Pamela Anderson clarifies relationship with Liam Neeson after he said he was 'in love' with her
Fans have not quite been sure what the status of their relationship is after he said he 'loved' her earlier this year.
But now the 58-year-old Canadian pinup has set the record straight as the Baywatch queen posed for Entertainment Weekly for their digital cover published on Tuesday.
Unfortunately there is no romance yet. 'I think I have a friend forever in Liam,' said Anderson. 'And we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he's a good guy.'
Neeson, 73, stars as Los Angeles Police Squad detective Frank Drebin Jr., son of Nielson's Frank Drebin.
Anderson plays a femme fatale character named Beth who asks Frank to solve her brother's murder.
Pamela also called Neeson as 'a true artist.'
'He comes from theater and Schindler's List and has done over a hundred films,' she raved about the hunk.
'And I did things inside out and backwards, came from television, and then my personal life kind of overshadowed my professional life,' said the ex-wife of Tommy Lee and Kid Rock.
'It is funny: We all come to this place in different ways, but to be able to share this experience with him is very meaningful and such an honor,' she noted.
She also said that he is 'the perfect gentleman' and 'brings out the best in you ... with respect, kindness and depth of experience.'
In October Neeson said he was 'madly in love' with the Playboy cover girl.
'She's just terrific to work with,' Neeson told People.
'I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with. She's going to be terrific in the film.'
The first Naked Gun films starred Leslie Nielsen and Priscilla Presley: they were in 1988's The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!, 1991's The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear, and 1994's Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult.
The Naked Gun reboot arrives in theaters August 1, is directed by Akiva Schaffer, and also stars Paul Walter Hauser and Danny Huston.
The first trailer for Naked Gun debuted in June 2025, and shows Neeson's character after he succeeded his father at the Los Angeles Police Squad.
This comes after Anderson said she doesn't enjoy her 'sex symbol' status.
The actress cemented her status as a sex symbol by playing 'C.J.' Parker in Baywatch in the 90s, but Pamela didn't actually enjoy the attention that came her way at the time.
During an appearance on the How To Fail With Elizabeth Day podcast, Pamela explained: 'I don't like being a sex symbol. I mean, I think it's not very sexy. I think we all aspire to be sexy in our relationships, but sexy for the world is, I don't know.
'It brought a lot of attention I didn't like, but I hate to say that because I'm not complaining, but I do feel that is a slippery slope where you are presenting yourself to the world like this and you get this attention back that.'
Pamela has adopted a makeup-free look on red carpets in recent years, and the actress is now embracing being 'more natural'.
She said: 'It can be even scary at times, me not wearing makeup and me being at this age, coming into this part of my career, I felt it was important for me in my personal life, to be more natural.
'I want to challenge myself and become and to be present myself in different ways because women are many things. We're not just the wild animal between the sheets.'
Pamela previously admitted to being shocked by the public's reaction to her makeup-free appearance.
The Hollywood star actually assumed that no-one would even notice if she decided to stop wearing makeup.
She told The Sunday Times newspaper: 'There's these beautiful clothes. I'm wearing Vivienne Westwood. I have this great hat and beautiful coat. Nobody's going to notice if I don't wear any make-up.
'I didn't realize it was going to start all of this, all these people really relating to me.'
Pamela feels the public's perception of her has changed over recent times.
The actress believes the shift is also beneficial for her two sons.
Pamela - who has Brandon, 29, and Dylan, 27, with her ex-husband Tommy Lee - shared: '[My sons] probably don't feel they have to defend their mom any more.'

