ANDERSON, S.C. (AP) _ Kid Rock treated a few locals to private showing of the new movie ``Benchwarmers'' after performing for students at nearby Clemson University.

In true rock star fashion, the genre-crossing entertainer _ whose real name is Bob Ritchie _ rented out a movie theater Thursday, inviting everyone on his tour bus and a few locals.

Despite his celebrity, he says that offstage he is ``just Bob.''

``I try to stay humble,'' he said. ``People forget this is all just fun. Good spirits and fun. There's no evil, no bad. It's all just fun. We're here for a good time.''

He said he wanted to be one of the first to see the film, starring his friend David Spade, which opened Friday.

Kid Rock is promoting his album ``Live Trucker,'' a collection of his best-known songs recorded live over the past six years.
