Shannen Doherty calls Paris Hilton’s sex tape with her ex ‘disgusting’

Shannen Doherty, 37, was married to porn purveyor Rick Salomon, 40, for just nine months in 2002. (She still lasted longer with him than Pamela Anderson, who filed for divorce 10 weeks after they were married late last year, took it back, then ultimately obtained an annulment five months later.)

Doherty talked about her brief marriage to Salomon in an interview with Details Magazine. It sounds like they had a blast together, but once the initial euphoria was over their relationship crashed and burned. Salomon is the co-”star” and the person who filmed Paris Hilton’s sex tape, 1 Night In Paris. While he initially filed suit against the company that sold the tape, and against Paris’ family for sullying his name by claiming that he was behind its release, he eventually cashed in and sold the blue film through his own company and made millions.

In a new interview with Details, Shannen Doherty admits, “I haven’t made the best choices in men.”

(She famously married George Hamilton’s son, Ashley, in 1993 after two weeks of dating. They split seven months later.)

But out of all of her past romances, Doherty says she has no regrets over Rick Salomon, who appeared in the infamous Paris Hilton sex tape.

“There was something that Rick provided that was amazing to me,” the currently single star tells Details.

Still, she adds, “I look at what he did [with Hilton] and think, ‘God, that’s disgusting.’”

But during their 2002 marriage (which was later annulled), “I never had someone make me laugh so much. I was madly in love. It was a really hard marriage. When it ended, it was a heart-crushing thing.”

As for her future on CW’s 90210, she says, “We all agreed we’d see how it goes.”

She said she wouldn’t have done the show if her character Brenda “was stuck in the same spot.

[From US Weekly]

The last time we heard from Doherty about her stint on the new 90210 she said that she had another project and couldn’t commit to new episodes. There were rumors that she was dropped due to similar bad behavior on set that got her canned from the first series. Now she’s saying she’s allowed to stay on the show on a trial basis. I guess we know now that her excuse about the other series she was working on was bogus.

Doherty and Salomon are shown on 9/2/02 right before leaving LAX to go to Mexico to attend Freddie Prinze Jr and Sarah Michelle Gellar’s wedding. Credit: Fame Pictures

Pamela Anderson’s third marriage is annulled


Pamela Anderson’s brief marriage to porn purveyor Rick Salomon never officially happened. The two were granted an annulment of their two month marriage yesterday. Anderson initially filed for a divorce in December, then took it back and said they were working on their relationship.

Late last month she filed for an annulment and Rick followed suit on Friday. Each of them checked the box for “fraud” for the reason they were seeking an annulment. An annulment declares a marriage null and void as if it never happened, but the parties have to prove there’s a reason for it. From what I understand “fraud” is one of the most common reasons couples cite, and is one of the least salacious options, as MSat explained in her post about it.

On the Ellen Degeneres show last week Pamela Anderson quipped that “Men are like books: beginning, middle and end,” but I would say men are more like glossy magazines to her, and she thinks she has a subscription to them that she can renew or end at will.

Anderson was seen out with the father of her two sons, Tommy Lee, at the movies on Easter. She looked like she was wearing some sort of beach wrap. Anderson’s other new ex, Rick Salomon, is shown out with an unnamed woman. Thanks to Splash News for these photos.

Pam Anderson wants to annul marriage to Rick Salomon


Pam Anderson sure knows how to pick ‘em. She married heavy metal douchebag Tommy Lee twice, then wed scrubby rap/rock star Kid Rock. That marriage clocked in at just three months and ended amid claims from Kid that Pam faked a miscarriage to get him to cancel his tour. Not long after the ink on that divorce dried, Pam married Rick Salomon, after claiming that she paid off a poker debt to him in sexual favors. That marriage lasted even less time than her marriage to kid. Now, the aging Playmate has decided that her marriage to Rick was such a mistake, a plain old divorce isn’t enough– she wants an annulment.

In documents filed yesterday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Anderson is seeking an annulment of her two month marriage to Salomon, based on fraud!

In addition, both parties are seeking to have a private judge hear the matter.

