Hollywoodlife.com claims Pamela Anderson married her estranged husband, Dan Hayhurst, for the wrong reasons. A source tells the website, “Pamela got married to Dan for the wrong reasons. She was in lust, not love. And because they were in the middle of a pandemic, he really helped to get her through that dark time. They quarantined together and it was beautiful. The emotions were so raw and he was exactly what Pamela needed at the time. But right before the holidays, Pamela realized that this wasn’t working for either one of them. First off, she did not like living in Canada. She is a California girl through and through and not being close to her sons really got to her. It is over and the divorce is going through but there is no bad blood. You won’t hear either one of them talking bad about the other one. It just didn’t work anymore.”

Dear Fonseca
I got thrown out of my gym on Saturday morning. I was working out when I overheard several men 'Cat Call' me from across the gym. I went over and confronted them. Another woman then butted in and told me I deserved to be cat called because of what I was wearing. She said I should take the cat calling as a compliment. I had on spandex shorts and a sports bra. I'm very toned and proud of my body. I should be able to work out without being cat called. I think it's disrespectful and not a compliment. What do you think? Was I asking for trouble because of what I was wearing? Is this my fault?
