Three months in the life of Tommy Lee will be revealed on September 23rd when the rocker's behind-the-scenes special VH1 Presents: Tommy Lee: the Naked Truth airs. The one-off show features Lee sounding off on a variety of topics including ex-wife and current Kid Rock fiance Pamela Anderson. "Pamela reminds me of a person who's sort of sinking and just grabbing any log to stay afloat she can," Lee offers on-camera. "I feel a little sad for her."

Of course it was with Anderson that Lee made his foray into the world of voyeur television in their infamous X-rated home movie, but Lee hopes that by allowing VH1 cameras into his Los Angeles home, he will show another side of his life. "I'm a very hard working dude," he told Rolling Stone during the June taping, "a great father [to his and Anderson's two sons, Brandon and Dylan], a singer, songwriter, guitar player, drummer, producer, etc. . . . There are so many misconceptions."

Lee's latest album, Never a Dull Moment, was released in May.
