Mini Kiss v. Tiny Kiss

The battle of the ages.

Joey Fatale, the 4-foot, 4-inch New Yorker who heads the all-dwarf KISS tribute band MiniKiss, is denying published reports that he tried to sneak past security last month at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas to confront a rival band leader, 4-foot "Little" Tim Loomis of Tiny Kiss, for allegedly ripping off his idea for such a group.

Loomis, a former drummer for MiniKiss, was performing with Tiny Kiss, which includes three little people and a 350-pound woman, on St. Patrick's Day at Beacher's Madhouse, a Las Vegas variety show, when the incident occurred.

Show host Jeff Beacher told The Times on Monday that Fatale "tried to sneak in saying he was Tiny Kiss" and had to be escorted from the premises. According to the New York Post, Fatale's lawyers sent a legal cease-and-desist letter to the show trying to shut down the act.

I think they had the same problem with two groups calling themselves "Led Munchkin."

Can we just put this on the air NOW? Could anyone resist watching this Battle of the Bands? Why don't I run VH1? If I did, this would warrant 24-hour wall-to-wall coverage. If the cable news nets can get three months out of Natalee Holloway, I can get a solid week out of Tiny Kiss v. Mini Kiss.
