Rapper/actor Ludacris has signed on to face off against rocker Tommy Lee in a new eco-centric reality show called "Battleground Earth," slated to air on the Discovery Networks' Planet Green channel this summer.
According to Daily Variety, ten episodes of "Battleground Earth" are expected to be shot within the next few weeks in preparation for a late July or early August premiere of the new show. Planet Green is expected to begin airing in 50 million homes by June 4th.
For the show, Luda and Tommy Lee will travel the country and compete in challenges that highlight "green" issues. For the series finale, the pair will join forces by co-headlining a concert at Los Angeles' Greek Theater, with the proceeds benefiting Griffith Park.
For Ludacris, "Battleground Earth" continues his dedication to the green cause - as SOHH previously reported, the Atlanta rapper and actor participated in last summer's Live Earth concert.
In addition to the upcoming reality series, Luda has recently been cast in Fox's Max Payne film alongside Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis and Beau Bridges. He will also hold a role in the Guy Ritchie picture RocknRolla, due out in October and the forthcoming film Ball Don't Lie which will debut at the Tribeca Film Festival.