Inside Superman actor David Corenswet's rollercoaster life from role in Netflix hit to how he beat Brit star to the role
IN an industry known for playing it safe, Hollywood has taken a real gamble by casting the relatively unknown David Corenswet as Superman. The 6ft 4in hunk certainly has the looks to become the Man of Steel — his wave of black hair and chiselled jawline making him look like he has been drawn by a DC comic illustrator. 14 14 But can he lead this blockbuster, out tomorrow, and break the curse of those who flew before him? It has been a bumpy ride for actors who have sported the superhero's giant S with pride on the big and small screens. And having got the part over 400 other wannabe Clark Kents, Corenswet understands the weight of the role, saying: 'There is an amazing, solemn responsibility to be the person to play this character. 'I know a lot of fantastic actors, better than I am, who may never be seen by more than an audience of 50 or 100 people at a regional theatre.' The Pennsylvania-born 32-year-old had a pretty standard entry into the world of acting, attending the famous Juilliard School of performing arts in New York. 'Seal of approval' Soon after graduating, he had a range of parts in TV shows, including House Of Cards, The Politician and mini-series Hollywood. All while living just outside Philadelphia, near the same small town in Pennsylvania where he grew up. Two years ago, he married fellow actor Julia Best Warner, who he first met at a youth summer theatre programme. The couple had their first child, a daughter, in 2024 — the year after he was cast as Superman. One fellow auditionee was his movie co-star Nicholas Hoult. The British actor got the role of baddie Lex Luthor instead, and graciously describes Corenswet as 'otherworldly', adding: 'He's got this Old Hollywood persona which makes him feel even more relevant and timely to this version of Superman and Clark.' Superman seen flying over iconic London landmark in Britain's highest public sculpture 300m above ground James Gunn, who wrote and directed this splendid new Superma n — which I found had more style, heart and humour than any before it — said: 'From the very beginning, he was the guy to beat, frankly.' Corenswet apparently sent Gunn a 'beautiful' handwritten letter following his audition. And Gunn was confident the actor had all the attributes he was looking for, revealing: 'I couldn't go for someone that had the look, but didn't have the chops. 'I couldn't go for someone that had the chops, but didn't have the look. I couldn't go for someone that had the looks and the chops, but couldn't do the comedic parts, or couldn't do the more vulnerable aspects.' Even the family of the late Christopher Reeve — who played Superman in the Seventies and Eighties — give Corenswet their blessing, with youngest son Will Reeve making a cameo appearance in the film. 14 14 14 Hope and goodness At the premiere, Will said: 'Getting to see David in his suit was a trip, he looked great. I told him he had the seal of approval. 'And then afterwards, he walked off to take care of his, at that time, infant daughter, and seeing him in his full get-up, cape and all, pushing a stroller so that she would rock off to sleep, felt like an all-American image. "It was a lot of fun to see that.' But having won the role, Corenswet's initial feeling was one of trepidation. He said in a rare interview with GQ magazine: 'A role like Superman seems like something that everybody would want, and that's not true. There are some people who wouldn't want that role and who would, if given the opportunity, say no. I am obviously not one of those people David Corenswet 'There are some people who wouldn't want that role and who would, if given the opportunity, say no. I am obviously not one of those people. But I certainly tried to think of reasons not to.' And he was right to be cautious, as those who have taken on the character before him have endured many problems over the decades. In 2022, British actor Henry Cavill revealed his shock over being let go from the role in the DC Universe films. He made sure his fans — along with everyone else — knew he was blindsided, saying in a public statement: 'I just had a meeting with James Gunn and Peter Safran, and it's sad news, everyone. 