Looks like Kid Rock has caused some turmoil within NAACP.

Supporters of the group are planning to boycott their "Detroit arm's annual fundraiser" because they'll be honoring Kid Rock, who "doesn't mesh with the civil rights group's goals."

Many NAACP supporters have issues with Kid Rock because of his use of the Confederate flag during concerts, and as a result, they'll be sitting out from the fundraiser, where Kid will receive the "Detroit branch's Great Expectations Award."

Here's what head of Detroiters for Progress Adolph Mongo had to say about the misuse of the confederate flag:

"It's a slap in the face for anyone who fought for civil rights in this country. It's a symbol of hatred and bigotry."

And here's what NAACP officials had to say in Kid Rock's defense:

"Kid Rock…has consistently lifted up the Great Expectations of many persons…concerning the future of the city."

Do U think Kid Rock deserves the honor? Or do U also take issue with his usage of the Confederate flag during concerts?

Kid Rock fancies himself a postman when it comes to his live performances!

Recently, Arkansas has been getting a shizz-load of snow. This last batch just happened to be right before a big Kid Rock concert in Little Rock, but Rock decided to go on with the show.

This pissed off a few of his fans (probably a lot!) who would be unable to make the drive due to safety reasons to go see him!

That's bad news for them, but, there were also a lot of people who bought tickets to the show that were closer and COULD make it! Kid Rock didn't want you to put your life in harms way, he just did was he was supposed to be doing that night!

But that hasn't stopped some outrage from fans on his website and other venues, so KRock himself laid down some responses on his site.

Yes, they may have had a few bad words, but he was upset!

Here's what was said to those who couldn't make it:

"YOU WILL BE GETTING A REFUND, STRAIGHT OUT OF MY POCKET."

That's pretty generous!

More about the conditions:

"It's not easy to tour in these conditions and also be stuck on the road with a teenage son at home and in high school. I make alot of money, no question, but i've never ripped anyone off to do it."

We don't think it IS a rip off, Kid!

We can also understand the flip-side of this, though, where we'd be upset to miss a show we were looking forward to because of weather, but in that case, we should blame the weather and not the musician!

Plus, he totally said he'd give you your money back, which you could use to see him the next time!

Hope the tour is going well, and stay safe out there, bb!

Thoughts??

"He did come up and introduce himself. He said he had my old tour bus, I said, "Hope you had it sanitized, son."

Blasphemy!

LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian were reportedly shut out of an A-List party in Cabo San Lucas where they are currently vacationing.

The party was said to be hosted by Michael Meldman, the ex-boyfriend of Cibrian's ex, Brandi Glanville and celebs such as George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Kid Rock were in attendance.

"Michael had a huge party the night before New Years for his birthday and they weren't allowed to go," a source said. "They tried to get on the list, but he said no because of his allegiance to Eddie's ex-wife."

Ouch! That must have been awkward! And embarrassing!

Leonardo DiCaprio celebrated the end of 2010 the night before New Year's Eve with his supermodel girlfriend Bar Refaeli and a ton of other celebrity guests at a party at his private villa in Cabo San Lucas.

A source says, "Guests danced the night away — it was a great party."

It must have been with the guest list including Naomi Campbell, Kid Rock, Nicky Hilton, Paris Hilton, Jessica Alba, and Jennifer Worthington.

Sounds like he knows how to throw a good party with that kind of star power making an appearance!

We're looking forward to seeing some more great performances on the big screen from you in 2011, Leo!
