Jessica Simpson’s dirty dancing nearly caused a brawl between two men during a night at a Los Angeles hotspot this week.

The singer-and-actress’ raunchy dancing at Hollywood nightspot Jane’s House reportedly caught the eye of a group of male revellers, but when one got too close to her, a man she was sitting with – who she was supposedly “on a date” with – intervened, nearly causing fists to start flying.

An eyewitness dishes to RadarOnline: “….The guys were screaming at each other. There were a lot of expletives flying back and forth. Jessica stood up and peeked her head outside the VIP section. It looked like she was looking for a security guard.”
