Cops: Big & Rich Singer in Hotel Smackdown

It was a real life battle of the bands this morning when the lead singer from the country band Big and Rich allegedly punched another rocker in a hotel ass-kicking early this morning.

Cops were called to the Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood at 4:20 AM, after John Rich got into it with Jerry Montano, a former bassist of the rock band Danzig. It appears someone got whupped, because paramedics responded to the scene at 4:28 AM. We're told one of the dudes was treated for a bloody nose but no one was transported to the hospital.

Cops say they're investigating the incident but no arrests have been made -- at least so far. Neither guy wanted to press charges against the other.

16. #15 You should check all your facts before you go rambling at the mouth. People should know by now you can't trust everything you read.

17. Hey If this guy is so against gay's then why in the hell is he in West Hollywood??? I think he just wants everyone to think he is straight, but in reality he is a big knob gobbler himself.
