Pamela Anderson on ‘Big Brother’

For those of you who didn’t quite catch Pam Anderson while she was in Australia, here’s the Baywatch star’s blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearance on reality show Big Brother.

She was paid over half a million dollars for this?? What a waste of good money!

Mamela Won’t Go Nude in Aussie ‘Big Brother’ House

Former Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson has entered the Australian Big Brother house, but has ruled out showering nude or sunbaking topless during her three-day stint on the Gold Coast, much to the disappointment of her many male fans, I’m sure.

The buxom blonde burst into the house just before 9 p.m. AEST last night, shortly after fellow blonde Brigitte, 21, was booted back into the real world.

According to a source, Mamela won’t spend the entire three days in the Big Brother compound, and will be free to “flit in and out” as she sees fit. No doubt she’ll jump between the tiny Gold Coast complex and her 5-star luxury condo at the Palazzo Versace hotel.

During a press conference outside the Palazzo yesterday, the serial Playboy covergirl admitted that she was being paid “a lot” for her three-day appearance on Network Ten’s hit reality show, though she refused to reveal just how big her paycheck was.

“Much more than I’m worth. I had to come. I can’t believe it,” she said. When she was asked if she’d received more than $500,000 from Big Brother’s producers, Anderson added: “I don’t want to say how much, but it was a lot.”

However, Pamela insisted that the whopping paycheck wasn’t the only thing that drew her in to the Big Brother appearance. “I think it’s a lot of fun and I like doing things people tell me not to do and this is definitely one of those things,” she said.

Big Brother airs at 7 p.m. AEST every evening on Network Ten. To view Pamela and the other housemates live in the house, head to the official Big Brother website.

UPDATE: A couple of pics from Pamela’s appearance on the eviction show last night have been added. Please follow the jump if you’d like to view them.

Anne Hathaway Red Hot in Oz

Anne Hathaway scorched her way up the red carpet at the Warner Bros. Movie World Theme Park on the Gold Coast overnight, for the Australian premiere of her new movie, Get Smart.

She and co-star Steve Carrell (who plays the infamous agent Maxwell Smart) also appeared on the Network Ten variety show, Rove Live, shortly after the premiere.

The interview Anne and Steve gave on the show was one of the most entertaining I have seen from a celebrity — they spent half the time competing with the host to see who had the best fake dry-retching (long story, don’t ask!) — and at the end of the segment, Anne gave the money she’d won in a super round of fast questions to a fan in the audience.

If you’d like to see the interview, part one and part two are available here.
