Kid Rock Crashes Wings Beach Party With Lord Stanley

I love hockey news in the Summer. Instead of breaking down the left wing lock we get to trawl in the nation's gossip pages. And this morning, we get to hang in that wonderful sweet spot where hockey, surfing and the world of popular music collide.

In this morning's edition of the New York Daily News, gossip columnists Rush & Molloy pass along news of how noted Red Wings fan Kid Rock crashed a party at uber-surfer Laird Hamilton's place in Malibu. Apparently, a group of unnamed Detroit Red Wings were at Hamilton's compound with Lord Stanley in tow when ... we'll let the gossip mongers take it from here:

Surfing star Laird Hamilton didn't seem to mind that Kid showed up at Hamilton's Malibu beach house with a retinue of leggy, cleavage-bearing, slightly-past-their-prime party favors. But Hamilton's wife, Olympic volleyball champ Gabrielle Reece, did not appreciate the uninvited guests.

"These ladies were skanky," our spy observes. "Gabrielle didn't say anything but you could tell she was fuming."

So how much credence should we place in this report? Well, Hamilton and Red Wings defenseman Chris Chelios are old friends. Back during the lockout, there was even talk that the two would drop hockey and surfing for a while in an attempt to qualify for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin representing Greece in the 4-man bobsled.

As for the rest of the Wings, they apparently forgot the Cup on the beach for a while, where the report says some folks mistook it for an ashtray. Given the colorful history of the Cup, color me unconcerned.

Thanks to J.P. for the pointer.

I was going to say that Kid Rock was one of the lucky no talent people that are making millions off of stupid people, but I forgot his one talent: attracting skanky chicks. Being a guy, I appreciate that talent.

Kid Rock isn't skanky! That's just that "I slept with Pamela Anderson" look. Tommy Lee has the same thing. And the smell.

Kid Rock...another thing for Detroit to be ashamed of.

Women have a different view of "Skanky" then do men....If my wife caught me with Jessica Alba, trust me she'd think Jessica was "Skanky"....

Not many out there, if any, wouldn't love to be as TRASHY and RICH as yours truly, (girls included).

I do not blame Gabrielle for one moment. I can only imagine what type of trash Kid Rock brought into her home. He is purely trash himself. I live in one of the more affluent cities in suburban Detroit and see him quite often in the trendy upscale restaurants in our neighborhood. What a joke. Just because he can more than afford to dine and drink there does not mean that he fits in by any means. And for those of you who are thinking that I am jealous...I am not. Nothing there to envy. Kid Rock needs to realize that he is not welcome everywhere. His bank account does not allow him a "pass", especially with skanks in tow. I have the looks and body to actually get away with wearing what some of his "lady friends" wear out to the local spots. However, at 40, I leave the "Forever 21" clothes in my stepdaughter's closet where they belong and opt for the classy/sexy age-appropriate knockout outfits. Perhaps I will offer to take Kid's posse for a little wardrobe refining next time I head off to the Somerset Collection.

I guess if I wrote something as lame as that column, I'd use a cartoon for a photo too. AOL has sunk to new depths in the past year. I would imagine that's where they found Eric.

Yo, you are wrong, Jane, when you say: "I don't blame her. Kid Rock is such trash. He treats women horrible and has no respect."

The correct statement is: "I don't blame her. Kid Rock is such trash. He treats women HORRIBLY, and has no respect."

No need to thank me. Just wanting to make sure the record is kept straight. Comet.

Do you notice a patern here? The only ones bashing Kid Rock are the fem-a-nazi chicks! All the guys are cool with it! I give the kid a thumbs up, I would trade places in a heartbeat! Chicks don't like him because he says it as it is. Hey ladies, if all of you think he is so bad, why do you still give up the punany to him! For every one chick that says they wouldn't touch him and call him a pig, there is 1000 of you that would drop the panties in a heartbeat to do him! Sounds like the few who hate him are the minority that he wouldn't care less about anyway so you don't really matter!

When Kid Rock was in our town my boyfriend came home to tell me that he was down at the third rock bar chillin with the locals! He was being himself!Very down to earth,sat and drank, conversed and even brought an autograph home written to ME! We thought him crashing was cool. He was very respectful and polite! You know it takes a very SECURE woman to appreciate other women even if they are not in your class. They have feelings too! Superior, WI Go Kid, you can crash our party this sun if you want! Boyfriends birthday!

Kid is basically living the life your husbands and boyfriends would choose to live if they had the means. Sumbitch is LIVIN' IT, ladies. And the funny thing is, y'all would be riding his tip for all it's worth given half a chance.

But hey...keep right on hatin'.

The Punisher will keep right on laughing his ass off at you.
