Hammer finally gets a gig

Hammer is finally back in the spotlight -- where he deserves to be. What is MC's new gig, you ask? The good Hammer officiated the 4th marriage of Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil in Las Vegas. Neil and his lady "exchanged vows in front of a "celebrity" crowd that included Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx, Dennis Rodman and Playboy Playmate Brande Roderick." (Story here)

This brings up several questions. First, was this Hammer's first paying gig since the 2-Legit-2-Quit tour? I know in the Catholic Church, you usually kick the priest a "tip" for doing the nuptuals -- is it the same at a coked-up, doomed-to-fail ceremony in Las Vegas. If so, congrats to Hammer, this could help ease his financial woes.

Second, is this an episode of the "Surreal Life" and no one has told us yet? One would have to think that the odds of getting a group of people like this together are about zero, unless there's a last-gasp attempt at fame to be had by being there.

Finally, the article notes that "Motley Crue, the 1980s metal band known for their hard partying and wild sexcapades, recently reunited after a five-year hiatus." Who knew? Make sure to check them out when their tour hits your local Indian Casino.