'After being told by the studio to announce my return back in October, prior to their hire, this news isn't the easiest, but that's life.' And Henry was not the only actor who found the role to be kryptonite. There is a talk of a 'curse' that has struck the supposed indestructible hero time and time again. Legend has it that co-creator Jerry Siegel put a hex on the character because his bosses at DC Comics did not give him a cut of the millions in profits Superman earned them. 14 14 14 He is said to have written in capital letters: 'I put a curse on you.' Kirk Alyn was the first actor to have the S emblazoned on his chest, appearing in a 1948 movie titled simply Superman. He once said: 'Playing Superman ruined my acting career and I've been bitter for many years about the whole thing.' The American died in 1999 at the age of 88 after developing Alzheimer's disease. Playing Superman ruined my acting career and I've been bitter for many years about the whole thing Kirk Alyn Next up as Clark Kent was the chisel-chinned George Reeves in the 1951 film Superman And The Mole Men, and more than 100 episodes of the TV show Adventures Of Superman. In 1959, having hung up his cape, George was found dead aged 45 with a single gunshot wound to his head. The official cause of death was suicide, but with no gunpowder residue found on his hands and witnesses reporting multiple shots, this verdict has long been in doubt. Theories about the true killer include him being bumped off by a Mafia hitman hired by the jealous husband of one of his lovers. But it was Christopher Reeve who truly brought bumbling reporter Clark Kent and his superhero alter-ego to life in the hit 1978 movie, Superman. The previously unknown actor became a global star, appearing in four of the DC films. In 1995, eight years after leaving the role, he was paralysed from the neck down when he was thrown from his horse. He died in 2004, aged 52, from an infection linked to his long-term condition. 14 14 Those who tried to follow Reeve have struggled with the weight of the cape. Brandon Routh only managed one movie, Superman Returns in 2006, before falling into relative obscurity. The role was then given to Henry Cavill. Among the most tragic of fates was that of Reeve's co-star in all four Superman movies. Margot Kidder, who was the romantic interest Lois Lane, suffered a spinal injury in a car accident while filming a Nancy Drew TV series in October 1990. I know a lot of fantastic actors, better than I am, who may never be seen by more than an audience of 50 or 100 people at a regional theatre David Corenswet Unable to work for two years, she ended up homeless, was diagnosed with manic depression and, in 1996, suffered from delusions one of her ex-husbands was trying to kill her. The Canadian actress was found dead at her home in Montana in May 2018, aged 69, following what the coroner ruled was 'a self- inflicted drug and alcohol overdose'. Meanwhile, Lee Quigley — who played baby Superman, sent to Earth in a spaceship by his parents in the 1978 film — died in 1991, aged 14, of a heart attack linked to solvent abuse. It followed years of bullying at school and developing a habit of glue-sniffing. Despite all this, Corenswet still sees the role as one of hope and goodness. Explaining what sets Superman apart from other movie heroes, he says: 'The fact that he is essentially free from angst and turmoil internally. 'He's a good guy who had a great upbringing, loving parents, has wonderful relationships with his friends and a romantic relationship and loves what he does.' However rose-tinted Corenswet's view of the role may be, the seemingly shy actor — who describes himself as an 'introvert' — might not yet have grasped its magnitude. Admitting he is not sure how he will cope with being spotted in public, he says: 'Most great things come with trade-offs. Who knows? Maybe nobody will recognise me.' I have a feeling they just might, David. 14 14

'Superman' brings a message of hope to a cynical world
Superman might do more than just save Metropolis — filmmaker James Gunn hopes the beloved superhero will bring hope to a cynical world. 'Everybody's gotten so cynical and ironic," said Gunn. 'Everybody's ironic about everything all the time. And he (Superman) is a good-natured guy who wants to be kind. And when you see the world through Superman's eyes, everyone is beautiful.' 'Superman,' which flies into theaters nationwide Thursday, is a bit of a change in tone for the writer and director who brought a mischievous playfulness and snark to the chaotic worlds of 'Suicide Squad' and the 'Guardians of the Galaxy.' But this wasn't some fringe misfit: It's Superman. And a certain amount of optimism was necessary. The Man of Steel has been a symbol since he first appeared in 1938 among the technicolor pages of Action Comics #1 as a baby from the planet Krypton sent to Earth as a last resort to save him from his planet's demise. In the 87 years since, various iterations of Superman have graced countless comic books, animated series and live-action television shows and films, many focusing on the hero's origin story. Through Gunn's lens, audiences meet a Superman three years into his self-appointed journey to save anyone in need of help. Superman has reached a point where he must confront what it means to do good and seek justice in a complicated world where many, especially the infamous Lex Luthor, question his intentions. 