I could make some off-color jokes about this one, but shall refrain. Inall seriousness, though, they're gonna have to be very selective indeedabout which stories would be appropriate for a younger audience, unlessthe producers are going for an Adult Swim sort of vibe, which, now thatI think about it, sounds kind of cool.

Rocker Tommy Lee is about to get even more animated.
The wild Motley Crue drummer is set to lend his voice to "The Life and Times of Jimmy Jaxx," an animated half-hour loosely based on his own life. Smart Entertainment ("Blades of Glory") is behind the project, currently in the early stages of development at Fox.

"I've always loved the animated world," Lee said. "How fun and kooky is this gonna be, to combine some real-life experiences with some seriously over-the-top humor."

Project revolves around a rocker who attempts to balance his crazy lifestyle on the road with a calmer existence at home. The character is distracted, however, by his tattoos -- which come to life and are constantly trying to lead him down the wrong path.
