Tommy.

The tape.

f*ck the police!

We'll get our own guy.

- Let me do some digging here.
- [RAND] Ah!

Where the f*ck do I find this guy?

He's not here. Don't worry.

He'll turn up eventually.

[RAND] Seattle. Let me guess... webcams.

- Very good, yeah.
- [RAND] They say it's

the future of p*rn.

And I would agree with them.

[TOMMY] I love you so much.

[PAM] There's a bunch
of camera guys sitting around

watching us have sex.

Do you have any idea
how humiliating it was?

You're being way too chill.

Every second that passes,
this tape could be spreading.

Baby, we will get it back.

- This'll all be fine!

You did the right thing by coming in.

Yes, he did.

Yeah. Well, no... well, I hope so.

I mean, she's kind of my idol.

What would you say is your

Um, I guess I would have
to say her... toughness.

- Yeah?
- [PAM] Yeah, you know, no matter

what life throws at her
and no matter how bad it gets,

she just... fearlessly powers through.

Do you feel like you take
after her in that way?

I mean, not to pat myself on
the back or anything, but yes.

You know, when something bad happens,

all I want to do is move on,

move past it, put it

[EXCITING MUSIC PLAYING]

We start tonight with the latest antics

from Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee.

The notorious bad boy rocker
got himself thrown out

of The Viper Room early this morning

after getting into an
alleged altercation

with a pair of men in
the club's restroom.

Eyewitnesses said Lee,
the hubby of Baywatch babe

Pamela Anderson, appeared
to be highly intoxicated

as he was forcibly
removed from the infamous

Sunset Strip nightclub
by security personnel.

[GAIL] This is not helpful.

Everything he does reflects on you.

If he is a train wreck, you are
a train wreck by association.

[SIGHS] I understand.

Classy A-list actresses
do not have this stuff.

You don't see Hard Copy doing
a story on Sandra Bullock's

husband getting tossed
out of The Viper Room.

No. No, I get it.

I'll talk to him. It won't happen again.

I hope not, for your sake, Pammy.

- Um...
- The fight?

What?

Um, well, it's nothing.

- Pamela?

[PAM] It's nothing.
It's nothing. It's...

Is there something I should know about?

Jesus.

I mean, it's super underground.

I mean, barely anybody knows about it.

How many copies have they sold?

[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY] I don't know.

I mean, , .

[GAIL] Has anybody written about it yet?

Oh, you mean press? No.

- I don't think so.
- [GAIL] You don't think?

I mean, I haven't exactly
combed through newsstands.

- [GAIL] Did you do a web search?
- No.

A bunch of publications
are on there now.

Started, like, three months ago.

The whole paper, in computer form.

[SCOFFS]

doubt they're writing

about a sex tape.

any publication with a site.

What... what...

What's your concern, Pamela?

My concern is,

if he's not planning
to do anything and we sue,

he could suddenly decide
to do it to get back at us.

Plus, if we sue, it puts
all this attention on the tape.

It could turn it
into something way bigger

than it would have been,
