SEXY PAMELA ANDERSON SELLS HER CAR AND ANNA NICOLE’S LINGERIE GOES UNDER AUCTION HAMMER
Blonde bombshell Pamela Anderson sold her 2000 model year 190 mph Dodge Viper sports car for $60,000 to an adoring fan at a Planet Hollywood Resort celebrity auction and promptly donated the funds to her PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) charity.
Larry Birkhead, the father of Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter, DannieLynn was in the crowd bidding on her memorabilia. Also there watching the action was TV’s Incredible Hulk actor Lou Ferrigno and veteran actress Margaret O’Brien who watched the sale of her actual blue and white checked smock dress she wore in the 1944 movie Meet Me in St. Louis.
Pamela admitted, “I’m a terrible driver, I shouldn’t be driving fast cars anyway. I just don’t like them. I once crashed a Ferrari when my high heel got stuck under the gas pedal! I maybe more woman than car, but this Viper was still more car than I could handle. I loved the color because it matches my nipple ring and I did use my body and a sponge to suds it clean so it’s well worth the money and it goes to a great cause. I love working with PETA. I went to them and said I was sick of talking about my boobs and my boyfriends and asked them to give me something serious to talk about.”
Eleven-thousand bidders in 92 countries watched the Julien’s celebrity memorabilia auction from Planet Hollywood Resort via auctionnetwork.com on the Internet. Planet Hollywood Reosort head-honcho Robert Earl escorted Pamela to his hotel’s mezzanine where bidders and fans waited for her. TV cameras from her new reality show filmed the action for a segment of her fall shows. She went up on stage to join the auctioneer and oversee the bidding. She took off her low-slung cardigan wrap and waved it over her head to encourage bidding. She even gestured she would take off her white shirt burlesque style if bidding reached up to $100,000! But it stopped at the winning $60,000 twice the price of the low-end original estimate.
“I’m very happy with my life at this moment,” said Pamela referring to her recent official divorce from third husband Rick Salomon and her resumed reunion with first husband, Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee. They have two young sons from that marriage. “I’m selling everything and hopefully a lot of it will benefit PETA’s work.”
Anna Nicole’s former lover wound up spending $3,000 to buy the late Playboy beauty’s lingerie as a future keepsake for their now one-year-old daughter, DannieLynn. He made it “a clean sweep” buying four of her worn under-mentionables that she’d posed in for her May 1996 Playboy pictorials. After he won the pink bustier and white negligee from a centerfold layout he jumped right on his seat punching his fists for the victory! He explained that he wants to put together as many pieces of Anna Nicole’s life story so their daughter has something to remember her by. Anna Nicole died from a prescription drug overdose at the age of 39 in February of last year. “Playboy was a big part of Anna Nicole’s life and I have a lot of history to give to DanieLynn when she’s old enough,” he said.
Larry spent $1,000 for an ivory laceup bustier and, $1,800 for a pink bustier and black demi bra, and $275 for a signed $359 check she’d made out in 1993 for her telephone bill when she was plain Vickie Lynn Smith.
Memorabilia and collectibles from Elvis Presley to Frank Sinatra, from Marilyn Monroe to Clark Gable were also sold at the auction.
