Steve Buscemi and Vince Vaughn in Barrom Brawl! Yikes! Buscemi is stabbed 3 times in the face, throat, and arm was hospitalized overnight. Somewhat ironic the Movie they were filming is called "Domestic Disturbance."

It's pretty funny that it was Vince who started it by flirting with some girl and it was Steve who ended up bloody and messed up. I think they were playing true to type....Either that or the hack journalist who wrote the wire story simply fitted their characters' schemas onto the situation and fabricated the explanation. Can't believe anything you read, you know?

Pretty funny if you were Vince Vaughn. I imagine Steve Buscemi isn't exactly chuckling about getting stabbed in the head.

Heheh, "stabbed in the head." That kills me.

I wonder if this ever happened at Trees Lounge.

Well, we don't know that Vaughn started it. Maybe the girl approached him, and maybe it was completely innocent celebrity swooning. Then again, maybe it was some kind of Swingers situation ...

I'm just waiting for some balanced reporting comparing this to Puff Daddy-style clubbing. "We must do everything legally possible to keep these violent white actors out of our bars!"

On the bright side, a prominent stabbing scar will probably improve Buscemi's mug.

My reading of this excellent piece of important reportage is that Vaughn and Buscemi (as a team) were in a fight with a couple of locals, not in a fight with each other.

I could be wrong, though, and I, for one, hope we can get to the bottom of this.

But now, as I reread the above posts, it doesn't look like anyone suggested Vaughn and Buscemi were fighting each other.
