TOURING TOMMY LEE GLAD TO BE BUSY, SOBER.


Byline: Marilyn Beck & Stacy Jenel Smith

Motley Crue's Tommy Lee This article is about the American drummer Tommy Lee. For other uses, see Tommy.

Tommy Lee (born Thomas Lee Bass on October 3, 1962), is a Greek American rock musician.
 insists he's not worried about falling off the wagon when the group hits the road in June to promote its new ``Generation Swine'' CD.

Says Lee, who took a vow of sobriety in December to save his marriage to Pamela Anderson

Pamela Denise Anderson (born July 1, 1967) is a Canadian-born actress, sex symbol, glamour model, producer, TV personality, and author.
, ``I don't really have time to get into too much trouble on tour. Back in 1989, when I was on the Doctor Feelgood Tour, I took a break from drinking and stuff for about a year and a half. One of my problems is that boredom kills me. When there's nothing to do, I'm like, `Well, we'll have some drinks.' Then one leads to 800. It's actually better for me when I'm busy.''

Lee says when Motley Crue heads out June 11 on the promotional tour, Pamela and their 10-month-old baby boy will join him ``when they can. She's in the development stage of her own show. She's got two series going at once, so whichever one pans out, I'm sure she's going to pursue. She's also got a movie coming out called `Dumped.' ''

The big-screen scene

A bitter struggle is going on to win an R rating for ``Bliss,'' which opens June 6. ``It's been a nightmare,'' says filmmaker Lance Young.

 board said there's not any one image that's offensive.'' Young says the ratings board initially issued ``Bliss'' an NC-17 based on its ``accumulative'' sexuality. He made several cuts and got an R, he says. But after the feature was scored and all the final sound and optical work was done, ``We showed it to them again and they said `No, it's an NC-17.' ''

The filmmaker demanded an arbitration. But, he blasts, ``It was a complete charade. We screened it in front of 12 exhibitors and distributors ... five women and seven men. The women said it's an R movie, the men said it's NC-17.''' He notes that in test screenings, the film has been embraced by women but not men. ``The movie tries to say that people have to take steps to take action; to move in a matter.

Now Young has given up his right to final edit on ``Bliss'' because ``I didn't have any more ideas on how to change the film without hurting it. So the studio hired an editor. I have yet to see what they've done.''

A pregnant pause

Leeza Gibbons reports she's being extra nice to the staff of her ``Leeza!'' talk show right now - they've had to radically alter their hiatus plans due to her pregnancy. There'll be a brief late May/early June down period, ``Then we'll start banking shows for the fall.'' Come October, when the baby is due, ``The staff will get a nice hiatus, while I'll be a little busy,'' she says.
