Celebrity fight club continues at club Hyde in Hollywood. Tattoo festooned Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker's estranged wife Shanna Moakler lets loose on poor heiress, Paris Hilton. That's one version.
The real question here is rocker Travis Barker worth all this commotion?
Paris Hilton has been romantically linked to former Blink 182 drummer, apparently to the chagrin of Barker's estranged wife, Dancing with the Stars' Shanna Moakler. Both women filed police reports Wednesday morning, alleging they were assaulted at Hollywood club Hyde.
Officer Sandra Escalante of the Los Angeles Police Department reports that Hilton told police that at approximately 1:30 a.m. she was the victim of battery at Hyde after getting into an altercation with Moakler.
Hilton's publicist, Elliott Mintz, told TMZ.com that the 25-year-old made the scene at Hyde approximately a half-hour earlier.
"Shortly after her arrival, apparently Shanna appeared and, according to a complaint that's just been filed, she struck Paris in her jaw with closed fists," he said. "Paris was hit. She immediately exited the club through the back door.
"Paris told me it was completely out of the blue without any provocation whatsoever," he said, adding that Moakler was "shouting all kinds of foul words" at Hilton "and appeared to be completely out of control."
TMZ reports that Mintz said that Moakler, 31, was restrained by several people and that Hilton never touched her or made any attempt at retaliation.
"Not so," according to Moakler's rep, Susan Madore. Reported by E! Online.
Madore told the Associated Press that both women were exchanging profanities and that Hilton's ex-boyfriend, Greek heir Stavros Niarchos, stepped in and threatened to beat her.
TMZ reports that aproximately 10 minutes after the incident, Mintz said he received a call from Hilton, saying that she had been punched, that she did not require any medical attention, but that she did wish to file a report against Moakler.
Mintz and Hilton filed the complaint at the LAPD's Hollywood division, the exact location where Hilton was hauled in for suspected DUI almost a month ago.
According to E! Online, an additional complaint was registered by Moakler, a former Miss USA, who filed a police report at the same station against Niarchos.
Police said Moakler accused Niarchos of battery, claiming he pushed her in the club. Madore told the AP that the shipping heir also bent her wrists back, poured a drink over Moakler's head and shoved her down some stairs, though the latter allegations were not part of the police complaint.
Officers took photos of both Moakler and Hilton at the station, per TMZ.com, though it's unclear whether either had visible injuries.
Police say an investigation is pending. No arrests have yet been made and no charges have been filed.
Barker filed for divorce from his wife of less than two years in August, citing irreconcilable differences.
After the announcement, Moakler took to her MySpace page, saying she was "devastated" and "heartbroken" over the filing.
Barker fired back on his MySpace site, accusing Moakler of neglecting their two children, partying till all hours of the night and cheating on him.
TMZ stirred the pot when they posted a video featuring Barker and Hilton kissing in New York's Marquee nightclub.
TMZ.com claimed that shortly after the clip made the Internet rounds, Moakler left several "menacing" phone messages for Hilton.
Hilton's rep Mintz maintains that the duo are "just friends."
