Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson romance – all the signs Naked Gun stars are an item
The close bond between Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson has been the topic of conversation around the world as the pair continue to remain silent over whether or not they're in a relationship. But it looks as though the writing was on the wall as far back as last year when the Taken star declared his love for the former Baywatch icon.
In an interview with People magazine, Liam, 73, candidly confessed to being "madly in love" with the mum of two. At the time, he told the publication: "With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her." He added: "She's just terrific to work with. 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." It comes after it emerged Whitney Houston spent her tragic final moments 'feasting on food' with gravy boat in bathtub.

And in response to his comments Pamela, who was formerly a pin up girl following her lengthy stint on nineties TV show Baywatch, claimed that he was "the perfect gentleman".
She added: "He brings out the best in you…with respect, kindness, and depth of experience. It was an absolute honour to work with him."
And while the couple have been careful to only discuss their work life, Pamela let slip their relationship spilled over into their personal life as she even cooked for him.
In May, she revealed: "I also baked my sourdough bread for therapy and regularly shared with him [Liam], along with cookies and muffins." She added that she would leave her sweet treats in his dressing room.
And they also spent time together away from filming. She continued: "We had many dinners out with the cast. I invited him and his assistant over for romantic dinners with me and my assistant so our relationship stayed 'professionally romantic' during filming."
Their chemistry was certainly noticed when attending the premiere of The Naked Gun in both London and Berlin. While at the London premiere, Pamela fuelled speculation of a romance when she planted a kiss on Liam's cheek.
But it was during their promotional tour in Berlin that set tongues wagging even more when they re-created the iconic scene from Titanic.
Taking to social media Pamela and Liam's close bond was clear for all to see as they joked around on a boat. In the video shared with fans, Pamela took on the role of Rose, played by Kate Winslet, while Liam held her by the waist similar to that of Jack played by Leonardo DiCaprio.
Pamela showed off her elegance in a green gown teamed with a matching neck scarf.
She captioned the video saying: "From the London to Berlin… this tour has been full of smiles, laughter, and so much love... Thank you to everyone who came out to giggle with us (and watch on the big screen). NYC next!"

Oasis in 'negotiations' to add more tour dates after hugely successful UK shows
Oasis are said to be in "negotiations" to add an extra date to their hugely successful Live '25 tour, which has seen the band perform a string of shows across the UK As the Oasis dates across the UK are coming to an end, there is a possibility that more may be added. Noel and Liam Gallagher have been entertaining fans across Cardiff, Manchester, and now London with their euphoric Oasis Live '25 tour, 16 years after the band split. The tour was announced last year, almost 15 years to the date of their split, and a move that fans never believed would happen due to the tensions between Liam, 52, and Noel, 58. Ever since Noel walked away, the two siblings have hurled insults at one another across social media and in interviews. But now, those days are firmly in the past with the two brothers walking out on stage each night holding hands, as though there had never been any bad blood. Currently, the band has two more shows at Wembley Stadium before heading to Edinburgh and then over to Dublin to kick off the global leg of the tour, before heading back to Wembley in September. It comes after Cruz Beckham 'steals' his dad's tiny white trunks and family have epic response. One place that isn't on the tour dates, though, is Italy. But this could all change in the coming weeks. The Rome City Councillor for Major Events has suggested that there are currently talks to have the band perform in the capital city, Rome. Alessandro Onorato said: "Oasis in the capital? These are live shows for companies that organise events all over the world, and the financial aspect is crucial. Negotiations are underway." He went on to tell Radio Sei that in the past, Rome had missed out on huge opportunities. He explained: "Organising a large event in Rome is very complicated; in the past, Rome has been the 'city of missed opportunities.'" It's not the first time that Onorato has been vocal about wanting Liam and Noel to perform in the capital. In September last year, days after the reunion was announced, he said: "In 2026, Oasis could take their tour to Europe. And