Before you answer no to the question, hip hop superstar Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and rock god Tommy Lee is about to prove you wrong. Planet Green announced that BATTLEGROUND EARTH: LUDACRIS VS. TOMMY LEE will premiere on Sundays at 10PM/ET beginning August 3rd on Planet Green with an encore airing on TLC every Thursday beginning August 7 at 8PM/ET.

In the docu-series-reality-based show, these two icons are challenged to battle against the toxic forces destroying Mother Earth as they travel across the country on a 10-episode tour. Viewers witness the two stars pushed to the limit as they try to keep their high-wattage acts on an eco-friendly path. Enlisting the help of their posses, also known as “ecorages,” Ludacris taps Willie Box, Sesean Bridges, and Tony “4 Ize” Hayes III while Tommy Lee relies on Diggity Dave, Johnny Colt, and Nina Bergman to help him reach the finish line.

In case the ecorages don’t add enough to the competition, Ludacris and Tommy have plenty of celebrity guests to turn to including Jane Fonda, Sean Combs, Pamela Anderson, Gene Simmons, and anyone else willing to lend a hand. Ludacris and Tommy Lee dive right into the BATTLEGROUND EARTH competition with unexpected and sometimes hilarious results. Ultimately, it’s not about winning but bringing up awareness about the state of our environment. We the viewers enjoy the poitive entertainment and learn some eco tips along the way.
