Pamela Anderson Finds ‘Pam & Tommy’ Series ‘Very Painful,’ Source Says

]

The upcoming Hulu series Pam & Tommy has brought up some very painful feelings.

“The upcoming Pam & Tommy Hulu series has been very painful for Pamela Anderson and for anyone that loves her,” the source tells ET. “It is shocking that this series is allowed to happen without her approval.”

Anderson’s marriage to Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee is being dubbed as “The greatest love story ever sold.” The series premieres with the first three episodes on Wednesday, Feb. 2, with new episodes streaming weekly on Hulu. An extended trailer dropped earlier this month, showing another side of Anderson and Lee’s sex tape scandal and the intense roller-coaster ride the then-couple went through following the leak of their infamous sex tape.

The actress and rock star’s budding relationship instantly became tabloid fodder, and amplified after they got married in Mexico after dating for less than a week. A source tells ET that Anderson, who shares sons Brandon and Dylan with Lee, says she has no regrets about her life, save for one dark moment.

“Pamela has no regrets about her life,” the source said, “but the only thing she would probably erase is this burglary. She feels so violated to this day. It brings back a very painful time for her.”

In the latest trailer, former employee Rand Gauthier (played by Seth Rogen) and his friend, Uncle Miltie (Nick Offerman) concoct a plan to steal a giant safe at Anderson and Lee’s home. The safe so happened to store the sex tape the couple made on their honeymoon in 1995. Gauthier and Miltie try to sell the tape, and they ultimately find success on the internet despite being in its infant stages. The trailer later cuts to Anderson wearing her trademark red swimsuit while on the set of Baywatch, stumbling upon the show’s crew huddling over a TV and watching her and Tommy’s most intimate moment on tape.

Anderson, portrayed by Lily James, is in utter shock. But Lee? Not so much. Lee, portrayed by Sebastian Stan, can’t figure out why Anderson’s hysterical, and it’s a sentiment Lee still shares to this day, according to the source.

“Tommy feels fine about the series coming out and is excited to see it,” the source tells ET. “He still doesn’t understand how this incident impacts Pamela differently from himself.”

While Lee has more than given his stamp of approval to the series (Lee told ET he has no problem with Stan portraying him), the same cannot be said of Anderson, who is in the midst of divorcing her fourth husband. In fact, she appears to have wanted to be so far removed from the project, James’ efforts to reach Anderson went unanswered.

James recently revealed she attempted to contact Anderson about the project, to no avail.

“I was really hopeful that she would be involved. I wish it had been different,” James told Net-a-Porter’s Porter for its cover story. “My sole intention was to take care of the story and to play Pamela authentically.”

Christina Aguilera extends olive branch to Britney Spears after conservatorship snub, plus more news

Christina Aguilera extends an olive branch to Britney Spears after snub Shortly after Britney Spears’ conservatorship was terminated in November 2021, Christina Aguilera was asked at the Latin Grammy Awards if she’d had “any communication” with her former “Mickey Mouse Club” costar. Christina said she was “so happy” for Britney, as her publicist ended the chat and moved her along. Despite what was perceived as a snub — even by Britney — Christina now says she’d “love to” catch up with the singer. “I would always be open to that. It’s a subject that I definitely want to be careful of because I never want to speak out of [turn] about somebody that I have so much respect and admiration for,” Christina told iHeartRadio’s Enrique Santos on his show this week. “I will just say what I do feel comfortable saying, as I’ve said before actually and stated: that I couldn’t be happier for her. Every woman deserves to feel empowered and to own that for themselves however they see fit,” Christina said. “Growing up in this business can be freakin’ crazy, so if anybody gets that and understands what that means at that time coming up, you know, it definitely would be her and I,” she added. “I love being able to connect like that with other women. It’s very important now more than ever, now that we do have the ability to connect, that that happens and that we always feel unified.” Christina’s olive branch comes after Britney slammed the singer for failing to answer the question she was asked about the conservatorship that dominated Britney’s life for 13 years. “I love and adore everyone who supported me … but refusing to speak when you know the truth, is equivalent to a lie!!!” Britney wrote on her Instagram Story last fall, sharing a clip of Christina’s interview question dodge.

‘Pam & Tommy’ series ‘brings back a very painful time’ for Pamela Anderson: Report Lily James, who plays Pamela Anderson in the upcoming Hulu series, “Pam & Tommy,” recently said she reached out to Pamela in the hopes the “Baywatch” alum “would be involved,” but Pamela never responded. Now, an Entertainment Tonight source is shedding new light on Pamela’s true feelings about the series, which documents her highly publicized romance with Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, including the former couple’s leaked 1995 sex tape. “The upcoming ‘Pam & Tommy’ Hulu series has been very painful for Pamela Anderson and for anyone that loves her. It is shocking that this series is allowed to happen without her approval,” the source tells ET. “Pamela has no regrets about her life,” the insider says, but the burglary in which the sex tape was stolen is “the only she would erase.” Adds the source: “She feels so violated to this day. It brings back a very painful time for her.” Tommy, on the other hand, approved the series and “is excited to see it,” according to ET’s source. “He still doesn’t understand how this incident impacts Pamela differently from himself.” Speaking to Net-a-Porter’s Porter, Lily said she read all of Pamela’s books and poetry and learned to “parrot” her past interviews while preparing for the role. “I wish it had been different,” she said of not being able to talk with Pamela before playing her. “My sole intention was to take care of the story and to play Pamela authentically.” “Pam & Tommy,” which also stars Sebastian Stan as Tommy, begins streaming on Hulu on Feb. 2.

