Motley Crue's Tommy Lee Gets Animated

Motley Crue star Tommy Lee is to lend his voice to a new cartoon - based on his life story.

The rocker has signed up to take part in the making of The Life and Times of Jimmy Jaxx, which will be produced by the team behind the 2007 film Blades of Glory.

The Fox TV show is currently under development but is said to follow a rocker who tries to balance his experiences in a band with his calmer home life - but is constantly distracted by his tattoos which come to life and attempt to lead him astray.

Lee tells Blabbermouth.net, "I've always loved the animated world. How fun and kooky is this gonna be, to combine some real-life experiences with some seriously over-the-top humour."
