Today’s NY Post is reporting that Pamela Anderson filed for divorce from Rick Salomon after two months because he went into a jealous rage after seeing pictures of her canoodling with slimy magician Criss Angel. The National Enquirer reports that these two careened toward inevitable splitsville after being unable to agree on the subject of their joint reality show, a rumor that Anderson has tried to quash. Which was it? I bet it was a little bit of both mixed up with a lot of immaturity.

Here is the NY Post’s take on their breakup, which is now temporarily on hold as they try to put the sharp tiny pieces of their fragile relationship back together: (Which would make their hands bleed, but I’m only going so far with this metaphor.)

Spies in Las Vegas say Anderson spent Dec. 8, the night before her final performance with magician Hans Klok, “cozying up to” publicity-loving illusionist Criss Angel at club LAX. Pictures were taken, gossip was spread – and Salomon “hit the roof when he found out Pam was hanging out with Criss while he was off at a poker tournament. They had a huge fight,” and Anderson filed for divorce a few days later.

The Post quotes a friend who says that “Their relationship is so volatile [that] I’m sure this won’t be the last time [Pam] files,” but adds that she was just innocently hanging out with Criss and that nothing was going on there.

The National Enquirer’s take is that they were arguing over what focus their rumored reality show would take. Pam blogged that it was true that she was considering a reality show, but said that it would have focused on her professional life and not her family or kids or kids. Maybe that was true, but I have a tendency to believe the Enquirer’s version, because a show about Pam’s job as a magician’s assistant and celebrity who shows up to promote stuff sounds super boring:

Money is at the root of their problems, say insiders. The two have been quarreling over the details of a new reality show which will center on their lives…

Just last week the two had a huge blow-up when Rick tried to assume control over a deal for their proposed reality show, titled “Pam & Scum.” (Rick’s nickname is “Scum.”)

While Rick wanted the show to focus on his relationship with Pam and his gambling, Pam wanted their reality series to focus more on her life in Malibu with her two sons, says the insider.

“When Rick balked at that, Pam filed. She felt she was the marquee name, it was her show, and she’d do the negotiating.”

Their reality show would have been called “Pam and Scum?” That sounds so catchy and appealing.

The Enquirer article goes on to say that they agree now on the subject of the reality series after Rick gave in to Pam’s ideas about how it should center only on her, and that they’re trying to get the E! Channel to pick it up.

Maybe E! passed, or maybe the show is still happening and Pam wants to keep it under wraps by denying it. We’ll have to see what happens.

Pam admitted that her relationship with Rick started when she had sex with him to pay off a $250,000 poker debt, so it’s not like they had the most auspicious beginning. She seems like the type who can’t handle normal relationship problems and just wants to get the hell out as soon as she faces any sort of challenge with her mate. In that case maybe she should get divorced – and never marry again. That way, she can walk away whenever she wants. If she was just leaving boyfriends and not husbands she wouldn’t get as much publicity though, so she probably would rather get divorced again and reap all the headlines that go along with it. As it is we’re talking about her and all she’s done lately is work on a Vegas magic show and star in “Blond and Blonder.”
