GALERIA 1

Pamela Denise Anderson (born July 1, 1967) is a Canadian American actress, sex symbol, glamour model, producer, author, and former show girl.

Anderson is best known for her roles on the television series Home Improvement, Baywatch, and V.I.P. She was chosen as a Playmate of the Month for Playboy magazine in February 1990. For a time, she was known as Pamela Anderson Lee (or Pamela Lee Anderson) after marrying Mötley Crüe drummer, Tommy Lee. She holds both American and Canadian citizenship.

Early life
Anderson was born in Ladysmith, British Columbia, the daughter of Carol, a waitress, and Barry Anderson, a furnace repairman. Her great-grandfather, Juho Hyytiäinen, was Finnish, a native of Saarijärvi, and left Finland in 1908 changing his name to Anderson when he arrived as an immigrant. Anderson has Russian ancestry on her mother's side.

The newborn Anderson won fame as Canada's "Centennial Baby", because she was thought to have been the first baby born on Canada's Centennial Day (she was born at 4:08 in the morning). However, the Campbell River Upper Islander of July 5, 1967 reported a baby born two hours earlier on the same Canada Day.


Career
After graduating from Highland Secondary School in 1985, Anderson moved to Vancouver and worked as a fitness instructor. During the summer of 1989, Anderson went with her friends to a BC Lions game at BC Place; at some point during the game she was shown on the stadium screen wearing a Labatt's t-shirt, causing the crowd to cheer for the 21-year-old Anderson. She was taken down to the field to get an ovation from the crowd. Labatt's immediately offered Anderson a modeling contract and she accepted. In late 1989, Anderson decided to model for Playboy magazine. She first appeared as their October 1989 cover girl. At this stage in her modeling career, she had decided to live in Los Angeles to further pursue her career ambitions. She became a centerfold for Playboy when the magazine chose her to be their Playmate of the Month for their February 1990 issue. Anderson has since appeared in Playboy several times in the 1990s and the following decade.


Acting and modeling

Anderson aboard USS Ronald Reagan, (2004)After her move to Los Angeles, Anderson bleached her brunette hair blonde and underwent breast augmentation and returned with diameters of 32.5 centimetres. In 1991, she landed a minor role as the original "Tool Time girl" on the hit television sitcom, Home Improvement. She left the show after two seasons and landed the role of C. J. Parker on Baywatch. Anderson was still modeling for Outdoor Life and appearing on the cover of the magazine each year. Her role as C.J. Parker gave her more popularity and gained her attention from international viewers. She returned to Baywatch for the 2003 reunion movie, Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding. She also made appearances on The Nanny as Fran's rival, Heather Biblow.

In 1996, she appeared in a feature film, Barb Wire, as a character known as Barbara Rose Kopetski, which was mistakenly thought by some to have been her real name. The movie, a thinly-veiled futuristic remake of Casablanca, failed to achieve commercial success. During the filming of Barb Wire, Anderson suffered a miscarriage. In April 1997, she guest-hosted Saturday Night Live. During the beginning of the show, Anderson said, "You know, if you're nervous on stage, you actually should be naked!" She then began a striptease. Her breasts, however, were covered by a small flesh-colored bra and she also wore a crotch patch that was also flesh colored (though they were still blurred out for the sake of the joke). The segment became fodder for late-night comedians for the following weeks. She also appeared on one of two covers for the September issue of Playboy; the other cover pictured Jenny McCarthy.

In September 1998, Anderson starred in her produced series V.I.P. It was very poorly received and a critical bomb. However, with many people tuning in just to see her, the show lasted four seasons before being canceled in 2002. Anderson stated that she needed to dedicate her time to raising her children, but many believed that she was retiring.

On April 15, 1999, Anderson decided to remove her breast implants. The main reason was that Anderson's modeling career was on the downfall. She needed to raise her children and possibly retire, but about a year later, Anderson decided to get breast implants back. The new implants were bigger than the first ones she claimed. The following year she appeared as giantess in the music video for "Miserable" by California alternative rock band Lit.

