Tommy Lee is buying a luxury Dubai island for ex-wife Pamela Anderson.

The Mötley Crüe drummer has decided to buy 'Greece' in The World project - a manmade archipelago of 300 islands in the shape of the world currently being built off the Dubai coast.

Tommy is hoping he and Pammie - who have been divorced for nine years - can spend time there with their two sons.

The 44-year-old rocker told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "I've been doing a lot of research on Dubai property and The World project.

"We're going to buy Greece because I'm Greek originally. Pammie actually turned me on to the whole thing.

"Life is good now because I'm seeing my boys again."

Pammie married Tommy in 1995. The couple divorced in February 1998, after Tommy was convicted of domestic abuse charges.

The former 'Baywatch' star later claimed she had contracted hepatitis C from a needle she had shared with Tommy.

The pair have recently healed their long-term rift for the sake of their sons, Brandon, 10, and Dylan, nine.

Pammie, 39, married US musician Kid Rock last summer but they split four months later.

Dubai has become a hotspot for the rich and famous - with the likes of David and Victoria Beckham already owning holiday homes there.
