From www.melodicrock.com:

AND THE ROCK STAR IS...:
It has been the source of speculation for months. But finally news is about to be made official. Get ready for Rock Star: Tommy Lee.
The star drummer has been in negotiations with the show's producers for the last few weeks (you might recall my hint of March 1) to take on a star role in the revamped show format. The house band will be retained, with Tommy Lee - the Motley Crue drummer and seasoned solo artist - taking the place of Inxs searching for his next Rock Star lead vocalist. The winner will front Lee's next studio album and a tour (timing to be determined).
Rumors over who would front the show following Inxs' 2005 role have been widespread since the first season finale. After a suitable band could not be found, it was originally decided to gather a group of name musicians and search for a singer for a brand new band - until Lee stepped in that is.

An official announcement is expected within a day or two, but Lee gave this hint away as recently as yesterday in an interview with the Richmond Times-Dispatch. (thanks to Blabbermouth for the link) Lee's interview extract:
Q. Any chance of another season of "Tommy Lee Goes to College" or are your academic days over?
A. In about two days you're gonna hear a statement about something new. I'm looking at the press release right now, but I can't tell you what it is.
Q. Is it an NBC press release?
A. No, a different network.
Q. But we'll be seeing you back on TV?
A. Absolutely.
And this from one of the show's hosts, guitarist Dave Navarro: "As for Rockstar, I still am unable to comment, but the press release should be a day or two away. As soon as the line up is announced, I'll be able to answer some questions about the season and finally chime in. It will be a different show this year, but one that should certainly be entertaining to watch."
Stay tuned for that official announcement and press release.
I still say that Van Halen should have done this gig.

I forgot to ask this question in my original posting:

How was Tommy Lee in his 'back to school' show? I didn't watch it. Was he any good/entertaining, and would he be a good persona to watch in this 'RockStar' format?

I certainly hope that you are right in your statement. I would have NO PROBLEM AT ALL being in total error with the subject line of this post. However, the site that I got this from is usually very dead on with it's postings. We'll see next week, I guess.

i have a really hard time believing Van Halen would be involved in this show. Granted it would be a giant coup for Burnett and the producers, but Van Halen is just too damn big of a band to do this show.

If it's not Tommy Lee, I'm sure he'll throw something else against the wall to see if it sticks. This guy just wants attention so badly.