In March 2001, Christine Evelyn Roth was arrested while sleeping in a guest room of Anderson's home. She was only charged with the misdemeanor of trespassing and not the more serious crime of stalking. Roth pleaded guilty to the charge of trespassing and was deported home to France. In 2004, Anderson returned to the spotlight. In May, she appeared naked on the cover of Playboy magazine. It was the first time she had appeared naked on any magazine cover. Later, she posed naked for Stuff and GQ magazines. Many noticed that her breast size was larger than her pictorials from 2003.

Anderson became a naturalized citizen of the United States on May 12, 2004, while retaining her Canadian citizenship. She has lived in Southern California since 1989. Anderson has often spoken revealingly about her private life. On a visit to the David Letterman show in 2004, she said she had not been dating for some time, and when Letterman asked her how she was coping, she responded, "There's not a square corner left anywhere in my house!" Letterman left that comment unanswered while the audience hooted.

In 2004, Pamela Anderson released the book Star, co-written by Eric Shaw Quinn, in which she describes a young teenager doing different things in order to reach fame. After this, she began touring the United States, signing autographs for fans at Wal-Mart stores nationwide. Her second book, the sequel Star Struck, released in 2005, is a thinly veiled look at her life with Tommy Lee and the travails of celebrity life.

In January 2005, Anderson confessed that she had new bigger breast implants, claiming not to feel like herself without them.

In April 2005, Anderson starred in a new FOX sitcom Stacked as Skyler Dayton, a party girl (with implants), who goes to work at a bookstore. It was canceled on May 18, 2006, after two seasons, although some episodes had not been aired on the network. On August 14, 2005, Comedy Central created the Roast of Pamela Anderson to honor the sex symbol for the past decade. During her final speech at the Roast, Anderson referred to her breasts as "Pancho and Lefty".

In December 2005, NBC cut off a video of Anderson pole dancing topless on Elton John's "The Red Piano." NBC said that the footage was inappropriate for primetime. The video was shown on huge screens during the event, while John was playing a song.

In March 2006, it was announced that Anderson would receive a star on Canada's Walk of Fame thanks to her many years as a model and actress. She is only the second model to receive a star. In April 2006, Anderson hosted Canada's Juno Awards, becoming the first non-singer and model to do so. In May 2006 Anderson and swedish model Sigrid Åhs met during a television show, Åhs is notable as one of the worlds most famous Pamela Anderson look-a-likes.

Anderson was repeatedly referenced in the 2006 comedy film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan as the title character seeks to kidnap and marry her. Anderson appears in person at the end of the film confronted by Borat in a staged botched abduction.

She performed on February 13-14 2008 in a Valentine's Day striptease act at the Crazy Horse cabaret in Paris.

On July 9, 2008, Anderson entered the Australian Big Brother house for a three day visit. Her appearance on this show also marked Anderson's foray into reality television with a series of her own, Pam: Girl on the Loose, which debuted on August 3, 2008 on E! in the United States. Pam also was featured in a film about ants and aligators.

She is considered to be the Sexiest Woman Alive, as reported by model critic Daniel Connell. He commented, "She has the perfect body, mindset, and flow. That is a model you want with her clothes off and on the magazine covers."


Personal life
In addition to her fame from modeling and acting, Anderson has received a great deal of press attention for her well-publicized personal life. Her relationships have made headlines in gossip magazines for years. Anderson married Tommy Lee, drummer of Mötley Crüe, on February 19, 1995 after knowing him for only 96 hours and the couple eventually had two sons, Brandon Thomas Lee (b. June 6, 1996) and Dylan Jagger Lee (b. December 29, 1997). During this time, she was known professionally as Pamela Anderson Lee. Anderson filed for divorce from Lee twice and reconciled with him twice, before the couple finally broke up for good. In March 2002, Anderson publicly stated that she had contracted the Hepatitis C virus from Lee (supposedly from sharing tattoo needles), and began writing a regular column for Jane magazine. In October 2003, Anderson jokingly said on Howard Stern's radio show that she does not expect to live more than ten or fifteen years, but this was misconstrued and taken seriously by many websites and tabloids. She however admitted to newspapers that she still often had sex with him since their divorce.

