Kid Rock Challenges Judge Alvin T. Wong
Kid Rock was spotted leaving Crown in West Hollywood early Wednesday (January 7), where the singer was asked for his thoughts about the economy, prompting him to turn the question around. Then an autograph seeker asked for a signature, prompting Rock to grill him about whether he was a reseller. He later defended himself over the judge that didn't consider his performances for the troops community service when handing down his judgement on the Waffle House scuffle back in 2007. Judge Alvin T. Wong instead was sentenced to 1 year probation and a $1,000 fine. "The reason I had a problem with that was like, Yeah, I love to play my guitar," Rock said. "I would always go to sing for the troops overseas. I'll do that any year. I've done it four years in a row... If he wanted to punish me, he should've put me in jail, but he didn't. The point is, if he loves to practice law, he's an attorney. He became a judge. Why he doesn't go to practice fu**ing law in Iraq for a month. If he's so bad ass. If he wants to prove a point with me. Because there ain't no bigger community service than going to play for the soldiers who protect the freedom for you to put your camera on me right now."

Kid Rock spoke with CMT Insider about his belief celebrities should stay out of sharing their opinion about political matters. "I truly believe that people like myself, who are in a position of entertainers in the limelight, should keep their mouth shut on politics," the Detroit rocker said. "Because at the end of the day, let me tell you what I 'm good at: I'm good at writing songs and singing. What I'm not educated in is the field of political science. And so for me to be sharing my views and influencing people of who I think they should be voting for ... I think would be very irresponsible on my part. So I'll just keep my mouth shut on that. I think celebrity endorsements hurt politicians. Because as soon as somebody comes out for a politician, especially in Hollywood, when they all go, 'I'm voting for this guy!' — I go, 'That's not who I'm voting for!' ... As soon as Oprah Winfrey pops up and goes 'Ha-la-la-la-la,' I'm like, 'I love Barrack Obama. I hate Oprah Winfrey.' I don't hate her. I just don't believe in her, so I don't want any part of any of that. I think celebrities hurt politicians." Check out the full story here.Kid Rock ‘All Summer Long’ VMA Rehearsal Video
