorted by security out of the Pearl Theater in the Palms Casino Resort.

According to eyewitnesses, Lee jawed at Rock as he made his way toward the Bad Boy CEO, with whom he was supposed to present the show’s final performance.

It wasn’t clear exactly what Lee said to Rock, but apparently after his words, Rock slapped the drummer, according to eyewitnesses.