A pornographic home video of Anderson and Tommy Lee on their honeymoon was stolen from their home, and made a huge stir on the Internet. Anderson sued the Internet Entertainment Group, the company that was distributing the video. Ultimately, the courts awarded Anderson and Lee $1.5 million plus attorney fees for their share of the profits. After this, the company sold copies of the stolen honeymoon tape across the country. It was very popular.

A second tape, which was made before the Tommy Lee tape, involving Anderson and musician Bret Michaels from Poison was later announced, and an abridged version of less than 60 seconds appeared on the internet. Frames of the video first appeared in Penthouse magazine in March 1998. However, the tape was successfully blocked by Michaels, however, a 4-minute sex tape is still available on the internet.


Anderson and Kid Rock in 2003Since her divorce, she has become engaged to both the model Marcus Schenkenberg and the singer Kid Rock (Robert J. Ritchie). She broke up with Schenkenberg in 2001, and broke up with Kid Rock in 2003. It was announced on July 18, 2006 that she would marry Kid Rock on July 29, 2006 on a yacht near St Tropez, France. "Feels like I've been stuck in a time warp," said Anderson in her blog entry. "Not able to let go of MY family picture ... it's been sad and lonely and frustrating ... I've raised my kids alone in hope of a miracle. Well my miracle came and went. And came back and back because he knew that I'd wake up one day and realize that I was waiting for nothing." "I'm moving on," she declared. "I feel like I'm finally free ... I'm in love." There was extensive unconfirmed media speculation that the marriage was pregnancy-related, but the theory was based only on Anderson's representative's refusal to comment on the question.

She put her Malibu, California, home up for sale in order to move to a more private location. In an interview with Gavriel Maynard, Anderson stated "I don't know why people consider me stupid, I'm actually really smart."

On November 10, 2006, it was announced that Anderson miscarried while in Vancouver shooting a new film, Blonde and Blonder. Seventeen days later, on November 27, 2006, Anderson filed for divorce in Los Angeles County Superior Court from Kid Rock, citing irreconcilable differences. Some news reports have suggested that Kid Rock's outrage during a screening of Borat, in which she plays a cameo role, led to the filing for divorce two weeks later.

Anderson told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres in September 2007 that she was engaged. On September 29, Anderson and Paris Hilton's ex Rick Salomon applied for a marriage license in Las Vegas. Anderson married Salomon between her two nightly appearances at the Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino in Hans Klok's magic show in a small wedding ceremony at The Mirage on October 6, 2007. However, on February 22, 2008, Anderson has requested through the courts that the marriage be annulled citing reasons of fraud.


Charitable work and activism

Anderson during a PETA photoshootAnderson is a vegetarian, an advocate for animal rights, and an active member of the animal protection organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), taking part in several campaigns for animal rights. She became a vegetarian in her early teens when she saw her father cleaning an animal he had hunted.

One of Anderson's campaigns as a member of PETA has been against the use of fur. In 1999, Anderson received the first Linda McCartney Memorial Award for animal rights protectors, in recognition of her campaign against fur. In 2003, Anderson stripped down for PETA's "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" advertising campaign. On June 28, 2006, Anderson posed naked with other protesters on a window display of the Stella McCartney boutique in London, England. It was a PETA gala event before the PETA Humanitarian Awards. Anderson went inside the boutique and said she would take her clothes off if the event raised enough money for PETA, which it did.

She has also actively campaigned against Kentucky Fried Chicken. In 2001, Anderson released a letter in support of PETA's campaign against Kentucky Fried Chicken, stating "What KFC does to 750 million chickens each year is not civilized or acceptable." She later made a video about KFC's treatment of chickens. In January 2006, Anderson requested that the Governor of Kentucky remove a bust of Colonel Sanders, the founder of KFC, from display but her request was refused even when she offered her own bust in exchange. In February 2006, Anderson decided to boycott the Kentucky Derby because of its support for Kentucky Fried Chicken.

She has also campaigned against seal hunting in her native Canada. In March 2006, Anderson asked to speak to Prime Minister Stephen Harper about the annual seal hunt. Her request was refused. In May 2006, she petitioned random individuals on the street for their opinion on the Canadian Seal Hunt.

