Pam Anderson gets screamed at in a case of mistaken identity
Pamela Anderson said she was verbally attacked by a man who thought she was someone else. She explained, "I was on a flight and this guy came up to me and said, 'Do you know what this country's done for you?' And I was like, 'Oh, my God. What have I done?'...I looked back and he was grrr.
Then this stewardess had to handcuff him to the chair because he was trying to attack me." It turns out he thought she was a member of the former The Dixie Chicks, who had caused some political ruffling.
Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag from "The Hills" lost everything in the wildfires, and Spencer begged people to buy songs from an album Heidi put out many years ago. Well, showing how much their fans care, Spencer told Variety, "I made, like, $4,000 on TikTok this week, but on TikTok LIVE, where people can just give to me direct, I think maybe $20,000. So that's phenomenal, and life-changing. That's the power of individual supporters, people just backing you and getting behind you."
On "The View," Ben Stiller opened up about rekindling his marriage with his former co-star and wife of 25 years, Christine Taylor. The two took a long break from their marriage in 2017 and got back together during the pandemic. As for what brought them back to loving each other in 2020, Ben said, "I don't know how it happened other than we both wanted it," adding, "Now, every day that we're together, we do not take for granted."
With wildfires tearing through Los Angeles County and forcing hundreds of thousands of residents to evacuate, generous donations from businesses, organizations, and celebrities have been pouring in. A dozen local pro sports teams have pledged cash and merchandise to evacuees, and companies like Airnb, Amazon, Disney, Kroger, NFL, Paramount, Skechers, and Walmart are stepping up with millions in aid and essential supplies. Celebrities are also stepping up, like Beyoncé with a $2.5-million donation to the L.A. Fire Relief Fund through her BeyGOOD Foundation, Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest sending $1 million to wildfire relief efforts, as well as Leo DiCaprio, Eva Longoria, and more. Some people are questioning Halle Berry and Jennifer Lopez' donations, which are simply clothes from their own closets.
Chappell Roan has had a huge year of success, but she said it could've been even bigger is she was "wearing a muzzle." She explained, "If I were to override more of my basic instincts, where my heart is going, 'Stop, stop, stop, you're not OK', I would be bigger. I would be way bigger." Chappell has been outspoken about many things during her career, including calling out paparazzi that were mean to her, calling out fans who have crossed boundaries with her, and more.
