Too real to be good
The University at Buffalo enjoyed some positive publicity when MTV visited two years ago to follow the experiences of a fraternity and sorority pledge class.

Despite that, UB said "no" to a new reality show, a series in which cameras will follow a well-known Hollywood celebrity as he enrolls in college and takes three or four classes per week.

"He will also do what normal college students do: root for the football team, study in the quad and have some good ol' fashioned college fun," said an e-mail sent by the show's producer to UB and other colleges around the country.

The e-mail didn't name the celebrity student, but UB soon discovered who it was: Tommy Lee, the tattoo-loving, hard-living rock star and ex-husband of Baywatch beauty Pamela Anderson Lee.

Given Lee's previous video appearance, an X-rated romp with Pamela, UB's decision may be a wise one.