More recently she joined forces with PETA in a campaign for the boycott of fruit-juice maker POM. The "Pom Horrible Campaign" has resulted in response to the company's refusal to halt animal tests.

In March 2005, Anderson became a spokesmodel for MAC Cosmetics's MAC AIDS Fund, which helped people affected by AIDS and HIV. After becoming the official spokesmodel, Anderson raised money during events in Toronto, Tokyo, Dublin, and Athens.

Anderson became the celebrity spokesperson for the American Liver Foundation, and served as the Grand Marshal of the SOS motorcycle ride fundraiser.

Pro wrestling
During an appearance at the World Wrestling Federation's Royal Rumble in 1995, Anderson promised that she would accompany the winner of the Royal Rumble to WrestleMania. Anderson returned for her appearance at the World Wrestling Federation's WrestleMania XI on April 2, but as the guest valet for WWF World Heavyweight Champion Diesel and not the Royal Rumble winner, his opponent Shawn Michaels; Michaels ended up being accompanied to the ring by Jenny McCarthy. After pinning Michaels, Diesel left with both Anderson and McCarthy.
In anticipation of her appearance at the Royal Rumble, several skits were produced featuring wrestlers fawning over Anderson. One commercial featured Anderson coming home and checking her answering machine. As Anderson strips down behind a curtain, messages from wrestlers such as Shawn Michaels, Diesel, and Doink the Clown can be heard.
At the 2006 Canada's Walk of Fame induction ceremony, Anderson shared a kiss with WWE diva Trish Stratus.
She appeared on former Pro Wrestling commentator Mark Madden's Pittsburgh-based sports talk radio show in October, 2006.

Infancia
Anderson nació en Ladysmith (Columbia Británica), una población a 90 km al noroeste de Victoria, Columbia Británica, hija de Carol, una camarera, y Barry Anderson, reparador de hornos. Su bisabuelo, Juho Hyytiäinen, era finlandés, nativo de Saarijärvi, y salió de Finlandia en 1908, cambiando su nombre a Anderson cuando llegó como inmigrante. Anderson tiene ancestros holandeses por parte de su madre.

La recién nacida Anderson ganó fama como la "Bebé del Centenario" de Canadá, porque se pensaba que ella había sido la primera bebé nacida en Día del Centenario de Canadá (nació a las 4:08 de la mañana). Sin embargo, el Campbell River Upper Islander del 5 de julio de 1967 informó de un bebé nacido dos horas antes el mismo Día de Canadá. Después de su nacimiento, sus padres y su hermano, Gerry Anderson, se mudaron al pueblo de Comox con Pamela.


Carrera

Comienzos
Después de su graduación en la École Highland Secondary School en 1985, Anderson se mudó a Vancouver y trabajó como instructora de gimnasia. Durante el verano de 1989, Pamela fue con sus amigos a un partido de los Leones de Columbia Británica en el BC Place Stadium; en alguno momento durante el partido de fútbol se le mostró en la pantalla del estadio con una camiseta de Labatt, una marca de cerveza canadiense, causando que la multitud gritase. Le hicieron bajar al campo para recibir una ovación de la multitud. Labatt le ofreció un contrato de modelo y ella aceptó. A finales de 1989, Pamela decidió posar para la revista erótica Playboy: ella apareció en la portada en octubre de 1989 (acreditada como Pamela Anderson Ilicic) y decidió mudarse a Los Ángeles para continuar su carrera de modelo. Fue playmate en febrero de 1990 y ha aparecido en Playboy muchas veces (12) en la década de 1990 y en la siguiente.


