VH1's "Behind the Music" to return


Weiland_hal Dust off those 'STP' bumper stickers and light up a cigarette, folks.

VH1 is reviving its popular "Behind the Music" series next year, beginning with an episode dedicated to Scott Weiland, the embattled lead-singer of 90's grunge act Stone Temple Pilots and most recently, Velvet Revolver.

Perfect for the show's pitfalls-of-rock-star metier, Weiland has long battled drugs and alcohol, including many public run ins with the law.

While we can't promise an insightful cameo from Slash, expect some blurry point-of-view re-enactments of Weiland stumbling out of the Roxy onto Sunset Blvd. (with 'Lethal Weapon' guitar solos in tow)

Wayne_final Also on tap is rap superstar Lil Wayne. Wayne, who should have an entire "Behind the Music" season dedicated to him, is a little premature for the show's 'where are they now?' hook. Still, 'Tha Carter' should make for great television. After all, it's not everyday that the cops pull you over to find 105 grams (3.7 ounces) of marijuana, 29 grams (1 ounce) of cocaine, and 41 grams (1.45 ounces) of ecstasy in your tour bus.
