He’s So Hot Right Now - Chili Pepper Lashes Out

added 24 March 2005 at 12.02

Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis was involved in a fracas with a mob of security men at a catwalk show during Fashion Week in Los Angles – Altogether now, Blue Steel! Le Tigre! Ferrari! Magnum!

The alleged altercation took place when Kiedis attended the show of designer Jenni Kayne, and decided that he’d go backstage after the runway show to congratulate Kayne (a friend no doubt introduced through his ex-girlfriend
supermodel Heidi Klum).

However, the singer was prevented from entering the backstage area by bouncers who had been instructed to stop anyone from entering until $10 million-worth of Martin Katz jewellery had been collected from the models.

According to the New York Times, Kiedis wasn't happy with this and tried to barge his way through, "He pushed a very large security guard and ripped his pants," said a source. "It took eight security men to hold him down." 

In other Red Hot Chili Peppers news, the band have revealed they’ve already written 35 songs for their next album. The band are expected to start recording the follow up to 2002’s ‘By The Way’ sometime this month (March) with Kiedis telling MTV "We're so in love with the songs we wrote. We're working really hard."
