Just a small tip: If you’re shooting a reality TV show based around convincing people to go green that also happens to be on a network dedicated to green themes, you probably don’t want to grab a private jet during taping to get to your next location.

Alas, such is the case of what went down during a recent episode of Battleground Earth starring Tommy Lee and Ludacris. I haven’t actually seen the clip in question, but based on what I’ve read online, apparently Ludacris orders up a private jet to catch up to Tommy Lee (who left early from a previous contest in New Orleans.) The two then arrive at the same time to greet Gene Simmons in a cemetery for a little lesson on green burial.
