How bizarre… fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger, 55, smacked up Guns N’ Roses star Axl Rose, 44, at Rosario Dawson’s birthday party (held at The Plumm nightclub in the Manhattan neighbourhood of Chelsea) allegedly because Axl moved Hilfiger girlfriends drink so it wouldn’t spill. Hilfiger hit his arm, telling him to put the drink back, instigating a scuffle between the two.

According to E-online the Guns N’ Roses frontman said of the incident,

“I moved his girlfriend’s drink so it wouldn’t spill, It was the most surreal thing, I think, that’s ever happened to me in my life.”
“I said, ‘I don’t want it to spill.’ And he said, ‘It’s not going to spill.’ And I said, ‘Well, I don’t want to sit on it.’ And he said, ‘You’re not going to blanking sit on it,’ the Gunner said. “He just kept smacking me.”

Axl who later performed as a surprise for Rosario dedicated “You’re crazy” to “my good friend, Tommy Hilfiger.” (you can’t help but laugh!)
