Tommy Lee

Thomas Lee Bass (born October 9, 1962) is a musician, formerly a drummer for the heavy metal band Mötley Crüe. He was born in Athens, Greece and had a brief (1995-1998) but famous marriage to Pamela Anderson. One of their private videos was stolen in 1997, which resulted in an example of nude celebrities on the Internet.

In 2001, 4-year-old Daniel Karven-Veres drowned at Lee's Malibu home during a birthday party for his son Brandon.

On April 17, 2003, a Superior Court jury took less than three hours to reject a wrongful death claim made by Daniel's parents, actress Ursula Karven and TV producer James Veres. The suit accused Lee of negligence for failing to have a lifeguard or someone trained in CPR present during the birthday party.

Aside from his marriages, arrests, and other tabloid fodder Lee is considered by some to be the best drummer of his generation.
