Clean Trailer-Park Living
As the record-holder for most Playboy covers ever (12), Pamela Anderson has plenty of practice reeling off her likes and dislikes. The latest, according to a hard-hitting Elle UK interview: The "Baywatch" alum abstains from sunblock, used to be a tomboy-nympho in school, likes morning walks with her minister, and enjoys trailer-park living.
A trailer park? Uncurl that sneer. Anderson isn't one of those sad, Hollywood foreclosure tales (no matter what Courtney Love said). The 42-year-old mum moved into a one-bedroom trailer in nearby Paradise Cove while she was getting her Malibu home renovated. Now, she doesn't want to budge from her love nest with electrician boyfriend Jamie Padgett (by one account a "totally moral, nice, normal guy").
Besides, a Malibu trailer park isn't exactly your average hurricane magnet. A few years back, the "woodsy neighborhood" of Paradise Cove and its ocean views qualified for a spot on a Travel Channel special about millionaire mobile home parks, and got coverage in the LA Times and NYT for being a "new playground for the rich."
The real-estate free-fall hasn't changed its charms nor curbed rising prices: Radar Online recently dubbed the place "the most expensive trailer park in America." Anderson may know something about real estate after all: She and Padgett popped into Montenegro as the latest possible site for her investments in ecologically green hotels.
So what does Paradise in trailer form look like? Radar Online posted a photo gallery of one pricey specimen. What can we say—you're paying for the views. Of the beach, not the neighbors.

What Is Pam Thinking?
When contemplating the many misadventures of Pamela Anderson, how often have you muttered, "What in the world was she thinking?" Well, prepare to say it again, only this time in the present tense. You see, Anderson can't seem to decide whether or not she wants a divorce.
The fiasco started when word hit that the busty blonde had split from her latest husband and all-around class act, Rick Salomon (best known for filming himself and Paris Hilton in the tender act of copulation). Pam and Rick had been married for only two months, so folks were eager to learn the reasons behind the breakup. Searches on Ms. Anderson surged 234% while interest in Mr. Solomon jumped an astounding 2,228%.
Now it seems Pam and Rick have taken Al Green's advice and will stay together. Of course, as with all things Anderson, these plans are subject to change at any time so we recommend you keep it tuned to the Buzz for future updates.

Between a Kid Rock and a Hard Place
Did the heavy hand of Borat have something to do with this? After all, three ceremonies should have portended a charmed union, but Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock's marriage couldn't outlast short-timers Renée and Kenny.
Our sympathy is with Pamela. She got 20 times the searches of her soon-to-be ex, whether from folks looking for her web site which confirmed the news, or guys just looking for suggestive pics. While the announcement naturally spurred the failed pairing of "pamela anderson and kid rock," just last week more people were pining wistfully for her former match-up with Tommy Lee.
Not that Kid Rock was holding her back. A missus or not, she's practically the only Buzz celeb with "super hot" status, as in searches for "pamela anderson super hot" and "pamela anderson super hot actress." Hey, we're not arguing: We thought her satirical performance in the underappreciated "V.I.P." was incisively keen.
