Champion in water. Champion on land.
American icon and television star Pamela Anderson has ripped back into full public view, of late, with the publication of her memoir Love, Pamela alongside the release of her Netflix documentary special Pamela, A Love Story. The one-two punch certainly the way to do it in this never-enough media landscape.
Smart.
In any case, surf fans were devastated, almost two weeks ago, when Anderson revealed that she never loved surf great Kelly Slater, declaring that only professional drummer Tommy Lee, and only Tommy Lee, held that spot. Slater and his Baywatch co-star dated for a few years in the late 1990s and cut a fine figure. Alas, it was apparently not to be nor, stunningly, ever was.
Though, in a whiplash 180, Anderson now states, “I met Kelly Slater on the set of Baywatch. He was my big love actually. He was such a sweetheart to me, and so good to me.”
David Lee Scales (no relation to the aforementioned Tommy) watched the Slater portion of the documentary and says the greatest surfer of all-time got much more air play than Mario Van Peebles, who also dated Anderson, and also that the two might have gone farther if not for Lee, who swept the blonde off her feet in the middle of her time with Slater.
Imagine, though, if the 11x world champion had been in the club, that night, forcing Lee into a priority interference. Might Slater Jr. be competing at the Pro Pipeline right now? Anderson on the beach cheering them both on?
A fairy tale for the ages?
We will never know.
In the meantime, we have the fairy tale titled Chief of Sport: The Rise of Jessi Miley-Dyer. David Lee discussed her new make-believe job title and much more on our weekly chat. Worth a listen if only for a li’l hongi.
Breath in, friend.

The rumour I heard at the time was Slater challenged Lee to a surf off with the winner having uncontested access to Pam to make an intimate video celebrating the victory. Apparently Tommy with no expectations having had no previous surfing experience comfortably out surfed Kelly with a couple of minutes training by the legendary Patrick Swayze
There’s always a taller, richer and bigger guy out there.
the movie alludes to the fact that tommy can helm a speed boat using only his large unit. legendary would be t was on the set of babewatch, hijacked the lg boat only to perform the same. Pam: “yeah, kelly couldn’t do that!”
This ai thing seems similar to too many humans train of thought. If someone says it, what ever it is, it must be true. Doesn’t matter how outlandish or how harmful it may be. I’m sure toledo is mr pipeline to a few Brazilians now.
They can have Seth Rogan. We keepin Pam and Jim Carrey.
Fireman Bill vs Lifeguard Larry in the Finals!
Being a sweet heart to a hot sexy young lady is where Kelly lost Pamela. The only Time a hot lady likes a sweetie is when they’re on their period. This is scientificly proven.
Tommy lee rocked up wearing dirty clothes to their first date. He did, however, brush his teeth.
Yikes!
She loved his big dong
took a beatin & kept on tickin…
I’ll listen to it later
Edit: commented on wrong thread 🙄
Chat Gupta doesn’t appreciate your tone.
Like my mate said whilst sponging one day: Not the first time, won’t be the last time.
press ‘upgrade…’
Probs really this was the biggest missed marketing opp surfing ever had!!
Imagine the dicks and tits on seats, if those 2 were an item for the woz at the time baywatch was so hyped.
Pammy and Kelly dolls for days!!
Do we even know who Slater’s baby mama is???
Yikes.
seezzin’
“American icon and television star Pamela Anderson”
She’s Canadian – not American
Tommy lee has a bigger pipe than little ke-ly, he’s laid it out several times and pammy has always grinned with glee, some even say it hangs down to his knee.

In old tracks mags they used to comment that kel had a python downstairs, though dino andino was supposed to be biggest on tour.
