Except for the cigarette, Tommy Lee looks kinda cute here as he's arriving at Hadaka Sushi with a mystery woman. He's made it clear that he's delighted that his ex Pam Anderson seems to have finally split with Rick Salomon. Both Tommy and Kid Rock had a powerful aversion to Rick.

Nobody was more disappointed when Pamela Anderson changed her mind about divorcing Rick Salomon than her exhusband Tommy Lee. Tommy and Pam's other exhusband Kid Rock have something in common- they both hate Salomon. They think he's a low-life and not right for Pam. Tommy loathes the idea of his kids spending time with Rick. Could it be more than a coincidence that Tommy's close friend Criss Angel spent time with Pam in Las Vegas and most likely caused the blow-up that led Pam to file for divorce?
Spike TV's Scream Awards pulled in a surprisingly celebrity heavy crowd. The most talked about couple of the night was Tommy Lee and Criss Angel. They're both Greek and they've become best friends, according to Tommy. Tommy was very affectionate to Criss - rubbing his back and hugging him "like a brother." (Hmmm...does that mean no more Dave Navarro?) Tommy did turn his attention from Criss long enough to pounce on E.G. Daily. They found it "weird" that their kids are now step-brothers and sisters. (Tommy's ex Pamela Anderson married E.G.'s ex Rick Salomon.) Observes noted that Tommy and Criss are starting to dress alike. They did, however, leave separately that night.
You may be wondering how Tommy Lee ended up moving to Calabasas - it's an upscale suburban family community far from the bright lights of Hollywood. Tommy paid 6 million for his 9000 sq ft house with a piano shaped pool, and he likes the fact that there are plenty of golf courses nearby. Other homeowners have noticed a lot of big black Escalades in Lee's driveway and they say Tommy is friendly and wants to meet his neighbors. We're amused by the fact that Tommy discovered this manicured community called Vista Point when he used to visit friends making porn movies there. The pornographers would rent one of the posh homes for locations and Tommy liked to hang around and watch.
Pamela Anderson is still insisting that she and her exhusband Tommy Lee are NOT getting back together (even to her close friends) but her behavior indicates otherwise. Pam and Tommy and the kids are in Hawaii and we have learned they are sharing the SAME suite. They share many affectionate moments in public, as well. Will they remarry? Tommy IS pressuring Pam to do it again, but she has reservations. However, Tommy's lack of money is not an issue this time - apparently he made a bundle from the Supernova TV show and resulting band (in spite of disappointing concerts) and he's frugal, so he still has it ALL. Still, we think they're better off staying unmarried - like Goldie and Kurt.
Tommy Lee wants what he wants. His Rockstar Supernova band was playing in Memphis recently when Tommy had a wardrobe dilemma. He found himself desperately in need of socks! But the ONLY socks Tommy wears are sold at Target in West Hollywood. NOT necessarily at the Target stores in Memphis. Luckily they had a wardrobe person on the tour and Tommy had her fly to LA in the morning and run to the store to stock up on his special socks and then she and the socks turned around and flew right back to Memphis. He wore his new socks in the show that night. The band must be doing pretty well to afford indulgent day trips like that.
No WONDER someone has been demanding retractions of the story about Pamela Anderson's so-called "bad date" with billionaire Steve Bing. (We didn't write it.) Now it appears that Steve is making progress in his determined wooing of Pamela. Their mutual friend Heidi Fleiss is encouraging a romance, but Pam is not as enthusiastic as Steve. However, Steve HAS been quietly seeing Pam and his generosity and attention is bound to impress her after dating selfindulgent rockstars. Pammy still has a place in her heart for the father of her kids Tommy Lee, and they spent time together with the kids at Christmas, but she doesn't picture a future with him. She's trying to be open-minded about dating others. Last nght she was seen dining at Beige with friends but she left early explaining "I always get up early with the boys and take them to school." Britney could take a tip from her.
A few important details were left out of the Pam Anderson - Kid Rock story in Las Vegas. You may have read elsewhere that Kid Rock got riled up when he heard Pam left a Vegas party with her ex Tommy Lee and he broke down a hotel door to confront them. Kid Rock was misinformed. Actually Pam did NOT hang out in Las Vegas with Tommy. She was with a group of friends that included her new buddy Heidi Fleiss and billionaire Steve Bing. The group spent a comparatively quiet evening together. If Pam DID have a date with Steve recently, it couldn't have gone TOO badly because they're still palling around. We predict that Bing is gradually insinuating himself into Pam's life even though he is not her type. He's hoping that he will "grow on her." With his money, stranger things have happened.
Rockers Tommy Lee and Dave Navarro are friends AND rivals. They aren't competitive when it comes to music, but when women are involved it's a different story. They both want to be top dog with the rocker chicks. When Dave Navarro and his wife Carmen Electra split up, Tommy was sympathetic - and immediately called Carmen for a date. (We hear she didn't say no) Dave was NOT happy. When Dave heard that Tommy's exwife Pamela Anderson abruptly ended her marriage to Kid Rock, he was delighted at the prospect of evening the score. He commiserated with Pam about divorce and started flirting and asking her out. Smarty pants Pam figured out what the was up to and cut him off at the pass.
As if the debacle of Rockstar Supernova wasn't enough to rob him of his last remnant of rock n roll credibility, Tommy Lee has taken it a step further. He introduced his clothing line, TL for PL , (Tommy Lee for Peoples Liberation) at Bloomingdale's (not exactly the hippest of stores.) His collection includes t shirts, hooded sweats and denim feauring images of his tattoos. Here he models one of his designs - a faux army jacket with matching camo collar and cuffs. We think it's even too corny for Clay Aiken to wear.
This picture is dedicated to all the readers who DOUBTED us when we told you who the winner of Rockstar Supernova would be - WEEKS before the finale. Winner and new bandmember Lukas Rossi looks like he was a very personal choice for Tommy Lee - they obviously have a lot in common!
Whoops! It looks like legal problems have stripped Supernova of their name! This dilemma couldn't have worse timing--just as the band is about to go on tour. Tommy Lee, Jason Newsted, Gilby Clarke and OUR predicted winner Lukas Rossi, need a new name for their band - FAST! Got any suggestions?
