April 20, 2006 -- "AMERICAN Idol" loser Bo Bice's 15 minutes of fame are way, way over - especially at O'Brien's pub on West 46th Street. That's where witnesses say the half-in-the-bag Southern rocker took a cheap and ineffective swing at strapping ex-New York Giants football star Glenn Parker Sunday night.

The bizarre tangle, in which the long-haired weakling inexplicably risked getting his block knocked off by the strapping former offensive lineman, began when the gentlemanly, star-struck Parker casually approached Bice to chit-chat.

"Glenn had noticed Bo and simply asked him if he was really Bo Bice - and Bo just stared at him and said, 'No, I'm not. My name is Kevin.' It was weird," our witnesssaid. "Glenn went away, but he started feeling like he might have imposed on the guy. So he went back to him to apologize for causing any discomfort."

Parker, 39 - who at 6-foot-5 and 300 pounds has crushed many an opponent during his 13 years in the NFL with the Giants, Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs - and everybody else in the popular watering hole couldn't believe what happened next.

"Bo just went at him with his fists - maybe he thought he was Simon Cowell or something, but he tried to hit him," our observer reports. "Glenn grabbed his arms to block the punches, but Bice broke loose and managed to graze Glenn under the chin. It was crazy because Glenn could have wiped the floor with him."

Parker signaled a bartender and together they threw the "Idol" also-ran out and told him to scram. "He was a real pain in the #####," one worker said.

Joey Lee, an agent for Bice, who lost out to Carrie Underwood in the smash-hit show's fourth season, didn't get back to us. Bice was once busted for felony cocaine possession in Alabama, but had the charge dismissed after completing a "drug diversion program."

Bice, who once broke his foot while performing in concert in Manchester, N.H., had a huge Top 10 hit last year with "Inside Your Heaven." He's lucky he doesn't have two heavenly shiners after his latest shenanigans.

Hmmm, with phrases like "loser Bo Bice's 15 minutes of fame are way, way over" and "long-haired weakling" make me tend to think this article wasn't written by a "neutral" reporter. Me thinks this is tainted with some half truths.

Siggy thanks to Syren!

Where'd yours come from?

Ummm. Yeah. "American Idol loser" was my first indication it wasn't a neutral reporter.
