"My darling, did Axl call you a name? I will limp wrist slap him my love!"

BEHIND nearly every good bar fight is a beautiful woman - and the epic nightclub clash between Axl Rose and Tommy Hilfiger is no exception. While some say Hilfiger popped Rose in the eye after the Guns N' Roses frontman moved Hilfiger's girlfriend's drink at The Plumm last Thursday night, Page Six has learned that the combatants have been at odds since Rose started dating Diane O'Connor, the ex-wife of Hilfiger's adopted brother, denim designer Michael H.
One source even went so far as to claim that the Hilfiger brothers had made a "pact" to pummel Rose on sight. While we're not sure we believe that the preppie fashion icon - who just sold his empire for $1.6 billion - would engage in such premeditated thuggery, it might explain his seemingly unprovoked attack on Rose.
A spokeswoman for Hilfiger declined repeated requests for comment yesterday, and Rose's manager did not return calls.
But Rose told Page Six in an exclusive interview after the brawl that Hilfiger may have been angry because the designer - whom Rose described as "foaming at the mouth" - had been told to move to make room for the rock god and his entourage.
Other witnesses said Hilfiger went nuclear after Rose moved a drink belonging to Hilfiger's girlfriend.
When Guns N' Roses took the stage shortly after the scuffle to perform an acoustic set to mark actress Rosario Dawson's 27th birthday, Rose - sporting a small red mark under his eye - dedicated the song "You're Crazy" to "my good friend Tommy Hilfiger."
But if O'Connor was the reason for his rift with Hilfiger, Rose was sticking to his story on Sunday afternoon, when artist Mark Kostabi ran into him on Ninth Avenue in Chelsea.

Let them all kill each other...I truly don't care.
...need pictures...
More celebs doing stupid things for pulbicity. Yawn!
By the way, Axl is Krappola without Slash, et al.
I concur. GnR is dead and has been for awhile.
BTW, Rosario Dawson is soooooo hot and soooooo underrated.
pulbicity = publicity
Spell check is a good thing. LOL
Axl Rose a rock god? When did he last produce something?
So Mr. Tough guy Axl got beat up by a fashion designer? I can believe it.
Ha! The two of them probably go about 220 pounds--combined. Super Super Fly-Weight.
Axl gets his hass kicked by a sewing dude..Chaaa, as if.
What an odd generational juxtaposition for me. Upon reading the title, my immediate thought was, "General Franks is going to tear Axl a new one."
I concur. GnR is dead and has been for awhile.

Yes. Did see Velvet Underground recently. Rather good. Now if they can keep their lead singer whatzisname clean and sober, they'll be all right.

I always thought of Axle Nose's band ,GNR, as the Monkees of the '90's. Slash plays ok, but he's nothin' special. Lots of promo and hype. Vel;vet Revolver has been pretty much of a "flash-in-the-pan", hasn't it. Of course they all made a lot of money.
To quote the Pied Piper of Hamelin, "Who gives a rat's @ss?".
**Laughing hysterically**
Thanks! That was priceless.
Lou Reed?
Rose
I dunno, looks like Hilfiger lifts weights. I would put my money on the effeminate, fit city slicker more than on the grubby, beer-guzzling druggie.
Getting your butt tuned by a clothing desighner must be the lowest of the low.
I guess the name of the band "Guns and Posers" was very appropriet.
