Hold placed on Kid Rock video

Kid Rock has won an initial victory in his attempt to stop the release of an explicit sex video featuring the rap-rocker, former Creed singer Scott Stapp and four women.

U.S. District Court Judge John Feikens of Michigan signed a temporary order that stops David Joseph and his World Wide Red Light District company from distributing or promoting any portion of the tape, including a 40-second preview clip of the video that was previously displayed on Red Light District’s websites. Another hearing is scheduled Friday.