Éxito como actriz y modelo
Después de mudarse a Los Ángeles, Anderson se tiñó el cabello castaño a un tono rubio, se hizo una operación de aumento de pechos y se inyectó colágeno para realzar sus labios. En 1991, consiguió un papel menor en la popular comedia estadounidense Mejorando la Casa/Un chapuzas en casa (1991-1997). Habiendo ganado la atención de los televidentes, consiguió el papel de C. J. Parker (1992-1997) en Los vigilantes de la playa y dejó Mejorando la Casa/Un chapuzas en casa después de la segunda temporada. Anderson siguió posando para Outdoor Life y apareciendo en la portada de la revista cada año. Su papel como C. J. Parker le dio más popularidad y redobló la atención a los televidentes. Regresó a Baywatch (Los vigilantes de la playa) para la película de reunión de 2003, Baywatch: Boda Hawaii. También hizo apariciones en The Nanny como la rival de Fran, Heather Biblow.

En 1996, apareció en la película principal Barb Wire como Barbara Rose Kopetski, que algunos creyeron erróneamente que había sido su verdadero nombre. La película, una versión nueva futurista apenas disfrazada de Casablanca, no logró éxito comercial. Durante la grabación de Barb Wire, Anderson sufrió un aborto espontáneo.

En abril de 1997, fue la anfitriona de Saturday Night Live. Al comienzo del programa, Anderson dijo: «You know, if you're nervous on stage, you actually should be naked!» («Tú sabes, si estás nerviosa en el escenario, ¡realmente deberías estar desnuda!»). Entonces comenzó a desnudarse. Sus pechos, sin embargo, estaban cubiertos por un pequeño sostén color carne y también llevaba un parche entre las piernas color carne (aunque fueron borrados para el chiste). El segmento se hizo atractivo para comediantes muy tarde a la noche por las siguientes semanas. Ella también apareció en una de las dos portadas de la publicación en septiembre de Playboy la otra portada tenía la foto de Jenny McCarthy.

En septiembre de 1998, fue la estrella de su propia serie de televisión V.I.P. Fue mal recibida, pero como muchas personas sintonizaban sólo para ver a Pamela Anderson, el programa duró cuatro temporadas antes de que se cancelara en 2002. Anderson dijo que necesitaba dedicar el tiempo para criar a sus hijos, pero muchos creyeron que quería retirarse.

En marzo de 2001, una intrusa, Christine Evelyn Roth, fue arrestada mientras dormía en un dormitorio de invitados de la casa de Pamela. Sólo se le acusó de mala conducta por invadir propiedad ajena y no del crimen más grave de acoso. Roth se declaró culpable del cargo de haber entrado sin permiso en la propiedad y fue deportada a su país de origen, Francia.


Anderson y Kid Rock en 2003En 2004, Pamela regresó al mundo del espectáculo. En mayo de ese año, apareció desnuda en la portada de la revista Playboy. Fue la primera vez que había aparecido desnuda en la portada de alguna revista. Más tarde, posó desnuda para las revistas Stuff y GQ. Muchos notaron que el tamaño de sus senos era más grandes que en las fotografías de 2003.

Anderson se convirtió en una ciudadana naturalizada de Estados Unidos el 12 de mayo de 2004, mientras mantenía su ciudadanía canadiense para apoyar a sus padres (o al menos a su madre) con una tarjeta verde. Ha vivido en California Meridional desde 1989. La actriz ha hablado con frecuencia sobre su vida privada. En una visita al programa de David Letterman, en 2004, dijo que no había tenido novio por un tiempo; y cuando Letterman le preguntó cómo estaba sobrellevándolo, respondió: «There's not a square corner left anywhere in my house!» («¡No queda ninguna esquina en toda mi casa!»). Esta frase, que alude a una técnica de masturbación, dejó a Letterman sonrojado y sin palabras, mientras el público gritaba.

En 2004, Pamela Anderson publicó el libro Star, coescrito junto con el autor Eric Shaw Quinn, en el que ella describe a una adolescente que hace diferentes cosas para alcanzar la fama. Después, comenzó a recorrer Estados Unidos, firmando autógrafos para los admiradores en las tiendas Wal-Mart en todo el país. Su segundo libro, la secuela Star Struck, publicado en 2005, es un vistazo apenas encubierto de su vida con Tommy Lee y sobre el duro trabajo en la vida de las celebridades.

En enero de 2005, Anderson confesó que tenía nuevos implantes de seno, asegurando que no se sentía igual sin ellos. Anderson también aseguró que los nuevos implantes eran más grandes que los anteriores.