John Stamos shares his emotional eulogy for best friend Bob Saget Tributes from Hollywood and beyond flooded social media following Bob Saget’s unexpected death on Jan. 9. But perhaps the most moving tribute of all came courtesy of John Stamos, who eulogized his longtime friend and “Full House” costar when the actor was laid to rest in Los Angeles last week. The Los Angeles Times published the full speech on Jan. 21, shining a light on how close the two were through the years and why the word “love” has popped up so many times in remembrances of the comic since his death. “I just wish he knew how much the world loved him when he was here,” John said, in part. “I spent many a night trying to convince him of how loved he really was (or maybe it was the other way around — him trying to convince me how loved he was). But that was just Bob bluster. There’s no way he thought his death would have this kind of impact.” Later, John recalled all the major life milestones during which he’d leaned on Bob. “He was my lifeline,” John said. “He loved hard and deep,” he continued, joking, “Cue Bob to make a joke out of ‘hard and deep.” As the speech came to an end, John recalled being “shattered” when he learned Bob was gone, but said he went to the home his late friend shared with his wife and “slipped into the backyard” alone. “I looked up to the sky and said, ‘Baby, please give me a sign from up there,’” he shared, adding, “I called him Baby because that’s how he entered his info into my phone years ago.” Eventually, John said, he realized, “I don’t need Bob in some other realm,” because “he’s in the lessons I teach my son and the hilarious dirty stories that my wife and I will laugh at for the rest of our lives.” In closing, John explained he now knows Bob is “never leaving my heart” and “will always be my best friend.” He added, “You are my new guardian angel — a guardian angel with the dirtiest mouth and a heart as big and benevolent as forever. I love you, Baby.” RELATED: Meatloaf dead at 74, plus more stars we’ve lost to COVID-19

Tristan Thompson posts about facing your ‘demons’ after paternity scandal Khloe Kardashian’s ex, Tristan Thompson, may have learned something from his latest cheating scandal. Other than his public apology to Khloe, Tristan’s been mostly quiet on social media since Maralee Nichols announced he’d fathered her child while in a committed relationship with Khloe, with whom he shares daughter, True. But on Jan. 21, the Sacramento Kings player shared a series of thoughts about facing one’s demons on his Instagram Story. “Sometimes you don’t realize your own strength until you face your greatest weakness,” he wrote, according to E! News. “Hide from your demons and they’ll slowly destroy your potential. Face them and they can potentially become your greatest asset.” Tristan posted his mea cupla to Khloe earlier this month, along with an acknowledgment that a paternity test showed he is, in fact, the father of Maralee’s son.

Pauly Shore was among Louie Anderson’s last visitors at Las Vegas hospital It’s already been a hard year for the comedy world. On Jan. 21, just weeks after Bob Saget’s death, a rep for Louie Anderson confirmed Louie had lost his battle with cancer after being hospitalized while undergoing treatment for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Prior to his death, however, Louie, 68, was able to connect in-person with his longtime pal, Pauly Shore, who tweeted on Jan. 20 that he’d just visited Louie. “Attention comedians and @theComedyStore alumni’s,” Pauly wrote. “I say this with a heavy heart just left the hospital in Las Vegas where Louie Anderson his sisters and close friend were kind enough to let me say my goodbyes he’s still with us but keep him in your prayers.” Pauly, 53, also assured a fan that he’d let Louie know how much he was loved while he was there. Once recognized by Comedy Central as “One of 100 Greatest Stand-Up Comedians of All Time,” Louie appeared in shows including “Baskets,” “Life with Louie,” and “The Louie Show,” as well as Eddie Murphy’s original “Coming To America” and its sequel. Louie’s death was confirmed the same day TMZ confirmed rocker Meatloaf had died of complications from COVID-19.

Pete Davidson and Colin Jost buy Staten Island ferryboat for $280k “Saturday Night Live” stars Pete Davidson and Colin Jost could be New York City’s next club big impresarios — and Mayor Eric Adams is ready to help them make it happen. On Jan. 20, Vulture reported the comics teamed up with Paul Italia, a co-owner of the Big Apple comedy club The Stand, to buy decommissioned Staten Island ferryboat. The trio reportedly plunked down $280,100 for the boat at an auction on Jan. 19. They now plan to convert it “into a live entertainment event space, with comedy, music, art” and more, according to the New York Post. The mayor’s already caught wind of the group’s plan and expressed support for the concept. “Pete, @ColinJost: I love this idea,” he tweeted on Jan. 21. “What a great way to give an NYC icon a second life. Let us know how we can help and we’ll be there for the maiden voyage.” Speaking to the Post, Paul said of the purchase, “We’re in the early stages, but everybody involved had the same ambition — not to see this thing go to the scrapyard.” Built in 1965, the ferryboat is reportedly in “poor condition” and will need to have multiple mechanical problems fixed before it can step into its new life as a club. Both Colin and Pete hail from Staten Island.

