Pamela Reunites With Poison Ex to Fight Sex Video

Seems those old sex videos never die, they just keep, er, popping up again. Although Pamela Anderson Lee couldn't block the distribution of the video featuring her sexploits with her ex-husband, Tommy Lee, she's reportedly ready to go to court to stop a distributor from releasing an earlier sex video.

This time, the video in question is one that the blonde bombshell taped with another rocker ex, Brett Michaels, of Poison, whom she dated — and documented — pre-Tommy.

Speaking of exes, Entertainment Weekly reports that Tommy and Pammy have indeed split for good. The ex-Mötley Crüe member told VH1 in an April 12 interview that he and Pam were going their separate ways, confirming March reports that his ex-wife had moved out of their house and scrapped plans for a second wedding. A spokeswoman for Anderson Lee did not return calls to Mr. Showbiz.

Meanwhile, there's nothing like an explicit tape to reunite you with your ex. Anderson Lee and Michaels are scheduled to go to court in October to stop the Internet Entertainment Group's distribution of their home sex video, Michaels tells columnists Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith.

The singer, who is now living with his pregnant girlfriend, Kristi Gibson, says he and Pamela "are in this thing together. We're keeping our fingers crossed that we can shut IEG down, so they don't get to put it out in every damn video store — that was not the intent when we made the video for ourselves."

Michaels has enlisted two "celebrity lawyers … Ed Massry, the lawyer in the Erin Brockovich movie, and Ed McPherson, who was just on the cover of L.A. Law and won one of the biggest copyright lawsuits ever," he tells Beck and Smith.

Representing IEG is Alan L. Isaacman, who knows this territory well — his previous client list includes Hustler publisher Larry Flynt. The rock frontman says, "[IEG] beat me up as hard as they could — they're looking for cracks in my character, but there's just nothing to find. They know they're wrong, so they want to be able to say, 'OK, we put out this tape without Brett and Pam's rights, but these are bad people, so why should you feel sorry for them?'"

Michaels says that even though he was able get a federal injunction to stop IEG from posting the video on the Internet, "all they do the minute you shut them down is open another Web site."

Let's hope that the rockers of the world, and their girlfriends, have learned their lessons. Keep those sex videos under lock and key, or better yet: No taping the nookie.
