Tommy Gets Six Months for Hitting Pam

With a sentencing hearing Wednesday in front of a noted celeb disciplinarian, Malibu Municipal Court Judge Lawrence Mira, volatile rocker Tommy Lee pretty much knew he was going to jail. Now, he knows how long he's going away.

Lee--who pleaded no contest last month to kicking estranged wife Pamela Anderson--was sentenced to six months behind bars. He was immediately handcuffed and taken away to jail.

"He's obviously very sad," Lee attorney Charles English told reporters. "He's going to be away from his kids and that's the biggest thing, what he really cares about."

In addition to the jail term, Lee received three years' probation, was ordered to perform 200 hours of community service, donate $5,000 to a battered women's shelter and must stay at least 100 yards away from Anderson. (The ex-Baywatch starlet was not in court.)

Mira--the judge who put Robert Downey Jr. behind bars--criticized a judicial system that has allowed the 35-year-old Mötley Crüe drummer to remain free through more than a decade of violent transgressions.

"I'm here to send you a different message," said Mira. "What I see here is a very clear [and] disturbing, in my judgment, pattern of conduct in which otherwise resolvable issues are handled with violence...and that's intolerable in any kind of civilized society."

So, it's off to the big house for Lee, where he'll have 180 days to ponder the criminal record that got him there: 1983: Convicted of disturbing the peace. Sentenced to two years' probation. 1994: Arrested for "assaultive conduct with a cohabitant." He wasn't prosecuted because the district attorney couldn't locate the victim. Later that year, he was convicted of illegal possession of a weapon and again sentenced to probation. 1995: Arrested for slugging a man who allegedly made a lewd comment about his soon-to-be-ex-wife, Anderson. 1996: Charged with vandalism for throwing a rock through the window of a paparazzo's car. Later that year, he was arrested for injuring a cameraman outside a Hollywood nightclub. He was sentenced to probation and anger-control counseling last year for that transgression.