yes, we've applied to host them in Rome." Oasis: What's Their Story? An unofficial celebration magazine on sale now! A few simple words on social media on August 27 in 2024 were enough to spark pandemonium among Oasis fans and were the catalyst for the most eagerly awaited UK gigs of all time. This special unofficial magazine, available to order here, marks the reunion and honours the band both now and down the years with our incredible archive of photos and interviews - and with exclusive reviews and photographs of their first show! The last time Noel and Liam stepped out on stage together in Italy was in 2009, months before they confirmed their split. They played a string of indoor arenas but due to the level of demand for the reunion, it could see any possible shows taking place at the Stadio Olimpico or San Siro. But, in the past, Oasis' manager, Alec McKinlay has said that the current dates are the only ones that the band will be performing. He said in May: "This is very much the last time around, as Noel's made clear in the press. It's a chance for fans who haven't seen the band to see them, or at least for some of them to. "No, there's no plans for any new music." But Liam later hit out at the comments, saying that they came from "the accountant". Replying to a fan on X, formerly known as Twitter, he fumed: "Neither do I and the only people that will be making any kind of decisions on the future of OASIS will be ME n RKID [Noel] so let's just take it one day at a time." Meanwhile, unconfirmed dates have started floating around social media, with rumours suggesting the band will be performing in Madrid, Frankfurt, Budapest, Stockholm and Paris – as well as four dates at Knebworth. The band have previously confirmed though that there will be no performances at Knebworth.

A particular set of skills: how Liam Neeson went from ‘master actor' to deadpan Naked Gun spoofery
Liam Neeson may have gained pop-culture immortality for his gravelly growl of a certain line of dialogue in the 2008 hostage thriller Taken – 'I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills' – but the release of his new film, a reboot of the classic spoof cop movie The Naked Gun represents another remarkable turn in Neeson's distinguished career, which has taken in heavyweight prestige dramas, historical biopics, blockbusting science fiction, superhero epics and head-cracking action cinema. In The Naked Gun, Neeson has for the first time taken the lead role in an out-and-out comedy. He plays Frank Drebin Jr, the police-detective son of Leslie Nielsen's Frank Drebin in the original. Created by the celebrated comedy team of David Zucker, Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker, The Naked Gun was released in 1988, with Nielsen featuring in two sequels, The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear from 1991 and Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult in 1994, as well as the preceding TV series Police Squad!, which aired in 1982. Neeson's intense, unflappable acting style has been acclaimed by critics as a perfect match for Nielsen's celebrated stone-face delivery; the Guardian's chief film critic Peter Bradshaw said that Neeson 'deadpans it impeccably', while the Telegraph's Robbie Collin writes that Neeson 'delivers his dialogue with a gravelly matter-of-factness that only compounds its lunacy'. At the age of 73, Neeson's current status as the star of a hit mainstream comedy – augmented by rumours of a romance with his co-star Pamela Anderson – is a world away from his emergence as a bona fide leading man in the early 1990s, when he put his teenage proficiency in boxing to good use in the Scotland-set drama The Big Man, bagged an Oscar nomination for playing Oskar Schindler in Schindler's List, and nobly donned plaid, kilt and sporran as 18th century highlander Rob Roy. Neeson's ability to project a weighty sense of gravitas in these wildly differing roles was compounded by his casting as Irish revolutionary leader Michael Collins, in Neil Jordan's 1996 biopic, the most politically sensitive – and closest to home – of his early leading roles. Born in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, Neeson was raised Catholic but later said he was, ironically, inspired to become an actor after watching the firebrand Protestant leader Rev Ian Paisley preach, saying: 'It was incredible to watch this 6ft-plus man just bible-thumping away.' Neeson's career took its first unexpected deviation in the late 1990s when he was cast as Jedi master Qui-Gon Jinn in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, George Lucas's return to the Star Wars universe in 1999, with Lucas describing Neeson as 'a master actor, who the other actors will look up to'. This excursion into fantasy-blockbuster moviemaking was cemented with a role as principal antagonist Ra's al Ghul in Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins in 2005, and lending his