Motley Crue are a Bunch of Crybabies

Oh, now this is a good one. TMZ is reporting that the four members of Motley Crue are suing their manager, Carl Stubner along with the management group which represents him for giving them “bad business advice” and attempting to “divert funds.” And what, pray tell, does said “business advice” pertain to?

Furthermore, the suit claims, Stubner forced Tommy Lee to “to become engaged in ‘reality’ projects that were bad career moves for Lee, harming [Sixx, Mars, Neil and Lee], the Motley Crue brand and Lee’s own image.” The suit calls the low-rated NBC show “Tommy Lee Goes to College” a “critical disappointment and a ratings disaster,” adding it painted Lee as “incoherent, lazy and incompetent” and made him “look like a laughing stock who could not carry a drum beat.” The suit also claims Lee’s participation on “Rock Star: Supernova” “diminished the public’s interest in Lee and their overall perception of his musical talents.”

Overall perception of his musical talents? Incoherent, lazy and incompetent? That’s a bit brazen, I’d say — considering that Tommy Lee is incoherent, lazy and incompetent. The only reason why anyone (aside from 39 year old dishwashers living in their mom’s basements) gives a flying about Motley Crue or Tommy Lee is because he married a playmate, made a sex tape, and most likely contracted Hep-C. You don’t hear Vince “McChubbyarms” Neil crying about doing the “Surreal Life” or “Queer Eye,” now do you?
