--Vince Neil Explodes After Valets Refuse To Return His Car

Vince Neil's temper is making headlines.  TMZ.com says the Motley Crue frontman lost his cool with some parking valets in Las Vegas last week when they wouldn't give him his Rolls Royce. The TMZ video shows Neil yelling at the attendants and banging his hand on the valet booth.  The attendants were reluctant to return the rocker his Rolls because he didn't have a parking ticket.  Vince claimed he never got one.  His other request was honored -- the police were called.  However, before officers arrived Neil did get his car back, and he left.  The valet company declined to make a police report of the incident.
