Pamela Anderson has been in the news a lot lately, primarily because of her rumored romance with Liam Neeson.
But it’s Pam’s interactions with another septuagenarian screen icon that are raising eyebrows today.
In a 2023 documentary about her life and career, Anderson claimed that screen legend Sylvester Stallone made her a very unseemly offer when she first arrived in LA.
Pam doubles down on claims about Stallone’s sly offer
“He offered me a condo and a Porsche to be his ‘No. 1 girl.’ And I was like, ‘Does that mean there’s No. 2? Uh-uh,’” she recalled in the doc.
“He goes, ‘That’s the best offer you’re gonna get, honey. You’re in Hollywood now.’ I wanted to be in love. I didn’t want anything less than that.”
Yeah, Sly doesn’t come off as much of a gentleman in that story.
So it should come as no surprise that he called BS and claimed that Pam made the whole thing up.
“The statement from Pamela Anderson attributed to my client is false and fabricated. Mr. Stallone confirms that he never made any portion of that statement,” read a statement from Stallone’s lawyer.
Pam appeared on Watch What Happens Live amid this dispute, and for the first time, she was asked directly about Stallone’s denial. And she didn’t back down from a single detail of her story.
“Well, how could you make that up? I mean, that was pretty specific,” she responded.
When host Andy Cohen jokingly asked if she might have been swayed by a different car, Pam joked, “What, like a Shelby Cobra? No, no, no!”
It’s good that she can laugh about it. But it’s even better that she’s now backing down from her claim Stallone was sort of creepy toward her.
Pam’s second act draws rave reviews
These days, Pam is receiving acclaim for her performance in The Naked Gun, a sequel to the beloved 1988 Leslie Nielsen comedy of the same name.
And after several years away from the spotlight, Pam is embracing the attention and making the media rounds — often in the company of her rumored boyfriend, Neeson.
It’s unfortunate that Anderson was forced to deal with so many creeps early in her career.
But perhaps the years of dodging unwanted attention gave her a talent for spotting red flags and a greater ability to recognize quality partners when she finds them.

An Anchorage Superior Court judge ruled Thursday that the Alaska Division of Elections was correct to keep Anchorage Republican Jose Tagle on the primary election ballot for state House even though he filed a blank form when asked to disclose his personal finances.
State law requires candidates for public office to complete a Public Official Financial Disclosure form that lists their income and personal finances when they register as a candidate, but Tagle filed a blank form when he filed to challenge incumbent Rep. Ted Eischeid, D-Anchorage.
The Alaska Democratic Party challenged Tagle’s eligibility, but the division dismissed the party’s challenge, saying that the Alaska Public Offices Commission, not the division, is in charge of verifying a form’s accuracy.
The party sued the division, challenging that dismissal and arguing that a blank form is the same as filing no disclosure at all.
In a 23-page decision, Judge Josie Garton agreed with elections officials, saying the Division of Elections does not have to ensure that the information in the disclosure form is accurate.
“While the Division enforces the physical, simultaneous filing of the statement at the deadline,
Determining whether the statement’s contents are substantively compliant with (state law) is the express statutory responsibility of APOC,” she wrote.
Candidates have 30 days after the filing deadline to amend their personal financial disclosure forms, Garton said, and if they remain inaccurate at that deadline, only then may the director of the Division of Elections “not certify a person’s nomination or election to office.”
It isn’t yet clear what that will mean for Tagle’s election. Tagle filed an amended financial disclosure form on Aug. 8, more than a month after the 30-day period allowed by law.
Sam Curtis, a spokesman for the Alaska Department of Law, said by email that “APOC can now consider his amended financial disclosure, the complaint filed against him, and whether he is eligible to advance out of the primary election and appear in the general election.”
The department represented the division and the lieutenant governor’s office in the case.
Of Garton’s decision, he wrote, “the court’s decision confirms the Division’s practice: the Division makes sure candidates file financial disclosures on time, while the Alaska Public Offices Commission investigates whether their disclosures are accurate. This is the process set out in law. Mr. Tagle filed on time and is on the primary election ballot.”