[From TMZ]

You can see the court document here. In it, Pam stipulates that both parties are not entitled to any property, assets or spousal support, and that the grounds of the annulment are based on fraud. Actually, if you look at the document, “Fraud” is one of the least offensive choices to get an annulment– there’s also “bigamous marriage,” “incestuous marriage,” “incurable insanity” and “force.”

Could it be that Rick is looking for alimony from his bride of two months? And why the hell does Pam have such horrible taste in men? If she were smart, she’d find herself a rich plastic surgeon and settle down. Dating and marrying rock stars and scumbags has taken a toll on her looks.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Anderson is shown visiting the Brigitte Bardot Foundation in Paris on February 14 as the new PETA spokesperson.

Pamela Anderson says she’s not pregnant with off-on-off husband’s baby


As if the Pamela Anderson quickie divorce story could get any more complicated, TMZ is claiming that the 40 year-old ex Baywatch babe is pregnant with her newly estranged pornographer husband’s baby. As to how a pregnancy in the early stages could prompt a woman to file for divorce, Anderson’s ex Rick has said he thinks it’s making her act “crazy” and that he hopes she’ll take back her second divorce petition, after reneging on the first only to file again two weeks later.

TMZ has learned the divorce between Pam Anderson and Rick Salomon is back on and Pam is pregnant!

You’ll recall Anderson filed for divorce last month, but called it off just days later. But sources tell TMZ she is now moving forward with the divorce, even though we know she’s pregnant with his baby.

Salomon has told friends he believes she is “acting crazy” because of the pregnancy and hopes she will settle back into the marriage. Interestingly, in her divorce petition, Anderson asked for spousal support but not child support.

[From TMZ]

This week’s In Touch claimed these two were attending therapy after Pamela’s first divorce filing. In our article about Pamela’s second divorce filing, I noted that she wrote the end date of their marriage as 12/13, which would mean that she only tried to make it work for one week before deciding to scrap her marriage again. That’s hardly enough time to go to more than one session, but here’s what In Touch had to say about it:

Rick wants to save the marriage, so he agreed to do anything Pam asked - including weekly therapy sessions. “Pam loves Rick, but she’s not sure they were meant to be married,” her pal explains. “Rick, on the other hand, thinks that they’re meant to be together. They are so different in many ways - that’s why Pam insisted on therapy.”

[From InTouch, print edition, January 14, 2007]

Maybe therapy didn’t work after one session so Pam thought she may as well get out while she can. This isn’t a woman who realizes that relationships have problems that require more than quick fix solutions.

After Pam filed for divorce the first time she wrote on her blog that she was going to make some drastic changes in her life. She said “This is the year I do everything I wanted to do - my way. I have so many great projects - for the environment- for animals. I’m going to be proud of every single day- and make sure I do not veer from the path.”

There’s an entry on Anderson’s blog today that suggests she’s denying pregnancy reports. It’s titled “no” and simply says “no.” In her previous entry she denied being in Australia, as recent reports suggested she was. I think we can all assume that she’s saying she’s not pregnant in this latest post, even if she doesn’t want to explain it.

Pamela Anderson is shown at LAX nightclub on 12/31/06, thanks to PRPhotos.

Another shocker: Pamela Anderson really will divorce Rick Salomon

rippamrickheader1.jpg
Pamela Anderson filed for divorce from her husband of a whole two months, Rick Salomon, on December 14th of last year. Then she tried to take it back, saying simply on her blog that “We’re working things out.” Things didn’t work out so well for Pam and Rick. She filed for divorce again just two weeks later and managed to beat her three month divorce record with musician Kid Rock from 2006.

In the second set of divorce papers Anderson listed their marriage as lasting from 10/6 to 12/13. That means it was really only a week that they tried to make it work and then gave up again. That’s not enough time to go through couples’ therapy, although from Anderson’s marriage record it seems that individual therapy might also be in order.

The papers were served two weeks after Anderson first filed for divorce from Salomon, a decision she rescinded just a few hours later with a blog post that they were “working things out.”

