Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson fuel romance rumors with Titanic moment
Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson have fuelled dating rumors after the two Hollywood stars recreated an iconic Titanic scene at the premiere of their latest movie, Naked Gun. Both actors attended the UCI Luxe East Side Gallery on Thursday for the latest screening on their press tour for the movie. In the upcoming Naked Gun, the crime spoof comedy sees Anderson playing Beth and Neeson in the role of Frank Drebin Jr. Heading down the same path as his father, Detective Frank Drebin Jr. now has to solve a murder case to stop the police department from shutting down. The on-screen chemistry between Anderson, 58, and Neeson, 73, as well as how comfortable they seem around each other off-camera, has led to speculation that they're an item. A pic that the former Baywatch star posted on Instagram of them posing together around a boat further fuelled rumors. As did the video she shared of her and Liam redoing a famous scene from the 1997 beloved romance flick Titanic, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson in Berlin (Image: IMAGO / Avalon) She portrayed Winslet's character Rose, and let her "Jack," aka Neeson, pretend to be her love interest and hold her her waist, just like DiCaprio did in Titanic. "From 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!" she wrote in the caption. Additionally, on Tuesday, the pair were quite handsy during their premiere carpet premiere in London. On the red carpet earlier this week, they got chummy with each other as the former Playboy bunny planted a soft kiss on Liam's cheek while they posed for the cameras. Red carpet appearances and cutesy Instagram posts aren't the only things fuelling rumours about the actors' relationship. Neeson jokingly saying that his favorite part of making the movie was filming "the sex scenes" with his co-star also strengthened the gossip. According to The Sun, he and Anderson were provided with an intimacy coordinator on set. "I'd never had one before. But she was in the background. There was no kind of, 'OK! Excuse me!'" Neeson said. Also, Anderson confessed that the intimacy coordinator knew when to walk away, and joked that the coordinator had actually stormed off. She claimed that the coordinator had walked away, throwing up her hands in the air, "'I can't take this! This is too hot for me. I'm going for coffee.'"

This restaurant within a sleek Claremont development reinterprets Mediterranean cooking for the western suburbs set
Not every dish sticks its landing, however. The pasta dough in the UFO-like tortelli filled with roasted pumpkin was too thick for purpose. Striploin steak had little of the char, crust or smoke that one hopes to enjoy on cow grilled over charcoal. Soggy, under-salted chips make baby Jesus cry. Every kitchen has off nights, sure, but when you're talking about a restaurant spruiking mains north of $40, these misfires can jar, especially when the dining room isn't especially busy. Service can also waver. One moment, dapper waiters will materialise tableside offering, unprompted, a taste of a wine that they think you'll enjoy. (They're right!) Another, they'll become oddly defensive when you ask whether the beef Wellington is a single slice cut from a bigger portion or a smaller, individual pastry for one: all fair questions, I think, when considering dropping $73 on your dinner. While I personally reckon Avalon would be a more compelling prospect if the food leaned harder into Tsimpidis' Greek heritage, I accept that such a narrow focus mightn't work for what is essentially an upmarket neighbourhood restaurant servicing some of Perth's most desirable postcodes. Still, the menu feels big and tricky to navigate. Could trimming the carte improve things for guests and the kitchen alike, I wonder? But perhaps sharply composed plates gleaned from the Mediterranean nations and served in a fancy room is precisely what well-heeled locals want. While some of us yearn for meals to tide us over until that next Japanese holiday, others crave edible postcards that conjure sunny memories of July getaways to Nice, Santorini, Positano and the like. (And should they happen to share an address with the restaurant and live in the apartments above, even better.)
