A pretty small chunk of change for Kid Rock. The Rock N Roll Jesus artist agreed to pay $35,000 to settle a battery lawsuit filed by three guys who claimed that Rock and a rap group knocked them around outside a Hollywood hotel in 2006. Michael Medlin, who supposedly suffered a knee injury that required surgery, had sued for $5 million, while coplaintiffs Jose Perez and Carlos Bonilla had gone after $2.5 million and $1 million, respectively. Testifying on his own behalf, Rock denied having anything to do with the guys getting beat up or having their cameras stolen after they approached Rock and the Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. for autographs in the early morning hours of March 22, 2006, as the group was leaving the...

Is the proof in the put-down? Accused of aiding in the assault of three guys who asked for his autograph in 2006, Kid Rock testified Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court that, first of all, the plaintiffs are lying when they say he lashed out at them with the threat: "Who wants a piece of me next?" "I wouldn't say something corny like that," the self-proclaimed badass said on the stand, before further denying that he punched, kicked or in any other way assaulted Michael Medlin, Jose Perez and Carlos Bonilla, who sued the music star in March 2008. "It was kind of chaotic," Rock remembered. "There were cameras everywhere and people yelling." And yeah, maybe things...

Kid Rock has been sued for battery by three men accusing him of lashing out after they asked for his autograph, leaving them "seriously injured".
Michael Medlin, Carlos Bonilla and Jose Perez filed suit in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday. They are demanding $15 million (GBP7.5 million) in damages after Rock - real name Robert Ritchie - and members of hip-hop group the Boo-Yaa Tribe allegedly assaulted them outside Hollywood club Teddy's on 22 March, 2006.
According to legal documents obtained by entertainment TV channel E!, Rock and fraternal rappers Paul, Ted, Donald, Roscoe, Danny and David Devoux have all been listed as defendants in the case.
The three plaintiffs are claiming wage loss, loss of use of property, hospital and medical expenses, property and general damages and loss of earning capacity. They were allegedly attacked after approaching Rock and the Devoux brothers with notebooks.
Medlin, Bonilla and Perez have also taken aim at the Roosevelt Hotel's poor security system, where the club is located - which left them in a "dangerous and hazardous" situation.
The suit states "Kid Rock and members of the Boo-Yaa Tribe assaulted and battered all three plaintiffs" and they were "left on the ground seriously injured as Kid Rock and his entourage drove off".
Ironically, earlier this month Rock signed autographs for charity in a Duluth, Georgia Waffle House restaurant to make amends for a fight he was allegedly involved in at one of the chain's eateries last year. A not guilty plea in that case was entered on Kid Rock's behalf in a DeKalb County State Court 3 March.