Seen alone on New Year’s Eve, Anderson recently blogged on her site: “2007 was an interesting year for me. What’s the definition of insanity? This is the year I do everything I wanted to do – my way… I’m going to be proud of every single day – and make sure I do not veer from the path.”

Anderson, 40, stated in her divorce request that she and Salomon were married from Oct. 6 to Dec. 13.

[From US Weekly]

In her blog she seemed to say that it was foolish to try and make it work with Salomon, saying “What’s the definition of insanity?,” the answer to which is usually “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” In Anderson’s case that means getting married, so maybe this will be the last divorce we hear about from her for a while. She probably still thinks the problem lies with her chosen mates, though, and not with herself.

Anderson can quote all the dimestore psychology she wants, and say that she’s making a change with this divorce, but really it’s just status quo for her to get a divorce. She doesn’t seem the most self-aware person in the world. She’ll probably say she’s making a change for the better later this year when she divorces her next husband - just in time to publicize her latest Vegas act.

Pam Anderson & Rick Salomon had big blowout over jealousy, reality show

rippamrickheader1.jpg
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.

[From The NY Post]

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.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, December 31, 2007]

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.”

Pamela Anderson files for divorce from Rick Salomon after 2 months (update)

rippamrickheader.jpg
Everyone said that Pamela Anderson’s divorce from internet gambling tycoon and fellow sex tape star Rich Salomon was inevitable, but it still is shocking to me that her third marriage was even shorter than her second. We thought her three-month union with Kid Rock last year was incredibly short, and now Pamela Anderson has filed for divorce from Rock Salomon after just over two months of marriage. It was right around this time last year that she divorced Kid Rock, so she must just get fed up around the holidays.

According to court documents first obtained by CelebTV.com, the former Playboy Playmate has filed for divorce against her husband of just over two months.

On Dec. 14, Anderson filed a claim for dissolution of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.

Anderson, 40, and Salomon, 39, a longtime pal, tied the knot on Oct. 6 at the Mirage Hotel Las Vegas. It was the third marriage for both.

[From CelebTV.com]

Anderson and Salomon had a lot of superficial things in common. Both have children from other marriages that are aged 9 and 11. Anderson has two sons, while Salomon has two daughters. Salomon has also been married twice before, although his shortest marriage before Pam was with Shannon Doherty and lasted a whole nine months.

These two were said to be pitching a reality show “Newlyweds” style, but they don’t need the reality show curse to doom their relationship. Anderson has denied that she was working on a reality show about her personal life, and instead blogged that it would have featured her stage career, but that talks fell through. As for what she’ll do next she is no longer performing in Vegas with magician Hans Klok and says she will do some surprise gigs in Europe but will mostly stay home to take care of her kids. Hopefully she’ll take some time to get her head on straight.

Update: TMZ reports that Pam and Rick aren’t getting a divorce and that they’re going to work on it. Pam blogged today “P.S. We’re working things out…” Doesn’t it seem like you should exhaust all of those options before you file papers?

Pamela Anderson and Rick Salomon: Newlyweds


Pamela Anderson’s Vegas show has finished its run, now she’s looking for a new venture for her, er, talents. Since she’s not much of an actress, more of a personality, it seems like the reality television phenomenon is just made for her. She and husband Rick Salomon are going to be in a Newlyweds style show.

The couple, married Oct. 6 in Las Vegas, will produce and star in their as-yet-untitled show, scheduled to premiere next year, according to a report in Us Weekly.

The show will center around their married life, including their partying at various Vegas clubs and, yes, their work with the homeless, according to the magazine.

Fox News

I guess the show hasn’t premiered yet, as it was only a month ago when Pam said she and Rick were “in every night, having sex.” While sex tapes might have been the order of the day for the couple previously, it seems they are going to keep that part of their life private. It’s just everything else they’re going to allow to be filmed for entertainment value.

I’m not sure why they’re keeping that part of their lives private - why not sell their show to a more questionable network, and just call it Newlyweds: When Sex Tape Stars Collide?

