Pamela Anderson Wears Over 20 Carats in Diamonds in a Rare Outing With Her Sons
Pamela Anderson wore a custom Thom Browne navy gown to the New York premiere of The Naked Gun on July 28.
She paired the simple column dress with around 20 carats in Pandora diamonds.
She also rewore a diamond brooch previously worn by her son to the Met Gala.Pamela Anderson is firmly in her elegant Hollywood star era. From her understated no makeup-makeup looks to her timeless, bouncy old Hollywood bob to her heavenly gowns, every recent red carpet appearance has been a masterclass in taste and style. Her latest looks is another example.
For the July 28 premiere of her upcoming comedy action film The Naked Gun, Anderson was joined by her sons Brandon Thomas and Dylan Jagger Lee. She looked every inch the glamorous leading lady in a timeless midnight navy satin column dress with a sweeping boatneck—a custom creation by Thom Browne. She paired the dress with sheer netted lace gloves and a few pieces of megawatt jewelry—roughly 20 carats in Pandora diamonds to be precise.
In a sweet, sentimental nod to her son Brandon, she also rewore the diamond brooch that he wore at this year's Met Gala while accompanying his mother.
Anderson completed her look with a soft side-parted bob styled in swooping waves and her signature barely-there makeup.
Anderson's look is only the latest in her streak of chic red carpet ensembles that spare no expense when it comes to the accessories. Just take her recent forest green plissé peplum gown, which she paired with $20,000 worth of diamonds, her simple purple gown paired with 15 carats of diamonds, or her magical silver-blue gown that she once again paired with diamond earrings.
As Anderson recently told us at InStyle, a well put-together look gives her the confidence to rock the red carpet. 'I'm actually quite shy—I'm okay if I'm on a stage—but I'm really shy, and I'm trying to get better at that,' she said. 'It's been a journey, but if you're wearing great clothes, that's a good first [step] that builds your confidence.'

I liked the Naked Gun reboot, but the original movie is still better
Having premiered in theaters to near universal praise, Liam Neeson's The Naked Gun has met many people's expectations as a reboot of Leslie Nielsen's iconic comedy film franchise of the same name. In true Naked Gun fashion, the new movie sees Neeson playing the buffoonish Frank Drebin This legacy sequel effectively replicates many of the elements that made the first Naked Gun movie so funny and beloved. Nevertheless, the film that started the entire franchise still retains some key qualities lacking in the reboot, still making it the best Naked Gun movie ever made. The level of comedy in the reboot still falls behind the original 2025's The Naked Gun thrives thanks to the leadership of two of modern comedy's brightest minds, director Akiva Schaffer (Saturday Night Live) and producer Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy). Thanks to them, the new Naked Gun provides viewers with a large, steady supply of clever comedy. The movie even revitalizes many of the original's best running gags (i.e., Frank's comedic voice-overs, his bad driving, and the characters misunderstanding each other's dialogue). Recommended Videos However, the original Naked Gun film is packed with even more hilarious surprises and jokes. There were some bits of comedy in the reboot that seemed a little too drawn out. There were also times where another joke could've been squeezed in. The classic opening credits sequence is (mostly) missing In its first few minutes, the new Naked Gun film broke a beloved tradition of the franchise by not featuring a new version of its classic opening credits sequence. The first three Naked Gun movies would open with a police car driving through the city and all sorts of bizarre settings, including a roller coaster, a water slide, a women's locker room, and even a T-Rex pen at Jurassic Park. This gag has become one of the most popular trademarks of the franchise, so it seemed like the reboot would've kept it going. Though the reboot does reuse the first film's opening credits sequence at the end, it doesn't add anything new to this running gag. It seems to appear there only to invoke the audience's nostalgia. Overall, it seems like the reboot missed the opportunity to create some incredible new laughs by bringing back this iconic gag. At least we still have Stewie's homage to this sequence in Family Guy. The first Naked Gun film has no age The Naked Gun reboot sets itself apart from previous films by having its story take place in 2020s America. It's tailored for a specific era, given the inclusion of