Pamela Anderson named Person of the Year by PETA

Pamela Anderson has been named the Person of the Year by PETA for her tireless work to end cruelty against animals. The former ‘Baywatch’ star has been an active campaigner for animal rights over the years and her work has now been recognised by PETA. "For years, Anderson has been penning letters and posing in ads for PETA UK’s American affiliate in order to raise awareness of cruelty to animals and demonstrate how easy it is to avoid contributing to animal suffering," said a spokesperson for the animal rights group. She was awarded the title after a year in which she drew attention to animal rights issues by speaking to students at the Oxford University.

She also posed for pictures with her body painted in butcher markings, and filmed a TV commercial in which she strip-searches plane passengers for hidden furs and pelts.

The vegetarian actress-model also adopted stray dogs from an animal shelter and called on leaders in India to ban the country’s "unspeakably cruel" trade in leather.

Pamela Anderson’s ad rejected at Hong Kong airport

An advertisement featuring a scantily clad Pamela Anderson has been rejected by Hong Kong airport, animal protection campaigners have said. The commercial is the latest to be made by the group People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) in their long-running campaign against the use of animal furs and skins in fashion. In it, the former Baywatch star is seen dressed in a revealing airport security guard uniform stopping people and stripping them of leather belts and shoes and fur coats. The advertisement, titled "Cruelty Doesn’t Fly", also features comedians Steve-O, Andy Dick and Carol Leifer, a pair of models and Nina Hagen. PETA had hoped to place the advert on large-screen televisions throughout Hong Kong International Airport over the peak, year-end holiday period when more than 100,000 people a day pass through the airport. However, JCDecaux, the company that manages the advertising concession at the airport, rejected the advertisement as inappropriate.

"Given the groping that you see at security checkpoints that you see in body scans, we’re surprised that our light-hearted ad was deemed too risque, PETA Asia vice president Jason Baker said.

PETA said it hoped to place the ad in Berlin, Tokyo and Sydney and in airports in the US, but Hong Kong had been the first to reject it.

This year, an advertisement featuring longtime PETA supporter Anderson in a bikini with her body marked to show cuts of meats, similar to posters seen in butchers, was banned in Montreal.

Pamela to raise awareness about Hepatitis

Pamela Anderson has taken up the task of raising awareness about hepatitis among people. The former "Baywatch" star, who was diagnosed with a strain of the liver disorder back in 2001 after contracting it through a shared tattoo needle, urges people to get tested, saying there is nothing to feel embarrassed. "I’ve had liver biopsies. I get checked every single year, my doctor told me just keep doing what you’re doing. I also have the kind that’s easiest to control," she said.

"There is no cure for it, so the important thing is to encourage people to get tested and not be ashamed. People get embarrassed as you get it from blood-to-blood contact, but it’s not just junkies who have it," she added.

Pamela Anderson enters Bigg Boss 4

Pamela Anderson, who will enter Colors TV channel’s reality show ‘Bigg Boss 4’ on Wednesday for a three-day visit as a guest, says she is "excited" about the show as well as her first visit to India. The 43 year old, known for her curvaceous body, will reach Lonavala, where the show is being shot. "Namaste India! I am very excited to come to India and meet the ‘Bigg Boss’ housemates. Actually it’s my first visit so I hope I will be able to get some impressions of the country during my stay," Anderson said. The Hollywood celebrity, who has done TV series like "Home Improvement" and "V.I.P" and used her international fame for social causes, is the first American citizen to be invited to "Bigg Boss", the Indian version of international show "Big Brother".

The ongoing season of the show, being hosted by Bollywood star Salman Khan, has already been full of surprises with the choice of contestants, the catfights, romances and a wedding.

"With Salman as the host and eclectic mix of housemates, we have kept millions of Indian viewers glued-on to their TV sets for the last couple of weeks. With Pamela Anderson coming as a celebrity guest, the glamour quotient of the show will go up several notches," said Ashvini Yardi, head of programming, Colors.

’Bigg Boss 4’ currently has Indian celebrities like actors Ashmit Patel, Manoj Tiwari, Shweta Tiwari, Sara Khan, Sameer Soni, Dolly Bindra, model Hrishant Goswami, WWE wrestler The Great Khali and former dacoit Seema Parihar.

Pamela Anderson slammed for donating pay cheque to charity

Pamela Anderson has been blasted by an Islamic rights group for donating her $25,000 Playboy modelling fee to charity as the money was obtained through "immoral acts". Anderson posed for the January 2011 issue of the men’s magazine and handed the pay cheque to Waves 4 Water - a charity that distributes filters to people who don’t have access to clean drinking water in countries like Indonesia and Haiti.