voice to Aslan the lion in the three Narnia films from the same period: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Neeson's standing in the industry also allowed him to take smaller roles in landmark films in the same period, including Gangs of New York and Love Actually. He had, however, lost his leading-man status in Hollywood, and it was the success of Taken – a French production, written by Luc Besson and directed by Pierre Morel – that returned him to the spotlight. Neeson later said he was 'stunned' by its impact, adding: 'I really thought it would be kind of a little side road from my so-called career. Really thought it would go straight to video.' Taken's box office receipts amounted to nine times its $25m (£19m) budget and virtually inaugurated the 'dad action' movie, thrillers featuring leads in late middle age; it is also the film with which Neeson is arguably now most identified with. Neeson went on to make a string of dad action films, including Unknown, Non-Stop, The Ice Road and Retribution. Neeson's reinvention as an action star coincided with a period of personal tragedy, after the death of his wife, Natasha Richardson, in a skiing accident in 2009. The pair had met in 1993 while co-starring in a Broadway production of Eugene O'Neill's play Anna Christie, and married a year later. Neeson later said that grief over her death was partly responsible for his withdrawing from the lead role in Steven Spielberg's biopic of Abraham Lincoln, released in 2012, in which he was replaced by Daniel Day-Lewis. More recently Neeson was heavily criticised, and subsequently apologised, for saying that, in his youth, he had gone out looking to 'kill' a random black man in revenge for a sexual assault on a friend. Neeson had mentioned the incident in 2019 during the press tour for another action film, Cold Pursuit, later saying: 'The horror of what happened to my friend ignited irrational thoughts that do not represent the person I am. In trying to explain those feelings today, I missed the point and hurt many people.' Neeson's career, however, appears to have been relatively unaffected by the controversy, as well as his comment in 2018 that the recent wave of sexual misconduct allegations in the entertainment industry was 'bit of a witch-hunt'. With The Naked Gun commanding significant media attention – as much for speculation on Neeson's personal life as for the film itself – the actor's stock is as high as it has ever been.

Liam Neeson's Naked Gun reboot 'so dense with jokes and gags' audiences scramble to keep up
The Naked Gun film has been rebooted with Liam Neeson in the lead role. Prior to its launch, the Naked Gun remake faced enormous expectations given that the original featuring Leslie Nielsen had achieved cult status worldwide. However, it appears Liam Neeson, who portrays Frank Drebin Jnr on a quest to crack a murder case and prevent his police department's closure, has smashed it out the park. Directed and co-written by Akiva Schaffer, also known for being one third of The Lonely Island, the new film has opened to high praise, from film critics on Rotten Tomatoes, successfully delivering "deadpan buffoonery" whilst weaving in a compelling storyline. One reviewer commented: "Director Akiva Schaffer and his co-writers, Dan Gregor and Doug Mand, get to the heart of the humor in a non-ironic, non-revisionist fashion." A New York Times correspondent wrote: "As the movie continues, though, [Neeson] adds emotional texture to the character and another, somewhat similar yet also different-enough Frank Drebin emerges." Meanwhile, another Times reviewer noted: "See it with an audience, and experience the rare and wonderful pleasure of a crowd scrambling to keep up with one of the stupidest films it's ever seen." A fourth commentator observed: "So dense with jokes, gags and references to noir tropes and cop shows that it is impossible to clock them all on a single viewing." Meanwhile a fourth person added: "Reviving a cult classic like The Naked Gun is a bit like bringing slapstick to a funeral - gutsy, awkward, and, when done right, oddly cathartic. Director Schaffer attempts just that, blending puns, parodies, and pop culture into a screwball cocktail... ". And it appears the critics' views are shared by the Quaid army too. One fan declared: "A funny movie that delivered what was advertised!" A second enthused: "loved this film. Silly and refreshing. Liam and Pam are awesome together." Whilst a third commented: "If you a fan of the originals will enjoy this. Classic Naked Gun humor gotta always be paying attention." Beyond the movie's triumph, another hot topic amongst viewers has been the spark between Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson. Speaking to People magazine, Liam, 73, openly admitted to being "madly in love" with the mother of two. He revealed to the publication: "With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her."