Tagle and Eischeid are the only registered candidates for House District 22, and if Tagle is disqualified from advancing to the general election, Eischeid would be unopposed for re-election.
Garton’s decision appears to open the door for future candidates to delay disclosing their personal finances until the primary election is well underway.
Alaska’s candidate filing deadline is June 1, and if candidates are permitted to file blank forms until the 30-day period ends, that would halve the amount of time that primary election voters have to inspect candidates’ personal finances.
In court last week, an attorney representing the state said that practice is acceptable under current law.
Garton asked about the issue during oral arguments last week, and her ruling on Thursday adopts the state’s position.
“A person who files a POFD that fails to accurately report the required information does not forfeit (their candidacy) upon the initial, non-compliant filing,” she wrote.
The Alaska Democratic Party had suggested in preliminary written arguments that it could appeal Garton’s decision to the Alaska Supreme Court, but in a statement on Thursday, the party implied that it would not do so.
“The Division of Elections has decided it wants to keep its head in the sand, and the court concluded that it is up to APOC to clean this mess up,” said Jenny-Marie Stryker, executive director of the Alaska Democratic Party, in a written statement. “Now that the decision sits squarely with APOC, we expect the commission to take a hard look at the facts and the law. Mr. Tagle’s blank disclosure left voters in the dark for months — and even if his recent amended filing is accurate, which is not at all clear, it does not change the fact that it was submitted well after the deadline to come into compliance.”

All of Brad Pitt’s kids are adults, and more and more are legally filing to drop his surname instead of just dropping it socially.
Reportedly, he blames Angelina Jolie for what seems to be the natural consequences of his own behavior.
Pitt, who has made the fascinating decision to start drinking again, doesn’t sound too worried about being estranged from so many people who once loved him.
A new report says that he’s biding his time — and is confident that he’ll somehow win back his kids’ love.
‘He’s not despairing about the situation with his kids’
According to a report by RadarOnline, 62-year-old Pitt isn’t giving up on worming his way back into his estranged children’s lives.
“One thing about Brad that’s stayed constant is that he knows how lucky he’s been, decade after decade,” an alleged inside source described.
“Even on a bad day,” the insider characterized, “it’s still a lot of fun being Brad Pitt.”
That is likely true! And a very damning assessment of how little the entertainment industry, or our society as a whole, holds terrible men accountable.
“Besides that, he has patience, resilience, and persistence, and he’s not despairing about the situation with his kids,” the source then reported.
“Brad knows he’ll eventually have a place in all of their lives again,” the insider claimed, “because he helped raise them and develop them into the people that they are today.”
The source insisted: “Nobody can take that away from Brad — no matter what’s going on with his legal fight with Angelina.”
It almost sounds as if that alleged inside source believes that Angelina Jolie or perhaps some sort of legal injunction is the source of the estrangement.
Meanwhile, it is likely that asking any of the Jolie kids would lead to the answer that Pitt is the sole architect of these estrangements. Obviously.
According to the insider, Pitt is taking a “mature approach” to his future ties with his estranged children, all of whom are now adults.
‘He’ll always be their dad’
“Brad’s really changed on his sobriety journey over the last several years,” the source then claimed.
That is interesting to hear, especially in light of the recent revelation that he is drinking again.
“He’ll always pick up the phone if his kids need something from him,” the insider announced.
“And,” the source added, “he’s not going to change that policy anytime soon.”
That doesn’t really seem to mean much. He isn’t the one who cut off contact. By all accounts, he is just the one who drove away everyone who loved him and is now reaping the consequences of his actions.
The Brangelina custody battle is no more. The twins, Knox and Vivienne, turned 18 just over a month ago, on July 12.
“Even though all six kids and Brad have been through some tough times together, he’ll always be their dad,” the insider stated ominously.
“In the end, he wants them to be as proud of him as they are of Angelina,” the source added.
If that report is true and Pitt really hopes for his children to have pride in him, perhaps he should earn it.
Obviously, it’s likely a fools errand, at this point. But surely it wouldn’t hurt for him to try to be a good person, even if only for his own sake, even if it’s too late for anyone to reasonably expect reconciliations at this point.