I wonder if Pamela and Rick will follow in the footsteps of other reality stars Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, or Hulk Hogan and wife Linda, and divorce shortly after the show finishes. I think that they’ll get divorced reality show or not, but hopefully they’ll show the divorce on the show. That would make for by far more entertaining viewing than parties and charity work.

Note by Celebitchy: We reported on this reality show rumor back in October, when The National Enquirer had a story that they got married just so they could pitch the show. They’re doomed, but maybe they realize that and want to cash in while they can.

Pamela Anderson and Rick Salomon are shown at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino grand opening on 11/17/07, thanks to PRPhotos.

Pamela Anderson Plans Her Retirement

prn-011915.jpg

Pamela Anderson is just a big tease. She’s performed seductively with the Pussycat Dolls dance troupe, she’s lured Borat across America, and now she’s teasing us again – threatening to retire.

She tells USA Today that she has maybe “five more years” of show business in her.

“I get offers to do movies and TV all the time. I say no to everything. Drives my agent crazy,” Ms. Anderson says. “But I’m lazy. I don’t want to work. I want to be with my kids.” Those children are Brandon, 11, and Dylan, 9, her sons with ex-husband Tommy Lee. She wed Rick Salomon in October.

Dallas News

In 5 years your kids are probably going to be embarrassed when their friends try and check out their aging mother’s assets as she drops them off at school. Teenage boys don’t care if they’re fake or real. I also suspect that she’s not going to be a lot of help in the math department for much longer - like most people she probably hasn’t done algebra since high school. And she thinks everything adds up to DD.

She also says her marriage to Rick Solomon wasn’t undertaken in haste.

“Nah,” she said of her seemingly hasty stroll down the aisle. “I make all of my decisions in about five minutes.”

Plus, after nearly two months of wedded bliss, preceded by 15 years of being friends, Anderson says things have never been better or more solid.

“I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. We’re good for each other… He knows about all my stuff, and I know all his. We’ve always rooted for each other.”

As for how the duo spends their free time, the answer is hardly unexpected for celebs of their stature.

“We’re in every night,” she told the paper. “Having sex.”

E! News

Well, the marriage might have been undertaken in haste, but Pammy knows how to keep her man happy. And given the couple’s history, I’m guessing a sex tape is heading our way pretty soon.

Pamela Anderson had a classy wedding

top-prn-008918.jpg

In traditional classy Pamela Anderson style, the busty blond got married to Paris Hilton pornographer Rick Salomon at lightning speed. I didn’t even realize they were dating… or not enough to care. I mean Pamela Anderson goes through men the way athletes go through socks… after awhile it all gets so gross that you have to stop paying attention. Salomon was the guy who videotaped himself having sex with a seemingly drugged-out Paris Hilton, and then sold the tape for a ton of cash. So it seems like he’s definitely classy enough to marry Pam. And luckily, OK Magazine has the details on what I’m sure was an incredibly romantic event.

“I am finally fulfilled in my life in every area,” Pamela Anderson told OK! following her Oct. 6 nuptials to Rick Salomon. “I’m having the best time in my life.”

And while the wedding was classic Pam — whimsical, romantic and planned at lightning speed — the couple revealed to OK! that it was actually Rick who organized the ceremony from top to bottom, hiring Rachel Ashwell of Shabby Chic to transform a villa at the Mirage with white roses, balloons and hundreds of votive candles.

With the blessing of her father, Pamela’s driver and confidante Errol Lyon gave her away. Friend and stylist Charlene Roxborough helped the Baywatch babe pick out her cream denim Valentino gown and vintage Neil Lane jewelry for the ceremony, which Pam described to OK! as “unpretentious and super-genuine.”

[From OK Magazine]

Well it certainly could have been worse. I expected her to ride in on a Harley, flip off the minister/judge/random officiant, and then shove her tongue down Solomon’s throat. But it sounds like it was a tad bit nicer. Pam is about three seconds out of her marriage to Kid Rock, and you’ll remember she was married to Tommy Lee a couple times. After each relationship, she always goes back to him. I think in some ways, you’re always bonded to the person who gave you Hepatitis C. There’s some connection with the guy that gave you your first STD that’s really hard to break.
