Pamela Anderson says there is no feud with Meghan Markle over cooking shows
Pamela Anderson is not worried about claims that Meghan Markle copied her new food series. The former Baywatch star spoke about the issue on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. When Cohen asked her to rate, on a scale of one to ten, how much Markle's With Love, Meghan looked like her own Pamela's Cooking With Love, Anderson answered 'One.' She added, 'I didn't invent cooking shows. She's just doing her thing.' How the rumour started Fans noticed that both shows feature garden scenes, casual kitchen chats, and celebrity guests. Anderson's trailer came out in October 2024. Markle's teaser followed three months later. Online threads pointed to similar camera angles and even matching font styles in the titles. Some viewers accused the Duchess of releasing a 'frame-for-frame' copy. Different networks, same idea Pamela's Cooking With Love is streamed on Amazon Prime. Episodes show Anderson and a guest chef picking vegetables in her Vancouver garden before cooking a meal outdoors. Markle's eight-part Netflix show centres on simple dishes and home-grown produce in Montecito. Both series mix recipes with lifestyle tips, but Anderson stressed that overlap is normal in food television. Anderson's calm response Anderson told Cohen she had only seen quick clips of Markle's programme and did not spend time looking for likenesses. She joked that there is room for anyone who wants to share food and stories on screen. Her relaxed tone cooled much of the online debate. What critics say about Markle's show With Love, Meghan drew mixed-to-negative reviews (≈38% on Rotten Tomatoes; 37 on Metacritic). It briefly entered Netflix's Top 10 in its first week, and mid-year engagement tallies cited by several outlets place it outside Netflix's Top 300. Even so, Netflix has ordered Season 2. Positive buzz for Anderson Anderson's series has earned strong notices and a high user score on IMDb. Executive producer Jesse Fawcett said any comparison is a compliment because it proves their team set a trend others want to follow. Anderson plans to film a second garden season next spring. No reaction from Meghan Markle has not commented on Anderson's remarks. Sources close to her say she is focused on shooting new episodes and expanding her As Ever lifestyle brand. Observers doubt she will address copy-cat talk directly. They note she has stayed silent through similar critiques from Martha Stewart and Gwyneth Paltrow. Two stars can host cooking shows without a feud. Anderson's light answer suggests she sees no threat. Unless Markle fires back, the story may cool as fast as it boiled up. For viewers, the choice is simple: prime-time garden meals with Pamela or California comfort food with Meghan. Either way, dinner is served.

Parineeti's Healthy Protein Chaat Recipe Is The Guilt-Free Tasty Snack You Need
Last Updated: Parineeti Chopra delights fans with a healthy and tasty protein chaat recipe made with air-fried papdi, Greek yogurt, chutneys, and love. Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra has just made snacking guilt-free and glamorous. She went to Instagram to post a speedy, healthy and totally scrumptious recipe — a protein chaat prepared right at home. 'Eat and show off to people (like I'm doing)," she mentioned in the happy story that put smiles on fans' faces and growls in their tummies. The recipe, posted on her Instagram story, immediately gathered attention as being easy and earthy. A Healthy Spin on Chaat with Substitutions Forget deep-fried street food. Parineeti's version gives the beloved chaat a nutritious spin. She begins by making mini besan (gram flour) rotis. Instead of frying them, she pops them into the air fryer — crisp, oil-free and golden. She stacks these crunchy papdis with a good spoonful of Greek dahi, minced onions, sour imli (tamarind) chutney and green chilies. Steamed aloo (potatoes) provides heft, and a sprinkle of black chaat masala completes the dish. Each mouthful resembles a perfect combination of health and bliss. She also advises, 'Eat and show off people (like I am doing)." Who is Parineeti Chopra? Parineeti Chopra is one of Bollywood's most versatile talents. She started her acting journey with Ishaqzaade in 2012, where her bold and lively act caught the eye of critics as well as the audience. Since then, she has been seen essaying all kinds of characters across genres—from light-hearted rom-coms to hard-hitting dramas. She's not only recognized for her on-screen talent but for her off-screen personality too, frequently giving us peeks into her life and interests on social media. Fans Love Her Relatable Vibe Parineeti's fans adore her for her honesty, warmth, and relatability. Her latest post is no different. With simple ingredients and an even simpler approach, she makes it easy for anyone to recreate this protein chaat at home. By replacing fried with air-fried, and adding Greek yogurt, she healthifies the street food favourite. It's a conscious pleasure that doesn't dip into taste. Back to Screens Soon Parineeti Chopra was seen most recently in the musical drama Amar Singh Chamkila, with Diljit Dosanjh. The film, which is about the popular pop star duo Amar Singh Chamkila and Amarjot Kaur, was released on Netflix on April 12, 2024. Now, the actress is gearing up for a mystery thriller series on Netflix. Directed by Rensil D'Silva and produced by Siddharth P Malhotra, the untitled show also stars Tahir Raj Bhasin, Anup Soni, Jennifer Winget and Chaitannya Choudhry. It promises to be yet another exciting project in Parineeti's growing OTT journey. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
