Separation Of.... Celebs & Politics (According To Kid Rock)

You know, celebs have really been speaking about concerning John McCain and Barack Obama. Many of Hollywood's stars have publicly stated who they are supporting in the upcoming election and some (like Matt Damon, Oprah, etc) have even publicly talked about who they DO NOT like. Well, Kid Rock recently told CMT Insider his thoughts about celebrities and the Presidential candidates, you know what? I sort of agree with his statement, check it out:

"I truly believe that people like myself, who are in a position of entertainers in the limelight, should keep their mouth shut on politics. Because at the end of the day, let me tell you what I 'm good at: I'm good at writing songs and singing. What I'm not educated in is the field of political science. And so for me to be sharing my views and influencing people of who I think they should be voting for … I think would be very irresponsible on my part. So I'll just keep my mouth shut on that. I think celebrity endorsements hurt politicians. Because as soon as somebody comes out for a politician, especially in Hollywood, when they all go, 'I'm voting for this guy!' — I go, 'That's not who I'm voting for!' … As soon as Oprah Winfrey pops up and goes 'Ha-la-la-la-la,' I'm like, 'I love Barrack Obama. I hate Oprah Winfrey.' I don't hate her. I just don't believe in her, so I don't want any part of any of that. I think celebrities hurt politicians."

Dehydration sends Kid Rock to hospital

Kid Rock did not perform Friday at the Download Festival in England due to dehydration. The rocker was rushed to the hospital only minutes before his set, the British press has reported. Organizers of the festival said Kid Rock, 37, was hospitalized in Nottingham, nearly a hundred miles north of the capital.

He was due to perform on the main stage at 3:30, but just minutes before an announcement was made that he was unwell. His spokesman told the music magazine NME that his client had stomach cramps and was dehydrated. He had reportedly attended a party the night before that continued until the early morning of June 13.

Kid Rock stirred up controversy earlier in the week when he spoke to the The Guardian about his new hit, "All Summer Long." The reporter asked him about questions about whether the song is a racist anthem, a debate she compared to the confederate flag.

"I still use the confederate flag. Why should someone be able to own any image and say what it is?" he replied. "Sure, it's definitely got some scars, but I've never had an issue with it. To me it just represents pride in southern rock'n'roll music, plus it just looks cool."

Kid Rock Gets Arrested... AGAIN.

Kid Rock was arrested this past weekend at a Waffle House in Atlanta, GA. He was taken into custody on a misdemeanor charge of simple battery. He spent about 12 hours in jail until he was released.

“He and five members of his entourage were involved in a fight with a male customer inside the Waffle House,” said Mekka Parish, a spokeswoman for the DeKalb County Police Department. Who seriously gets into a fight at a breakfast chain?! C'mon, Kid!

Las Vegas police are now on the hunt for Kid Rock due to an altercation that took place between Rock and Motley Crew drummer Tommy Lee at last nights MTV Video Music Awards. Details about what started the fight are still sketchy at this time according to TMZ.com, but it would be safe to assume that it has something to do with both men being former husbands to Pamela Anderson. Inviting all three to the same event was a catastrophe waiting to happen. Apparently Lee was the instigator of the brawl and he became agitated when Rock was ignoring him. It is unknown at this time if Lee will press charges. For more info check out this article from the Associated Press.