'We get to really discover what are his flaws, what are his opinions, what are his ideals. I think we get a very intimate look at his relationship with Lois. I also think that it's a bigger movie than it's ever been told with Superman before,' Gunn said. Gunn's vulnerable Superman is someone simply wanting to make the world a better place in an attempt to be accepted by his adopted homeland. He quickly learns that despite his super strength and metahuman abilities, he cannot do it all on his own. David Corenswet said in recent interviews that Gunn's first instructions to him were to 'work on his shoulders and his vulnerability.' Rather than transform into Superman, leaning into his own humanity and inner self is what led Corenswet to find the character. 'Any fantasy I had of transforming into this character sort of got dashed by James' desire, I think, for me to bring a little more of myself to the role,' Corenswet told The Associated Press. Meet the Justice Gang The themes resonated with many of the actors on and off screen. Actor Isabela Merced, who portrays Hawk Girl, says watching the film before its release gave her a sense of hope after a challenging week of consuming news stories. 'Perfect timing, I think. This film is speaking on history. I mean, you could apply this to many historical events, but I think it's really amazing. It's really amazing that this movie is coming out and has a great message behind it," Merced said. "I was really relieved when I watched it. I was having a terrible week, consuming way too much real media and watching this made me feel really light and happy and at least hopeful." While Edi Gathegi, who plays Mister Terrific, says the film is a 'meditation on the human spirit.' 'Whatever problem that you're going through, you can attack," Gathegi said. 'If it's a big societal issue or interpersonal issue, you have the power to deal with the problems that you can deal with.' Merced, Gathegi and Nathan Fillion, who plays Green Lantern Corp member Guy Gardner, round out the upcoming members of the Justice League, playfully referred to in the film as the Justice Gang. But don't hold on to that label; it's still a working title among the characters. Superman's acts of heroism are never isolated throughout the film. The Man of Steel is accompanied by his superdog Krypto, the Justice Gang, Metamorpho or Lois Lane and the team of journalists at the Daily Planet. Kent's job at the paper isn't just a title either: Journalism gets its own spotlight in the fabric of the film. Power of the Press Gunn doesn't just focus on Superman's humanity but highlights the importance of truth and the power of journalism to fight against injustice. 'James' intentional focus on the importance of journalism and journalistic integrity in this film is potentially more important now than it has been," Brosnahan said. 'One of the joys of stepping into this has been understanding in a deeper way what you all do and the ways in which you put yourselves on the line in pursuit of the truth, and it's been an honor to step into that.' Beck Bennett, who plays reporter Steve Lombard, says it was nice to see the Daily Planet journalists help the superhero go up against the villain. 'They are exposing some truth so that people can get the truth and turn on the person who is actually doing them harm," Bennett said. "It's really cool to see that. I think that could be exciting for younger people who might want to be journalists to be like, 'Wow, they do have this power. They are superheroes.'' Skyler Gisondo, who plays Daily Planet reporter Jimmy Olsen and best friend to Clark Kent, says the scenes in the newsroom felt as high stakes as the action sequences. 'Reading the script, you have a sense that the work that we're doing is just as important as the action itself,' said Gisondo. One real journalist makes a cameo in the film: news correspondent Will Reeve, son of Christopher Reeve, who played Superman in the 1978 film. Reeve said that the message of hope from the early film is one that still reigns true today from his father's legacy. 'The fact that my dad and his character and then his subsequent personal story resonated and perhaps inspired maybe billions of people around the world," Reeve said. "That means a lot to me, and I think that has a lot with what Superman is and represents as a character.' For actor Wendell Pierce, who plays Daily Planet editor-in-chief Perry White, superhero films like Superman are more than just a fun pastime for comic book fans. They bring a sense of optimism in troubled times and a feeling that even the everyday person has the power to create change. ' People want to feel empowered," Pierce said. "They want to feel as though they can make a contribution in some way and change the dynamic to change this dysfunctional paradigm. And so we turn off the lights and go into a small theater because we want to see collectively, decide what our values are and who we are, where we've been, where we've failed, where we can triumph. But ultimately decide what our values are and walk out of the theater and act on those.' ___ Sian Watson in London contributed to this report.