the Internet and electric cars in the narrative. While the original Naked Gun is set in the 1980s, there is a timeless aura to its story and humor that still appeals to modern audiences. The story hardly feels old-fashioned, and the jokes haven't aged a day. Though the world's opinion of star O.J. Simpson has changed a lot, it's even more hilarious and enjoyable to see him getting hurt left and right as Officer Nordberg. The reboot is missing the iconic original score Nothing beats composer Ira Newborn's musical score for the 1988 film. Whenever one hears the trumpets and saxophone play in the film's music, they would immediately know they were listening to the sounds of the original Naked Gun. Meanwhile, the reboot doesn't draw from the franchise's iconic score until the end credits start to roll. Though this also helps the new film distinguish itself from its predecessor, the score ends up being far less memorable. On the plus side, Neeson does record a hilarious, rambling love song to Pamela Anderson's character, which audiences can hear during the credits. Nielsen still surpasses Neeson as Frank Drebin Liam Neeson did a fantastic job playing the role of Frank Drebin's son in the Naked Gun reboot. The actor gives a hysterical performance thanks to his deadpan delivery and his character's dimwitted antics, which successfully invoke Nielsen's own character from the original Naked Gun movies. However, Nielsen still carries an 'everyman' aura that makes his character even more hilarious and compelling. Neeson is well known for portraying vengeful, ultraviolent action heroes in movies like Taken, and that persona shines through in his performance as Frank Drebin Jr. In the end, Schaffer and MacFarlane's The Naked Gun did a fine job forging its own identity as a comedy film while living up to its predecessors. The reboot features an excellent brand of comedy and quick wit that should appeal to veteran Naked Gun fans, as well as newcomers to the franchise. The movie doesn't reach the high caliber of the first Naked Gun, but it still sets a very good example for the franchise going forward.

Joan Anderson, who brought the hula hoop to the U.S. and named it, dies at 101
Joan Anderson, the woman who introduced the hula hoop to the United States and gave it its iconic name, died last month at age 101. Anderson's daughter, Loralyn Willis, confirmed her death to NBC News on Friday and said her mother passed away on July 14 at a nursing home in Carlsbad, California. Anderson's story was largely unknown until the 2018 documentary 'Hula Girl,' which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. Filmmakers Chris Riess and Amy Hill brought her story to light after Hill's mother overheard it in a restaurant. Born Joan Constance Manning on Dec. 28, 1923, in Sydney, Australia, she met her husband, U.S. pilot Wayne Anderson, at Bondi Beach in 1946. They married four months later, moved to the U.S. and eventually settled in Hollywood, where Joan worked as a model, according to a biography on a website for 'Hula Girl.' After visiting family in Australia in the 1950s, Anderson noticed a toy hoop craze sweeping the country. Curious, she asked her mother to send her one. When it arrived, even the deliveryman questioned why it had come so far. According to the documentary, Joan and Wayne played with it for months before showing it to friends. At a dinner party, someone commented that it looked like doing the hula, to which Joan replied, 'There's the name — hula hoop.' The couple introduced the hoop to Arthur 'Spud' Melin, the co-founder of Wham-O. The meeting was informal — no paperwork, just a handshake, according to Anderson. 'We were very naive,' Anderson said in 'Hula Girl.' Wham-O went on to make millions. The Andersons sued and settled in 1961 for under $6,000 after legal fees. 'They never acknowledged who gave them the hula hoop,' Anderson said in the film. 'I think that bugged me more than anything. That's about the biggest lie I've ever heard.' Despite the outcome, Anderson and her husband used the settlement money to start a successful manufacturing business. 'We let it go and just went on with our lives.' Anderson said in 'Hula Girl.' 'Why be angry with something you can't change.' Hill, the filmmaker who co-directed 'Hula Girl,' said Anderson's story resonated far beyond the toy's origin. 'We use the word 'revenge' because she says that in the film,' Hill said, referring to a moment in the film when Anderson said happiness is the best revenge. 'But it's more than that. It's just a life well lived. It's living your best life in spite of a setback.' Anderson is survived by her daughter, two sons and six grandchildren.