El 13 de abril de 2005, Anderson protagonizó una comedia del canal FX, llamado Stacked, donde encarnaba a Skylar Dayton, una animadora de fiestas que va a trabajar en una librería. Stacked fue cancelado el 18 de mayo de 2006, después de dos temporadas, aunque algunos episodios no habían salido al aire. El 14 de agosto, Comedy Central creó el Roast of Pamela Anderson para honrar al símbolo sexual de la década anterior. Durante su discurso final en el Roast, Pamela se refirió a sus pechos como «Pancho and Lefty».

En diciembre de 2005, NBC censuró un reportaje de Anderson bailando sin sujetador la canción The Red Piano de Elton John. NBC dijo que la cinta era inapropriada para el horario estelar. El video con Pamela se mostró en enormes pantallas mientras Elton John estaba tocando una canción. Anderson estaba sin sostén, pero con unas estrellas pintadas en sus senos. En marzo de 2006, se anunció que Anderson recibiría una estrella en el Paseo de la Fama de Canadá gracias a sus años como modelo y actriz. Es la segunda modelo que recibe una estrella. En abril de 2006, Anderson fue anfitriona de los Juno Awards de Canadá, siendo la primera estrella no cantante y modelo en hacerlo.

En 2006, en la película Borat!, del director Larry Charles, mencionaban mucho a Pamela Anderson porque el pequeño personaje busca raptarla y casarse con ella. Anderson aparece en persona al final de la película confrontada por Borat en una escena de secuestro.[6] Ella ha comenzado consecutivamente a grabar una comedia, Blonde and Blonder.

Actualmente, es una columnista de la revista canadiense Elle, protagoniza la comedia Stacked, prestado la voz para el personaje Vixen, Agente 69, Stripperella en la serie del mismo nombre (también ha dado voz de su propia caricatura en la serie) y desde el 1 de junio de 2007 aparece como ayudante en La belleza de la magia, el espectáculo del ilusionista holandés Hans Klok en Las Vegas.[7]


Activismo en defensa de los animales

Anderson durante una sesión fotográfica de PETAAnderson es vegetariana, defensora de los derechos animales y miembro activo de la organización People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), con quienes ha participado en diversas campañas. Se volvió vegetariana en el comienzo de su adolescencia cuando vio a su padre matar un animal que había cazado.

En 1999, Anderson recibió el premio Linda McCartney por su desempeño en la campaña contra el uso de la piel. En 2003, Pamela se desnudó para la campaña publicitaria "Prefiero estar desnuda que usar pieles" ("I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur") de PETA.

Su labor activista mundialmente conocida es la emprendida en contra de Kentucky Fried Chicken, argumentando que: "Lo que KFC hace con 750 millones de pollos cada año no es civilizado ni aceptable" ("What KFC does to 750 million chickens each year is not civilized or acceptable"). Realizó un vídeo denunciando a KFC por el hacinamiento y maltrato de los pollos para KFC.

En enero de 2006, Pamela solicitó al gobernador de Kentucky, retirar el busto del Coronel Sanders, fundador de KFC, pero su petición fue rechazada. En abril de 2007, Pamela envió un video al presidente de KFC en Egipto, pidiéndole mejorar la forma en que los pollos para sus restaurantes, son criados y sacrificados.

También ha hecho campaña contra la caza de focas en su Canadá natal. En marzo de 2006, Pamela solicitó hablar con el Primer Ministro de Canadá Stephen Harper sobre la caza anual de focas en ese país. Su petición fue denegada. En mayo de 2006 entrevistó a individuos aleatorios en la calle sobre su opinión sobre la caza de focas canadiense.


Vida personal

Anderson en 2004Además de su fama como actriz y modelo, Pamela ha recibido mucha atención de la prensa por su bien conocida vida personal. Sus relaciones han sido titulares en revistas del mundo del espectáculo por años. Se casó con el famoso rockero Tommy Lee, de Mötley Crüe, el 19 de febrero de 1995, después de conocerlo por sólo 96 horas, y tuvieron dos hijos, Brandon Thomas Lee (6 de junio de 1996) y Dylan Jagger Lee (29 de diciembre de 1997). Durante este matrimonio, se le conocía profesionalmente como Pamela Anderson Lee.

