A few weeks ago, Ellen Degeneres had professional bimbo Pam Anderson on her talk show as a guest. Since she doesn’t know how to do anything else, Pam took off her clothes and pranced around in a bikini on the show. Today, when Kid rock appeared on Ellen’s show, the talk show host showed him the clip of his ex-wife and asked him to “explain her to me” Kid responded with the classic “sign of the cuckoo,” to great laughter. When Ellen asked him if he was still friends with the former Baywatch star, and he gave a very honest answer.

It seems like every time a celebrity couple calls it quits, we hear the same boring requisite response that, while things may not have worked out, they’re still going to be lifelong pals.

Whatever.

That’s why it’s so refreshing when a guy like Kid Rock comes along and tells it like it is. During an appearance on today’s Ellen DeGeneres Show, he talks about his current relationship with his married-six-months-before-getting-divorced ex, Pamela Anderson.

After showing Kid a clip of his former missus doing a little striptease on the show a couple weeks ago, Ellen proceeds to ask if he and Pam are still tight.

“Not really,” the singer says. “If I saw her somewhere I’d say hi, but I try not to go in the same circles. I touched stove, stove was hot, I think I’ll not touch stove anymore.”

Sounds like it’s true what they say: If you want an honest answer, simply ask a Kid.

It’s pretty well-documented that I think Kid Rock is a tremendous douchebag, but even I got a kick out of that response. He may be gross, but if I was forced to choose whom to set next to on a plane, Pam or Kid, I’d go with Kid. At least you can sort of have an entertaining conversation with him. As for Pam being the human equivalent of a “hot stove” – I’d say these days, she’s got a few burners out.
