“There was a huge sense of wanting to do this real person justice and tell their story honestly, and with great empathy and protecting them,” Pam & Tommy ’s Lily James said about playing Pamela Anderson in Hulu ’s multi-Emmy-nominated miniseries. “This felt so personal and became really universal beyond this story that just happened to Pamela, and became about really looking at how we treat women,” she added of the professional and private blows the Baywatch star suffered from a stolen sex tape that lit up the internet in its near infancy.

Pamela Anderson — Hey Rick, I’m Out! Files For Divorce Again
Third time's a charm ... even in divorce -- Pamela Anderson just filed to divorce Rick Salomon for the third time, but this time she means it ... we're sure. According to docs obtained by TMZ ... the " Baywatch " babe separated from Salomon Tuesday and then ran to court Wednesday to file for the divorce ... a familiar process for these two.

No. 18 ‘San Andreas’ – 2015 Most Valuable Movie Blockbuster Tournament
When it comes to evaluating the financial performance of top movies, it isn’t about what a film grosses at the box office. The true tale is told when production budgets, P&A, talent participations and other costs collide with box office grosses, and ancillary revenues from VOD to DVD and TV.
