Pamela Anderson(credit:

Yes, we know that title makes absolutely no sense, but then again neither does the relationship its subject, Pam Anderson has… or had… or is having… with current hubby and “poker pro” Rick Salomon.
Pam Anderson, perhaps best known for celebrity generated by running really slow in a bathing suit on the old Baywatch TV show, has made a habit of getting into and out of relationships in very… unique ways. The infamous sex tape with former hubby and rock-star-of-old Tommy Lee set the bar for “fame by accidental release of sex tape”, one which was met by socialite heiress (sort of) Paris Hilton. Here is where things develop an interesting twist…
Paris’ pal in her tape was none other than Rick Salomon. After his 15 million downloads of fame Salomon caught on to the poker craze, which is how he met Pammy. Anderson, you may recall, “Wed” Doyle Brunson in a very freaky ceremony to commemorate the launch of her very own poker room, which quickly took a nose dive and imploded.
Well, if you haven’t heard the story yet, Pammy was playing Rick (and others) in a high stakes poker game and got in debt (she claims her driver played for her while she went to the powder room and that was how she wound up $250k in the hole, but it would be more believable to think it was her poker playing that put her there.) In the end Rick suavely promised to forgive the debt for a date, yadda-yadda-yadda, and they were married.
So Pammy and Ricky show up to play at the Aussie, despite rumors that the were headed for splitzville, and supposedly Pam is preggers with Rick’s rugrat. Is it the truth? Man, we just don’t know. But we do know that as this very important poker story continues to develop, we will be right here to analyze it with the attention it deserves.
