. .. you getting punked by Tommy Hillfiger. http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/32671677 Axl: Hilfiger 'Just Kept Smacking Me' 05/20/2006 12:17 PM, AP Verena Dobnik 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."
RR- Just an FYI, Axl didn't get punked by TH. TH kept smacking Axl on the arm as Axl tried to WALK AWAY from the situ. Do a search for the pics.
didn't say Axl wasn't talented, it is just very well documented the guy has been an ******* for most of his career.
I used to hear it all the time and I stopped buying his clothes because of it. The reason I heard was because he said he didn't make his clothes for "urban people." The funny thing is, Hilfiger clothing got a big upswing because of Snoop Dogg, he wore a Hilfiger shirt during an SNL performance and I believe after that is when his product line became super popular. I believe that myth was disspelled though.
Snopes tackled the Racist Hilfiger urban legend. Sounds debunked to me: http://www.snopes.com/racial/business/hilfiger.asp
Yeah but a the time Snoop was the biggest act in hip-hop and he had a very broad audience with his SNL appearance. That's why I think he is given credit for making the label appear in the different ranges.
