Why is Pamela Anderson being grabbed by a polyester-clad, dispeptic-looking man? Unhand her, sir! That was our first reaction (our second was, watch your hands, dude). But then we found out that Mr Dispepto was probably just trying to protect a mobbed Pamela at Mumbai aiport as she landed in India. Seems Pamela is now part of the cast of the Indian version of Big Brother, called Bigg Boss. We’re just going to repeat this: Pamela Anderson is starring in an Indian television show. Where everyone’s instructed to speak in the national language, Hindi. Which Pamela doesn’t speak.

Altogether now: What.the.Frack?

Apparently Pamela delighted and amazed the Bigg Boss housemates (all Indian actors, actresses and politicians) by turning up dressed in a white sari and a sari blouse that could pass off as a bra. They’ll have to soak in as much of Pammy’s “stardom” as they can because she’s only going to be in the house till Friday. She’ll then jet back to her “normal” life where nobody cares.
