Anna Kournikova Involved in Las Vegas 'Catfight'

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas ... unless the New York Post's "spies" or "sources" or "whatever the hell they want to call them" are on hand. And in fact they apparently were there when "tennis ace" (HA) Anna Kournikova got into a bit of a melee with another lady patron.

Allegedly, the patron threw some drink at Kournikova and that's when the fighting started.

Kournikova and her pals were partying at Lavo after attending the Hardbat Classic table tennis tournament when a woman at the next table "threw a drink at Anna. She felt Anna was invading her space," our source said. Kournikova "sprung into action" and starting screaming at the woman and shoving her. "It was a big fight," the spy said. The woman was kicked out only after leaving Kournikova with some vicious scratch marks on her neck. Kournikova's rep didn't return calls.

Seriously? "Invading her space"? I suppose I can see how someone could get really jealous of an attractive former "tennis ace" hogging all the limelight in a giant Vegas nightclub, except, well, I can't. Because it's Las Vegas. And it's a nightclub.

If Kournikova (*wild speculation alert!*) slept with her boyfriend or was flirting with her husband or did anything that could maybe have remotely justified this, then, well, yeah, you go girl. Or something. But as it is, someone needs to tell crazypants to tone it down before she does something really stupid and messes with a real athlete.
