She Likes to Eat the Dirt

Hey, you did it. I'm just mocking it.

Welcome to the jungle.

After years of getting beat down by the likes of Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan and Calvin Klein, designer Tommy Hilfiger has added a new, and rather unlikely, nemesis to his list – Guns ‘N Roses lead singer Axl Rose.

The New York Daily News reports that Tommy and Axl were both, oddly enough, at Plumm in New York City, the location where actress Rosario Dawson’s birthday party was being held. The scuffle started when Axl gently suggested that Tommy move his girlfriend Dee Ocleppo’s drink from where it was positioned on the bar so it wouldn’t spill on either Dee or Axl, who was scheduled to perform later that evening.

"She was sitting next to Tommy, and Axl may have jostled her a little. Tommy put his hand out, Axl grabbed Tommy's arm and pushed it hard, and Tommy came back with a fist," a source told the newspaper. Thus, a fight ensued. Tommy reportedly starting swinging, whereas Axl surprisingly remained calm, and security escorted the designer out of the bar shortly thereafter. Axl remained inside and later dedicated a song, You’re Crazy, to Tommy.

The Hilfiger camp declined to comment when asked about the incident. And it’s probably safe to say that like Tommy’s ego, the prices on Hilfiger merchandise have since been similarly cut down.
