In a drunken moment, Kid Rock lit up a stogie at a Travis Tritt show in Detroit on Friday, January 13,2012.  The venue was within a nonsmoking facility at the Andiamo Celebrity Showroom in Warren, Michigan and in a highly intoxicated state, Kid Rock fired up his cigar just 15 minutes into the performance.  Concert attendees were fuming and filed several complaints with the Health Department.

In customary Kid fashion, the 40 year old singer responded to the claims with a giant apology and a one finger salute.  He said “My most sincere apologies to the patrons I may have offended, and a big middle finger in advance to all the haters and attorneys who will somehow try to find an easy paycheck in all this.”  Kid furthered with “I doubt I’m the first one to ever make a bad decision while being intoxicated.”

Time to weigh in: what was in the cigar?  Was it tobacco?  Or was it another kind of grass?

UPDATE: Step away from your iPods, Robert Pattinson’s rep denies the reports that he is working on a solo music project…

Hey TwiHards, you’ll be elated to learn that your beloved Edward Cullen is taking a shot at the music scene.

It’s no secret — when Twilight star Robert Pattinson isn’t busy clandestinely courting Kristen Stewart and sparking pandamonium among teen girls, he loves to perform music.

It’s a little passion the heartthrob calls “his first love.”

Sorry, Kristen.
