Yes, the words “fake” and “Pamela Anderson” are often used together, but in this instance the fake part has less to do with the surgically enhanced bombshell than with the story circulating about her workout routine.
Basically, The Sun – and the dozens of blogs that routinely fail to fact-check – ran quotes from an alleged interview with Anderson in which she credited her good body and skin to – that’s right – sex. According to The Sun and others, Anderson said, “Looking good to me has always been because of the amount of sex I’m getting… I’ve hardly ever been a member of a gym and I can’t follow diets.”
Well, Gossip Cop suspected the story was somewhat phony, and even phoned a mutual friend of ours and Anderson’s, who told us that the “Stacked” star once gave somewhat similar quotes . . . but well “over a year ago.”
It also sounded fishy because the reporter surprisingly didn’t ask about Anderson’s recent rendezvous at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino with ex-husband Tommy Lee. Additionally, when questioned later in the piece whether she would ever marry again, the “Baywatch” star was quoted as saying there was a time when she thought, “’You know what, I’d love to, but who’s going to have me?’ Seriously, imagine the advert in the lonely hearts column: ‘Mother of two, boisterous boys. Slightly crazy ex-husband never too far away.’”
Yeah, why would she now call Lee “crazy,” and, more puzzlingly, say “advert,” a word not used by Americans – or Canadians like Anderson.
When Gossip Cop put The Sun to task, they said that until we alerted them they were “not aware Pamela had not done any interviews in a while.” The paper then said that the freelancer who fed them this story admitted, “The interview was indeed done last year but his quotes had never been used.” How about the quotes being fake?
The Sun added, “Sorry for any confusion.”
