The hard-charging, hard-partying, carbon-laden world of tour bus-living musicians doesn’t exactly scream green! Now, TLC challenges two icons to join the newest trend in music; ‘going green.’ BATTLEGROUND EARTH: LUDACRIS vs. TOMMY LEE challenges hip hop superstar Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and rock god Tommy Lee to battle against the toxic forces destroying Mother Earth as they travel across the country on a 10-episode tour. The series premiere is August 7 at 8PM/7C on TLC.
Viewers witness the two stars pushed to the limit as they attempt to keep their high-wattage acts on an eco-friendly course. Enlisting the help of their posses, aka “ecorages,” Ludacris taps Willie Box, Sesean Bridges, and Tony “4-IZE” Hayes III while Tommy Lee relies on Diggity Dave, Johnny Colt, and Nina Bergman to help him get to the finish line. In case the ecorages don’t add enough to the competition, Ludacris and Tommy have plenty of celebrity guests to turn to including Jane Fonda, Sean Combs, Pamela Anderson, Gene Simmons, and anyone else willing to lend a hand. Ludacris and Tommy Lee dive right into the BATTLEGROUND EARTH competition with unexpected and sometimes hilarious results.
In the “Fast Fuel” episode Ludacris and Tommy Lee’s bio-diesel tour buses are running on empty in the middle of the Texas Panhandle. They must roll into a fast food restaurant and look for fast food grease to turn into eco-friendly fuel. In another episode the duo shows up in Las Vegas to set the Guinness World Record for taking the “Largest Shower.”
Throughout the tour they battle to get the word out about the state of the environment. This Rap n’ Roll battle culminates in a green carpet benefit concert at LA’s legendary Greek Theatre. The concert featuring Luda, Tommy Lee and many of their famous musician friends raised more than $33,000, including a donation from Treeland, benefiting the renewal of Griffith Park, which was devastated by recent wildfires.
BATTLEGROUND EARTH is not about winning the race but ultimately raising awareness about the environment. Spots called “Pass it On” featuring an eclectic group of celebrities including Magic Johnson, Wayne Brady, Travis Tritt, and Criss Angel, among others, offer eco tips to viewers and are featured throughout the 10-episodes.
When Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson’s short lived marriage ended, Tommy Lee jumped back in and the two have been dating ever since - pictures of their recent holiday in Hawaii clogged up the blogosphere
But it seems Pammy isn’t enough for Tommy Lee
FOR hard rocker Tommy Lee, sharing Pamela Anderson with Kid Rock wasn’t enough. Spies at the Victoria’s Secret party at Tao Beach in Las Vegas the other night said Lee was vying for Rock’s Danish vixen, May Anderson, all night. “He was desperately trying to talk to May,” said one onlooker. “Tommy even sent members of his entourage over to ask her to join him at his table.”
However Kid Rock’s latest conquet wasn’t interested in what Tommy Lee had to offer and politely brushed him off
Our source said the leggy lass refused his advances and instead opted for the polite conversation of Heidi Klum and Karolina Kurkova.
May is a Danish supermodel who has worked for both Victoria’s Secrets and Sports Illustrated. Rockers Kid Rock and Tommy Lee might have a thing for Anderson as besides being a successful model she is also known to be a bit of a wild child. In April of last year she was arreseted for hitting a flight attendnat on a flight from Amsterdam to Miami. A Miami-Dade police officer reported that she was “loud and dsiruptive all throughout the flight” and that she continued this behaviour with officers. In July 2006 in order to avoid a trail she accepted a deal whereby she had to undergo an anger management course.
Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock were both in Vegas to ring in 2007, though at separate parties obviously seeing as there divorcing. However Kid Rock must still be harbouring some feelings for the ex-Baywatch babe. When he heard that Pammys’ ex, rocker Tommy Lee was in town and that the two were rumoured to be hooking up, he didn’t take it all that well. Apparently he tried to hunt down Tommy Lee, so Kid Rock headed over to the Hard Rock Hotel. According to Page 6 sources, he got there:
“at 6 a.m. with two bodyguards, and began kicking down what he thought was Tommy’s door. Only it wasn’t - and Kid found himself staring at some poor, startled family. He signed an autograph for them as security arrived, then bolted over to the Paradise strip club.”
Turns out according to Tommy Lee’s reps that Tommy was staying at the hotel, but on a different floor.
Kid Rock’s friends are claiming that Tommy had been calling him and bragging about him and Pamela.
Either way it looked like Pam was enjoying herself without the company of either man when she hosted TAO’s New Year’s Eve party