Pamela antes de separarse definitivamente, había pedido el divorcio en dos ocasiones, pero volvía a reconciliarse. El 25 de febrero de 1998, Tommy abusó de Pamela y fue arrestado. Al día siguiente, Anderson pidió el divorcio. El 28 de febrero de 1998 el divorcio fue oficial. Tommy fue sentenciado a seis meses de prisión. En mayo, él tuvo que ir a terapia de control de ira y pagar los honorarios de los abogados de Pamela.

En marzo de 2002, Anderson aseguró públicamente que había contraído el virus hepatitis C de Lee (supuestamente por compartir agujas de tatuar) y empezó a escribir una columna periódica para la revista estadounidense Jane para muchachas jóvenes. Lee niega tener la enfermedad. En octubre de 2003, Anderson dijo sarcásticamente en el programa de radio de Howard Stern que no esperaba vivir más de diez o quince años, pero esto se malentendió y varios tabloides y sitios de Internet lo tomaron en serio. Ella, sin embargo, admitió ante los periódicos que aún tenía sexo a menudo con él desde el divorcio.

Un vídeo casero pornográfico de la luna de miel de Pamela Anderson y Tommy Lee fue robado de su hogar e hizo mucho revuelo en Internet. Anderson demandó a Internet Entertainment Group, la compañía de Internet que distribuía el video. En última instancia, las cortes les concedieron 1.5 millones de dólares a Anderson y Lee, más los honorarios de los abogados. Después de esto, la compañía vendió copias de la cinta en todo el país.


Pamela Anderson firmando autógrafos en la marina de San Diego.La popularidad y la aprovechabilidad del vídeo provocaron un minigénero dentro de la industria del cine pornográfico y desde entonces muchos videos caseros pornográficos se han publicado en Internet y en DVDs o VHSes (a veces con la cooperación del participante). Una segunda cinta, hecha antes que la de Lee, que involucra a Anderson y al músico Bret Michaels de Poison, se distribuyó más tarde por Internet. Fotogramas del video aparecieron por primera vez en la revista Penthouse.

Desde el divorcio, fue prometida del modelo Marcus Schenkenberg y del rockero Kid Rock (Robert J. Ritchie). Se separó de Schenkenberg en 2001 y de Rock en 2003. Se anunció el 18 de julio de 2006 que ella se casaría con Kid Rock el 29 de julio en un yate cerca de St. Tropez, Francia. Feels like I've been stuck in a time warp, dijo Anderson en su blog. Not able to let go of MY family picture… it's been sad and lonely and frustrating… I've raised my kids alone in hope of a miracle. Well my miracle came and went. And came back and back because he knew that I'd wake up one day and realize that I was waiting for nothing; I'm moving on, ella declaró. I feel like I'm finally free… I'm in love.

Ella puso su casa de Malibu, California, en venta para mudarse a un lugar privado. En una entrevista con Gabriel Maynard, Anderson aseguró: I don't know why people consider me stupid, I'm actually really smart ("No sé por qué la gente me considera estúpida. Realmente soy muy lista.")

Pamela tuvo un romance con el actor Stephen Dorff, pero ahora son sólo amigos. Anderson también ha tenido relaciones con Scott Baio, coprotagonista de "Baywatch", con David Charvet y con el músico Bret Michaels de la banda Poison. También ha tenido presuntas aventuras amorosas con varios hombres famosos incluyendo a Dean Cain, Sylvester Stallone, el surfista Kelly Slater, Ben Affleck, Fred Durst y el famoso Eric Nies de la telerrealidad.

En 2003, Anderson se hizo la portavoz célebre de la American Liver Foundation ("Fundación Hepática Estadounidense") y promocionó el recaudador de fondos de la gira de motocicletas SOS en octubre. También, reveló que fue la más promiscua de sus amigas y que, mientras todas soñaban con tener novio, ella realizaba felaciones a chicos que casi le doblaban la edad.
