There seem to be a lot of stories this week about celebrities’ parents or in-laws moving in and taking over. Yesterday we told you that Angelina Jolie is pissed that Brad asked his mom to come live with the family while Jolie is filming a new movie. And the friction between Katie Holmes and her mother-in-law is the stuff of legend in tabloid-land. The latest celeb to be irritated by family is aging Playboy star Pam Anderson.
Pam Anderson’s mother has taken over her life – and it’s driving the former Baywatch babe crazy!
Pam brought her mom Carol in from Canada on March 2 to help with her two sons, Brandon, 12, and Dylan, 11. But as soon as Carol moved in, “she completely took over the household,” a source told The Enquirer.
The blond bombshell – who is dating surfer/electrician Jamie Padgett – recently remodeled her house, fired her babysitter and is getting ready to do some traveling, so she was desperate for help, says the source.
“Carol spoils her grandkids, thinks she knows best and definitely speaks her mind.”
And she’s treating 41-year-old Pam like a little kid, says the source.
“She wants to know where Pam is going and when she’s coming home. She’s also asking Jamie personal questions and digging into his past. When Pam complains, Carol tells her, ‘I’m your mother, I have the right to ask.'”

I can just imagine Pam’s mom now: “Pam, honey, where are you going, and why aren’t you wearing pants?”
I don’t know – given that this is Pam Anderson, maybe having mom in the driver’s seat isn’t such a bad thing. And if her mom is there to watch the kids while she is gone, the woman has every right to know where she’s going and when she is coming back. Would you give that information to someone who is in charge of your kids, in case there’s an emergency? As for her mom asking the boyfriend questions- well, look who Pam was married to, for crying out loud! I’d be willing to be that Mom is asking all the questions Pam SHOULD be asking before running out and getting married on a lark- again.
Here’s Pam, hoping to get some attention while dining at The Ivy in Hollywood. Photos: WENN.
Jamie Spears, your next job is calling you!
My understanding was that her boys live with her mom, and stay with pam when she’s home.
I can empathise with Pam on this one – it’s one thing to ask someone where they’re going and when they’ll be back when that person is looking after the other one’s kids – but the friction is probably from something even more mundane. The way I’m reading it, Pam’s mom sounds like my parents who immediately demand to know where I’m going practically every bloody time I get up from a chair.
Not even being able to go to the damn toilet without having to go through feckin’ Check-point Charlie every four minutes gets beyond annoying very quickly.
I thought Pam was living in a trailer with her BF…that would be really crowded
Why is it necessary to call Pam Anderson an “aging Playboy star?” We know how old she is (since it also seems to be necessary to state she’s 41 in every article), so why drive home the point? I’d hate for people to refer to me as aging (aren’t we all?), but because she was once young and beautiful, it’s somehow unforgivable to people that she should age and she must be mildly derided with every public mention. Sexist much?
OH MY GOD! Pamela Anderson is going crazy because someone is trying to impose order in her and her children’s lives?! Ghastly. F*** Pam.
And Ferber, unless you’re suffering from hepatitis C and nevertheless going out binge drinking and doing who knows what, then you are undoubtedly aging better than Pam (don’t worry!). That’s probably the only reason anyone bothers to mention it.
I just want know what a “surfer/electrician” is -LOL-
is there enough space on forms to list that occupation? Is it a registered occupation?
I just love the way the national enquirer writes, it’s makes it real entertaining.
I think I’m going to list my occupation as weekend cyclist/ weekday cubicle jockey.
Sounds great!
Feel free to make up you own…
Pam is a boiled over mess!! she needs an intervention STAT!!
I heard she was doing pills, I guess that would explain her erractic behavior..ie, crazy fashion show antics, living w/ a loser in a trailer and forgetting about her kids..
I never thought I’d ask for Tommy Lee to step in BUT….its not looking good
tasteT: You just described the bulk of the population where I live. We LIKE it that way!
Wasn’t Pam on the verge of death like, 10 years ago? I seem to recall when I was in high school that she was saying she only had 3 or 4 years to live, and I haven’t been in high school in QUITE awhile.
Oh gosh, maybe that’s the reason she’s been looking so ghastly lately: SHE’S A REANIMATED CORPSE.
@ blah, blah, blah: FINALLY! I was getting worried that I was the only one thinking that someone with sense living there was a good thing!
Pam’s mom waited a little too long to remind Pam what normal is…
I am a casual field hockey player/ husband hockey spectator and public calmer downer person…..lol
