Devoted Cake Eater Readers I present to you Tommy Lee: University of Nebraska-Lincoln...student.
LINCOLN, Neb. - Multi-tattooed rocker Tommy Lee (news), a high school dropout, plunged into life as a University of Nebraska student Thursday — for reality TV. Lee mingled with fellow Cornhuskers for an NBC show in which he'll take classes in chemistry, literature and the history of rock 'n' roll. Flanked by production crews and cameras, Lee bought books and Nebraska apparel at the University Bookstore while a mass of onlookers strained for a glimpse. "It's like a big circus," student Paul Penke said. On Monday, the Motley Crue drummer will even try out for the Nebraska marching band. NBC spokeswoman Susan Ross said the network hopes to get six episodes worth of footage for a series set to air next summer. Lee will have a tutor and live off-campus.Since the football team's not doing so hot this year (by Nebraskan standards, anyway)I'm sure Tommy's visit to Lincoln will be the hottest thing since they filmed Terms of Endearment there and Jack Nicholson flew in for a few hours to shoot.
He'll have to drive to Omaha to find hookers, though.
