Hmm, who has a VERY high opinion of themselves?

Have you ever played that game with your friends where you each say which famous celeb would play you in a movie about your life? Yes? We have, and our celeb of choice is Fiona Shaw or Old Steptoe – seriously, the resemblance is uncanny – so we were a little bit bemused when we found out who Tommy Lee thinks should play him. The on/off/on/off/on/off/strobe light lover of Pamela Anderson has said he'd like Johnny Depp(!) to play him in a new movie based on Motley Crue's memoir The Dirt. Tommy Lee said, "Johnny Depp would be my choice to play me. He's the best (actor) ever." We don't disagree with that, but we think you might be batting just slightly above your weight with that choice, Tommy. Johnny Depp is unarguably one of the hottest and most talented men on planet earth, while Tommy Lee is, erm, slightly less so. The planned biopic will cover all aspects of the rocker's life, including of course his fiery relationship with Pamela Anderson as well as his time in prison. There's no word yet as to whether Johnny is considering taking on the role, but it has just been confirmed that he will star as the Mad Hatter in a new Tim Burton adaptation of Alice In Wonderland. Now that does sound amazing.