Braless Bianca Censori puts on a shocking display in see-through outfit while husband Kanye West covers up
Bianca Censori put on a cheeky display in a daring ensemble while stepping out by herself in Los Angeles on Wednesday. The 30-year-old wife of Kanye West stunned as she went braless underneath an ultra tight, black top with the sleeves rolled up teamed with a pair of micro shorts. During the outing, she was spotted walking out to a shiny, black sports car with nothing else but her phone and car keys in hand. This comes after the rapper, who now goes by a new moniker, was denied entry to her native Australia to meet her family after his visa was canceled due to his offensive behavior. The model — who reportedly gets paid 'hundreds of thousands' by West every time she steps out in the stunt outfits that he chooses for her — got into the driver's seat by herself before the disgraced musician later joined her, ducking his head as he got into the car. Her bold outfit albeit cheeky was relatively conservative compared to some of her recent looks, such as when she posed in a see-through slip in a raunchy, nearly nude photoshoot with her husband. For her outing with him after returning in southern California, Censori sported knee-high, leather boots with a flip-flop sandal style and a chunky heel. She left her long, jet black hair down with blunt-cut bangs grazing her lashes. Just the day before, the Aussie architect shared another set of jaw-dropping photos from her latest photo shoot with her husband while she has been posting sizzling polaroid images to her Instagram this week. On Tuesday, she gave fans another glimpse at her enviable figure with three more snaps. In one of the photos, which were taken by the rapper, she was pictured on her knees leaning backwards while wearing a sheer tube top and pulling down her stockings with one hand. Another one of the retro style snaps featured her seemingly naked from the side, wearing high heels, with one of her legs extended in the air. A third image showed her in a shaggy blonde wig and straddling the carpet while shooting a seductive glance at the camera with a hand placed in her mouth. 'Shot by @ye,' she captioned all three of the images. The day before, she sent pulses racing while posing braless in a plunging white bodysuit that highlighted her ample cleavage. The brunette beauty — who recently shocked onlookers as she stepped out in candy lingerie — rocked a blonde wig for the occasion, along with white stockings and light pink heels. A day prior, she shared similar images, wearing a strapless see-through nightie draped over a set of white lingerie. During the outing, she was spotted walking out to a shiny, black sports car with nothing else but her phone and car keys in hand Ever since they secretly tied the knot in 2022, Censori has consistently shocked fans with the barely-there ensembles her husband styles for her. It comes amid recent reports that West pays Censori to wear some of her head-turning looks. It is claimed that West chooses her daring looks to not only aid in keeping his 'edgy persona' but to also show that his wife is 'the sexiest woman alive', according to a source who spoke with The U.S. Sun. The source stated that while some of the outfits she wears in public 'aren't to her taste' — she has since learned how to make it an 'advantage.' 'Bianca has figured out how to turn all this into her advantage. A lot of the outfits aren't to her taste. But she tells him she will wear them — if she's paid.' The Heartless rapper had allegedly offered his wife a salary wage to don head-turning ensembles, but she turned that down, and instead requested that she be paid based on each look. The source added that they believe Censori has made around $3 million due to the deal and said, 'She's essentially monetizing her image.' One outfit that she reportedly was paid $120k to wear was the naked dress ensemble at the 2025 Grammy Awards back in February. The latest post comes four days after it emerged West's visa to her native Australia has been canceled. Ever since they secretly tied the knot in 2022, Censori has consistently shocked fans with the barely-there ensembles her husband styles for her. It comes amid recent reports that West pays Censori to wear some of her head-turning looks; pictured February in Los Angeles Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke has revealed that West is being denied entry to the country over his antisemitic song praising Adolf Hitler. The track, titled Heil Hitler, was dropped by the singer on May 8 and was deemed to be 'promoting Nazism'. As a result, officials revised West's 'lower-level' visa and came to the decision that it would be revoked. 'He's been coming to Australia for a long time. He's got family here and he's made a lot of offensive comments that my officials looked at again,' Burke told the ABC. 'Once he released the Heil Hitler song, he no longer has a valid visa in Australia. 'It wasn't a visa for the purpose of concerts. It was a lower-level and the officials still looked at the law and said, you're going to have a song and promote that sort of Nazism, we don't need that in Australia.' West has flown to Australia in the past, and was most recently believed to be planning a trip Down Under to visit the family of his Australian wife.
