Kid Rock is returning to the MTV Video Music Awards for another hit performance _ and this time it does not involve a fistfight with Tommy Lee.
The boisterous rocker is slated to perform "All Summer Long" off his platinum-selling CD "Rock 'N Roll Jesus." Though it was released nearly a year ago, it has surged on the charts and is currently one of the top five selling CDs.
Last year, Kid Rock was not a performer, but he was involved in one of the ceremony's most talked about moments when he scuffled with Tommy Lee while they were sitting in the audience. Both were at one time married to Pamela Anderson, who was also in attendance.
The fight was not shown on camera, but provided fodder for jokes from the likes of Diddy and Jamie Foxx.
Rock is the third act confirmed for the awards show, to be held Sept. 7 in Los Angeles. Other performers are Lil Wayne and the Jonas Brothers, though there is a possibility that Britney Spears _ whose bleary kickoff performance at last year's show became one of 2007's most talked about moments _ may join them.
MTV told The Associated Press earlier this week they are in negotiations to have the star there in some capacity, and she has already taped two promotional ads for the show with host Russell Brand.
