Nikki Sixx Blasts Bottle Rocket Babe
Nikki Sixx graphically (and hypocritically) bitched out a female fan during a recent concert for doing the exact same thing he did just moments before -- throwing a water bottle.
The Motley Crue bass guitarist went nuclear after a water bottle came flying at him on stage. Only problem: It appears the bottle was the same one he hurled at her 10 seconds earlier.
Don't dish out what you can't take!

Band to Manager: We've Been Motley Scrued
The members of Motley Crue have filed yet another lawsuit against their management, once again claiming they're the victims of a major money and power grab. 
In the lawsuit, filed today in LA County Superior Court, band members say manager Burt Stein and his management companies were supposed to watch their back -- but instead took money and made backroom deals without their permission in order to cash in on the band's popularity.
If this sounds familiar, it is. Last year the band sued another manager, essentially alleging the same thing. That case was settled.
We couldn't reach Stein for comment.

"Motley Crue" Manager in Free Ticket Fiasco
Music mogul Carl Stubner allegedly scalped free tickets that were given to him when he managed rock group "Motley Crue."
According to an amended complaint obtained by TMZ, Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx and Mick Mars accuse Stubner of requesting tickets to the rock shows, and then selling them at scalper prices to line his own pockets. The band claims he used "his position and status of a manager ... and demanded numerous complimentary tickets per show, which he resold."
The only question is: Did he manage Motley Crue in the 90s? These members of the band say yes- and they say they can prove it.
A rep for Sanctuary Group could not immediately be reached.
Update:
Tommy Lee tells TMZ, "I am a founding member of Motley Crue. Based on internal band issues aired publicly, my future with the band is uncertain. I have tried to meet with my band-mates repeatedly without success but have informed them that I'm not walking away from my band of 25 years. It troubles me that the current legal issues which were filed by the corporations against my personal manager are separating us and causing more dysfunction. I hope we can work this out amongst ourselves."

Vince Neil's Tequila Leaves a Poor Taste
Twenty-three years after Vince Neil drove drunk and had an accident that killed his passenger, Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley of Hanoi Rocks, he has launched a new line of tequila called Tres Rios. Motley Crude!
After the 1984 accident, the Motley Crue frontman served just 30 days in jail (and people think Paris got off easy!). Now he wants to serve you Silver, Anejo and Reposado tequilas. Talk about a worm!
Regarding the tragic accident, Neil was recently quoted as saying, "I don't endorse drinking and driving. I endorse driving responsibly. I made a tragic mistake that cost one of my dear friends his life."
When life gives you lemons, make margaritas?!

Motley Crue Sues: Our Managers F'ed Us!
Legendary hard rockers Motley Crue have filed a $20 million lawsuit against one of their managers, claiming "greed," "extortionist tactics" and terrible career advice caused the band to lose millions of dollars in profits and tarnished the band's stellar reputation.
In the lawsuit, filed today in Los Angeles County Superior Court, the four founding members of the band (Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil, Mick Mars and Tommy Lee) through Motley Crue Inc., claim manager Carl Stubner and Sanctuary Management Group gave them bad business advice and attempted to "divert revenue from [the band] and redirect it to themselves.
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."
Because Lee was so busy doing reality TV, the band says he was unavailable to tour with the Crue, thus causing the cancellation of several key concert dates. The band claims that they lost $8 million in ticket and merchandise revenue because of Lee's scheduling conflicts. These conflicts, the band says, were "both real and concocted" by Stubner to "leverage his control over Lee to his financial advantage and to Motley Crue and Lee's detriment."
A call to Sanctuary was not immediately returned.
UPDATE: Tommy Lee's lawyer Barbara Berkowitz tells TMZ that her client isn't involved in the case. In an email, Berkowitz writes, " Mr. Lee was neither consulted regarding this matter nor authorized the lawsuit. Mr. Lee has not made any allegations against his current personal manager. Mr. Lee feels fortunate to have been part of the Motley Reunion tour, as well as other opportunities outside of Motley Crue over the past several years. It is unfortunate that others believe that they all could have made more money had Mr. Lee exclusively participated in the band that he co-founded in 1980. "

All Aboard the USS Big Hair & Spandex!
Where's an iceberg when you need one?
Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil has become the rock 'n' roll version of Captain Steubing, and has launched a four-day Mexican vacation aboard the Carnival Imagination called the "Motley Cruise." Sailing the high seas just took on a whole new meaning!
The ship of fools sails January 24, 2008 from Miami, with stops in Key West and Cozumel, and includes concerts by Neil and "several other recognizable bands," yet to be announced. Sounds to us like an episode of "Bands Reunited!"
While rooms start at $479 (alcohol not included), those who opt for the $1400 - $1700 suites get priority seating for the concerts. Is that a perk?
Whatever you do, don't forget sunblock, Dramamine ... and your ear plugs!

Um...WHO Are You Wearing?
J.Lo has one. So do Gwen Stefani, Justin Timberlake, 50 Cent, Hilary Duff and Eminem. No, we're not talking about Grammys. These days everybody and their mother has a fashion line. That's right we're talking to you Beyonce!
So it should come as no surprise that even marginally famous "stars" are getting in on the couture craze.
Samaire Armstrong briefly starred on "The OC" and "Entourage" as well as in the Lindsay Lohan flop "Just My Luck." Now the aspiring B-lister is branching out to exercise her design chops. Samaire, who started designing by making Halloween costumes and prom dresses, has named her line Naru. Originally only available at exclusive stores in Hawaii, the line will soon expand to stores across the country.
Motley Crüe glam rock relic Nikki Sixx, whose probably more used to taking clothes off women than designing for them, has partnered with Kelly Gray - the former spokesperson for St. Johns Knits who was replaced by Angelina Jolie - to launch a contemporary sportswear line called Royal Underground. Their line will sell in high-end department stores.
With low wattage stars like Samaire and Nikki joining the fashion ranks, it won't be long before we're all wearing Omarosa jeans.
