CHRIS - LIL' CHRIS BEATS MUGGERS

British teen pop star LIL' CHRIS successfully fought off two muggers who tried to steal his mobile phone in London. The 16-year-old - real name CHRIS HARDMAN - had just left a meeting with his record company when the two youths pounced. But the singer, who found fame on GENE SIMMONS' ROCK SCHOOL TV show, fought back and won. He explains, "There was no way I was giving these bullies my phone. I've just got it and it's got some new songs I've written on it. "I don't like fighting but I hate bullies."
