Pamela Anderson takes off her clothes for Ellen - VIDEO
In a move that should come as no surprise to anybody, Pamela Anderson has stripped off her clothes yet again. This time on The Ellen Degeneres Show. No, she didn't get completely nude (or even wear a flesh-toned swimsuit as she did on Saturday Night Live). She remained in a somewhat television-safe bikini to show off her rockin' 41-year-old body.Um, how do I react to this? She's still got the curves, but the move smacks of desperation. She's trying to generate publicity for herself and whatever current project she's working on. Or maybe she's trying to get more work. She is getting up there in age. In Hollywood years, she's ancient. The whole "Hollywood beach bunny blonde" image doesn't work so well when you're in your 60's. At that point, she may have to rely on her talent.
The video is after the jump. I leave it to your discretion as to whether or not it's safe for work.

Buy Pamela Anderson's stuff
The looks like the United States recession (I assure you we're in one) has even hit Pamela Anderson. The former Baywatch star is having a garage sale at her Malibu home.With the assistance of Helping Hand Estate Sale Service, Anderson will be selling "5,000 square feet of beautiful vintage country French furniture" as well as other items she's accumulated over the years.
I would be curious about what else the Anderson estate would put up for grabs. It's a good thing the garage sale is in Malibu, as I don't think other neighborhoods could afford Pamela Anderson's stuff.
I'm not sure what the other items are, but I'm wondering if they include an extraordinary amount of vintage silicon. Maybe she's going to auction off some vintage rock stars as well. Pamela Anderson herself is starting to be considered vintage.
The big question is: if you could own a piece of Pamela Anderson, what piece would it be?
Pam Anderson does nude show in Paris
Pamela Anderson is taking it off. Okay, so that's not anything new. Basically, the whole world has seen this Baywatch babe's goodies. However, if you wanted to see her goodies LIVE you could go to Paris next week. Reuters is reporting that Anderson will do a nude revue in France at the famous Crazy Horse cabaret. The actress will do a striptease on a Harley Davidson, a piece choreographed especially for her by the Crazy Horse. However, according to FoxNews.com, Anderson will be dancing to a song called "Harley Davidson" by Serge Gainsbourg. Maybe it's just both. The song. The Harley. The Pamela.
Fox also reports that it is not settled yet as to whether Anderson will be nude on stage. But, it's not like she's a bashful girl.
While Pamela Anderson has been performing in magic show stateside, this will be her first European stage performance. She is doing four shows on February 13th and 14th.

Baywatch DVD sets will have different music, missing episodes
I wouldn't buy these DVDs, but if I was Baywatch fan, I'd be kinda ticked.
There are two different Baywatch sets coming out in the next few weeks, but according to TVShowsonDVD, the sets will not only be missing a couple of episodes (including "Nightmare Bay" and another ep that marked Pamela Anderson's first appearance), but the theme song will be different! Other music might be replaced too, but no official word on that yet.
The reason why those two episodes won't be seen is because another company owns the rights to them. I have no idea how one company owns the rights to two episodes of Baywatch and another company owns the rights to the gazillion others, but there you go.
Pamela and Kid Rock will marry at least four times
Last week, Adam told you about the engagement of Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock. As she was pimping her new website, PamelaPoker.com, she told reporters that they will marry a few times over the next month. The first, official wedding will reportedly take place this weekend in St. Tropez, France. Subsequent wedding ceremonies will follow in California, Michigan, and Tennessee. If this one doesn't work out, how many divorces is that?By the way, Kid Rock's real name is Bob Ritchie and Pam calls him 'Bob'. How normal.
Pam Anderson's nude store window pose - UPDATE
Last week, I mentioned that Pamela Anderson was set to pose nude in the window of Stella McCartney's London store to publicize her involvement in PETA, the animal rights group. Well, that little event happened Wednesday night. What, you didn't think she was going to go through with it? Phsaw, I say. You don't know our little Pammie very well, do you?Anyway, the story goes like this: Pam was hosting the PETA Awards, which were being held at McCartney's store. After giving the last award, she ripped off her dress and posed nude -- except for a flesh-colored G-string, according to this story -- with two other models (who had bikinis on) behind a banner saying "I'd rather have bare skin than wear skin," or something like that. (Really, the slogan could have said "Tony Blair is a git" and no one would have noticed) More pictures of this party can be found here. Another picture of Pam's stunt, showing some weird bruises on her shoulder, can be found here.

Jessica Simpson lands Baywatch gig -- UPDATE
Jessica Simpson
continues her run at movie roles that don't actually require her to act (but they do require her to show off her
boobs). She will play Pamela Anderson's character in the movie version of Baywatch. Apparently her turn as
Daisy Duke last summer really wowed the makers of the next television-to-the-big-screen project. Oh man, I suppose that
means she's going to re-make another song. What will it be this time? 'Good Vibrations'? Ha!According to FOX News, producers of the Baywatch movie hope that David Hasselhoff will agree to sign on to the flick since Jessica is on board.
Figuring out Pamela Anderson
A lot of people will tell you that Pamela Anderson got where she is today by her boobs alone, but that isn't much of a revelation. It was clearly her body that secured her roles in shows like Baywatch and Home Improvement, but what has always confounded me about her is that she never seemed to desire what I imagine most buxom actresses do, which is to have attention diverted from their chest and garner some legitimate respect for their craft. Okay, maybe describing Pamela's line reading as "craft" is a bit of a stretch, but as I've tuned in and out of her career over the years I can't help but notice how boobcentric it's been, and clearly by her own choice. There's her current show, Stacked, whose title refers directly to Pam's voluptuous frame, and then there was her recent Comedy Central Roast, where she wore a black see-through shirt, no bra, and was, for all intents and purposes, topless. It makes me wonder if maybe the reason she's so busty is because her boobs actually have brains inside them that have made all of her career choices while "Pam" is merely a biological attachment at the mercy of her double-brained Boob Master. The simple answer here seems to be that Pam is just using what she has for the benefit of a public that doesn't expect too much from her. What I find odd is that she doesn't seem to expect much from herself, either.
