ADVERTISEMENT 2025 is turning out to be the year of the Pamelanaissance.
The former Baywatch star wowed us in The Last Showgirl, a film which made our Top Movies of 2025…So Far – and which may or may not have inspired Taylor Swift for the title of her new album.
Then there was her starring turn in Naked Gun, in which she shines opposite Liam Neeson.
Now, there’s a bit of a pivot: Anderson is moving from the set to the pantry, as she’s selling artisanal pickles.
Yes, you read that correctly.
The 58 year-old actress and pop culture icon has teamed up with Los Angeles lifestyle brand Flamingo Estate on a limited-edition release, “Pamela’s Pickles” – jars of spicy and floral pickles retailing at $38 (€32) a pop.
Apparently, the base recipe comes from Anderson’s great-aunt Vie. The actress added a personal flourish with dried rose petals, while Flamingo Estate layered in pink peppercorn, guajillo chile and smoky sea salt, along with regenerative organic Espelette pepper.
Doesn’t sound too bad… But why in fermented hell is Pamela Anderson selling them? What with her recent big screen renaissance, surely things can’t be that bad?
Well, it’s all for a good cause as 100 per cent of the proceeds from the vegan pickles will be donated to the California Wildlife Center (CWC), a wildlife medical treatment and rehabilitation facility that provides medical care for more than 4,000 wild animals each year.
So it’s a bigger dill than just another celebrity hawking prepaid budget wireless providers or peddling vagina-scented candles.
The new pickled product comes days after Anderson responded to comparisons made between her cookery series, Pamela’s Cooking with Love (on Prime Video), and Meghan Markle’s With Love, Meghan (Netflix).
Both shows debuted earlier this year, with Anderson’s series debuting one week before Markle’s.
Last week, during the show Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Anderson was asked if Markle had copied her.
“On a scale from one to 10, how much of a rip-off did you feel like With Love, Meghan was of your show, Pamela’s Cooking with Love?,” Cohen asked the actress.
Anderson replied: “One – I didn’t. (…) I didn’t invent cooking shows. She’s just doing her thing.”
Euronews Culture has watched both shows, and we can safely say that Anderson’s is the superior one. At least she doesn’t create asinine welcome baskets masquerading as lifestyle hacks in which she cracks open a bag of store-bought pretzels only to transfer them into a clear bag with a handwritten label that makes it look like the duchess has actually made an effort.
Elsewhere, Anderson has recently hit the headlines for her rumoured romance with Liam Neeson. The two actors have reportedly become the new “it couple” of 2025, and the internet has been going wild over the A-list liaison.
Their love affair recently got some backing from Oscar-winner Jamie Lee Curtis.
The Freakier Friday star, who starred alongside Anderson in The Last Showgirl, told VT in an interview: “With all due respect to pop culture, if love has found [its] way into that relationship – God bless them both – leave them the f*ck alone.”
She added: “Both of them have had hardship, and they’re both beautiful human beings. If they actually have found an intimate love with each other, we should all go to bed tonight feeling better.”
Feeling better… and with pickles in our online shopping cart.