Officials of the Islamic Defenders Front are fuming over the donation, claiming it is "against the law of God" to hand the modelling money to charity.

Habib Umar Salim of the Islamic Defenders Front said: "If she wants to be photographed naked, then she is challenging a bigger disaster to happen in Indonesia. It’s haram."

The actress, who became a household name after she appeared in TV soap as lifeguard CJ Parker, has agreed to be filmed frolicking in bed with the winner of phone firm Nokia’s latest competition.

The short movie ‘The Commuter’, is to be shot in high definition on the company’s N8 mobile handset and premiered in London next month.

Pamela Anderson faces bankruptcy

It has emerged that Pamela Anderson may be in on the verge of bankruptcy.

According to the Star magazine, Pammie is believed to be knee deep in debt owing more than 1.2 million dollars to various people.

The 42-year-old bombshell reportedly ran into financial problems after she failed to pay up construction companies for renovating her Malibu home in 2008.

The manager of Bruder Construction said, “ a lot of people are owed a lot of money.”

Apparently, the bombshell has to pay him 674,043 dollars.

The blonde is also supposed to be paying 252,360 dollars to California’s Franchise Tax Board in unpaid taxes accrued over two years.

Pamela Anderson spends one hour with a mystery guy in an outdoor bathroom

Pamela Anderson had people talking when she attended a recent photography exhibition, as she disappeared with a guy to an outdoor bathroom trailer for almost an hour.

The hottie was present at the opening party for David LaChapelle’s new photography exhibition at the David DeSanctis gallery in LA.

"She was with a guy who plays a character in Cirque du Soleil. They were in the outdoor bathroom trailer together for almost an hour,” said an attendee.

The insider added: “It was a really crowded party but everyone was whispering about it. We’re not sure what was going on in there."

Anderson’s representatives have maintained silence over the issue.

US airports ban Pamela Anderson ads

American airport bosses have banned a new animal rights commercial featuring former 'Baywatch' babe Pamela Anderson because it’s too raunchy.

Advertising chiefs at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) filmed a promo in which the actress stars as a scantily-clad flight security guard who strips passengers of fur and leather.

The ad was due to be shown at New York City’s three airports but bosses pulled the plug over fears the racy film will offend passengers with young children.

A representative for CNN Airport Network wrote to PETA bosses to explain the commercial is "particularly sensitive because children make up part of the demographic in airports".

The animal rights group is now hoping to show the film on in-flight entertainment.

Pamela Anderson reveals secret behind hot photo shoots

Having made a career by posing unclothed and doing explicit raunchy shoots, Pamela Anderson has finally revealed the secret behind her sizzling hot photo-shoots. The 42-year old stunner, who rules men’s imagination even today, has stated that it’s her mind and not her vital stats that make her feel sexy.
Pamela stated that even though she is ageing she feels like the sexiest woman on earth.

"I’m so much hotter in my mind. I always feel good - sometimes the reality just isn’t as great. But I don’t obsess on it. I know what I’ve got and I’m happy enough with it", said Pamela.

Pam bikinis racy for conservative Kiwis

Pamela Anderson’s promoter has shared his concern that her itsy-bitsy bikinis may be a tad too much for the conservative Kiwis to handle at their fashion week.

Anderson, 42, is set to bring some of her own skimpy swimwear range, Muse, co-designed by Richie Rich, into New Zealand fashion week this September.

The new label is “eco animal-friendly” in keeping with Anderson’s vegetarian and pro-animal rights stance.

But Anderson’s Miami publicist Brian Long, who brokered the deal, said he wonders whether New Zealand, with its “relaxed approach” to celebrity, was ready for the blonde bombshell.

New Zealand has not always embraced the celebrity thing like other fashion weeks do around the world so it is a little bit out of the ordinary. But being an eco-friendly line it seemed a good fit with New Zealand.

The line is more casual, and fashion-wise. New Zealand tends to be a little bit more casual than other places, though the bathing suits might be a bit skimpy for the Kiwis.

Pamela Anderson flaunts busty curves

Pamela Anderson might be aging in years but that hardly seems to be keeping her from flaunting her busty curves.

The stunning showgirl, who has been known for her huge set of assets, flashed her curvaceous figure in a tiny winy pink bikini.

Leaving nothing to imagination Pamela in her signature style went frocking in the sun at the Malibu beach.

What’s more was that her current beau Jamie Padgett soon joined her. The two met when Jamie apparently gave the actress a lift to the beach in his golf cart.
