Nobody saw this one coming: Pamela Anderson and hubby Kid Rock (aka Bob Ritchie) announced their separation. The couple threw a trash-tastic wedding aboard a yacht in Saint Tropez last summer, then spent a stunning four months together before they had enough. Although it was safe to assume the couple split because she flashed her tit-tays all over town and got sick of watching NASCAR, that was not the case. Sources claimed the couple split over America's favorite Kazakh journalist, Borat.
The hugely popular film shows Sasha Baron Cohen_in character as Borat Sagdiyev_falling in love with Anderson after seeing her in a "Baywatch" rerun, then driving across America in order to propose marriage to her.
A friend of the couple said Anderson couldn't stand Kid's "male insecurity and major anger issues." The issue erupted two weeks ago while the couple attended a screening of Anderson's new film Borat at Universal Studio exec Ron Meyer's Beverly Hills house.
Her friend tells Page Six, "Bob started screaming at Pam, saying she had humiliated herself and telling her, 'You're nothing but a whore! You're a slut! How could you do that movie?'_ in front of everyone. It was very embarrassing.
"Pam thought he could have a sense of humor about the movie. She was in on the gag from the very beginning and loved doing the movie. And on the eve of what was supposed to be a very positive thing, he made it an awful night.
"Ever since that night, it has been icicles between them," the friend relates. "Bob is just a very unhappy and angry man. Pam is very disenchanted and sad. You know, there are reasons why she never married him before. Those reasons disappeared while they were together on a boat in St. Tropez, but she knows now that they never went away. The reality is he is an insecure, angry man."
Neither Pam's nor Kid Rock's reps commented on the details of the split, but no one really cares what they have to say. We're patiently waiting for Borat's take on the situation.
Good thing we'll never run out of sickly white-trash rock stars for her to marry. And Borat was a fantastic film. I haven't laughed that hard at a movie in a very long time.
Plastic seen-better-days models and White-Trash-and-lovin'-it musicians isn't a good combo to start with. Add to that Pams stupid PETA shit and you know it wasn't gonna last.
Of all the shit Baywatchee has done, taped sex, playboy, degrading public displays of various kinds, and just being on baywatch and that show about the bookstore, he picks the one movie where she has all of her clothes on to get pissed off about?!
And he seemed like he would be such a thoughtful, reasonable guy.