Dakota Johnson calls out mom Melanie Griffith for posting embarrassing childhood photos Like a lot of moms, Dakota Johnson’s mother operates with a different metrics system when it comes to gauging the level of embarrassment she could cause her daughter in various situations. Unlike other moms, however, Dakota’s mother is Melanie Griffith — which means there are a lot more eyes what she posts on social media. As Dakota told James Corden on the Jan. 20 edition of “The Late Late Show,” this fact doesn’t stop Melanie from posting old pics of Dakota at will. “I don’t like it, but I also don’t go on social media, so I don’t find out about it until it’s really baked into the Internet, and somebody will send it to me like, ‘Oh, you were so ugly.’ Or ‘You were so cute, when you had braces and a slicked back ponytail,’” said Dakota, 32. So what does “The Lost Daughter” star do when she discovers a new photo of herself on her mom’s social media? “[I become] a 12-year-old,” she told James with a laugh. “I’m like, ‘Mom, you can’t do that. We’ve had this conversation so many times!’ She doesn’t care,” Dakota said. It’s not much better in real life, Dakota noted, recalling the time she spotted her ’90s-era celeb crush, Jonathan Taylor Thomas at an airport. “Saw him in the airport and I was like … I think I was 8 — ‘Oh my god, Mom, it’s him, it’s really him.’ I was like, ‘We’re gonna be married. We’re gonna be together forever! We’re the same. We love each other.’” That’s when Melanie helpfully hollered at the star to come say hello. “I was across the airport behind a plant,” Dakota recalled. Alas, she was still “very visible,” she said, laughing. “I couldn’t hide behind the plant … it wasn’t like a tree.”

Popcaan, Beenie Man, Tommy Lee Sparta Sounds On Killings Of Women In Jamaica

]

Popcaan, Beenie Man, and Tommy Lee Sparta are among dancehall artistes sounding off about the killing of women and sharp rise in crime.

Jamaica has unfortunately recorded 72 murders within the first 15 days of the new year. Just when citizens thought it could not get any worse, on Friday, January 21, 2022, there was the dubious first of six women being killed in less than 24 hours. This unprecedented occurrence has many calling not only for a resumption in hanging but a full and comprehensive crime plan to tackle hardened criminals who are not showing any mercy.

Hours after the news broke about the killings rocking the island and the gender of the latest victims. Many have taken to social media to denounce the barbaric nature of the crimes being perpetrated against women. Among those adding their voices to the outcry are two of Jamaican’s most popular deejays, as both Tommy Lee Sparta and Beenie Man are outraged at the wanton and senseless killings of our women barely out of their teens.

Friday’s police blotter revealed three women killed in Trelawny and one each in Spanish Town, Naggo, and Dunkirk. Tommy Lee Sparta, who is currently behind prison walls, expressed his dismay and horror in an Instagram post with a video of a child with the caption across it stating, “it’s up to you.”

In the video, the little boy talks about how one can do anything if one has the will to do it and change. The “Hard Ears” entertainer wrote, “Young ladies and gentleman, we need a change. D country needs help. Time to meet the police dem halfway and fix the crime. Me nah stop til it fix. Yah know.”

Sparta fans fully endorse his sentiments as one offered, “That’s what it will take. The people respect the artist more than the politician. If they say peace and put it in music then we will have peace.”

While Tommy Lee called for people to assist the police in doing their job, the “King of the Dancehall” issued his own proclamation. Beenie Man feels that enough is enough as the bloodletting needs to be quelled as soon as possible. “What’s the crime plan for Jamaica? How the man dem a deal wid the woman dem so?” He asked in a recent tweet.

One fan commented, “It starts with every single one of us. We need to start pushing for the change we want and being it. Stop begging bly for the small man and stop letting the big man off. Nobody is too big or small to go to jail.”

Popcaan also sound off on the rise in the killing of women specifically.

“I would love to know what causing these war and senseless killing, it nuh look good!” Popcaan tweeted. “It’s sad and frustrating, man them killing kids for what reason? Killing so much woman for what reason? Killing 60 year old woman?? Tr888 up f***ry this man them affi fixtings.”

Popcaan ignited a debate among other concerned Jamaicans sounding off on the alarming crime stats.

“These Youths lock Motivation, Inspiration, Vision, Leadership,” one of his followers wrote. “So sad most of these Family members are keeping silent and covering up these killers. The friends and girlfriends who also brag and cover up for them. Where are they getting money from to support these GANGS?”

“Most times people know who these monsters are!” another person said. “It is sickening! Like, we need to stop protecting these aliens. I know we living in a sinful world but, we need to find a way to lower the crime rate because we can’t stop crime.”
