Pamela Anderson Repeats Claim Sylvester Stallone Offered Her Condo, Porsche To Date Him
Last Updated: Appearing on Watch What Happens Live on Sunday, the Baywatch icon stood by her story, originally shared in her 2023 Netflix documentary, Pamela, a Love Story. Pamela Anderson has once again addressed her explosive claim that Sylvester Stallone once offered her a Porsche and a condo in exchange for being his 'No. 1 girl." Appearing on Watch What Happens Live on Sunday, the Baywatch icon stood by her story, originally shared in her 2023 Netflix documentary, Pamela, a Love Story. Host Andy Cohen brought up Stallone's denial of the incident, asking Anderson, 'What do you think about him denying it?" To this, the 58-year-old actress simply replied, 'Well, how could you make that up? That was pretty specific." Cohen then lightened the moment by asking if a different car might have swayed her. 'Maybe like a Shelby Cobra or something?" he joked. Anderson laughed and replied, 'No, no, no, no, no." In Pamela, a Love Story, the actress had claimed, 'I remember talking to Sylvester Stallone one time and he offered me a condo and a Porsche to be his No. 1 girl. And I was like, 'Does that mean there's a No. 2? Uh-uh.' He goes, 'That's the best offer you're gonna get, honey. You're in Hollywood now.'" She added in the film, 'I wanted to really be in love. I didn't want anything less than that." Shortly after the documentary aired, a representative for Stallone denied the story in a statement to PEOPLE, calling Anderson's remarks 'false and fabricated." 'Mr. Stallone confirms that he never made any portion of that statement," the rep asserted. Meanwhile, both stars have moved on in their personal lives. Stallone has been married to model Jennifer Flavin since 1997. Anderson, meanwhile, has sparked romance rumors with her Naked Gun co-star Liam Neeson. Cohen even teased their budding romance on the show, saying, 'All of your friends are very much stanning this relationship, as the kids say."

Not a singer or an actress, but this superstar's granddaughter became a tarot reader, she once trained with Shah Rukh Khan, her name is...
In a world where legacy often writes your path, Vrinda Ganguly chose to break away. While her grandfather Kishore Kumar ruled Bollywood's golden era with hits in both acting and singing, and her father Amit Kumar carried forward the family's musical heritage, Vrinda walked off the stage — quite literally. She's not a playback singer, not an actress, and doesn't chase the spotlight. She reads energies instead — as a tarot card expert and spiritual mentor. And no, this wasn't a fallback career. It was a conscious choice. What was her connection to Bollywood? Vrinda's Bollywood link isn't just by blood. She trained at Barry John's acting studio — the same place that gave India Shah Rukh Khan. Technically, that makes her SRK's junior. But the arc shifted. In 2017, she decided she didn't want the screen. She wanted silence, intuition, and a space far removed from film sets. So what does she do now? Today, Vrinda Ganguly runs her own YouTube channel — VriEvolution . With a modest but growing base of subscribers, she shares tarot insights, spiritual guidance, and healing practices. Her presence spills onto Instagram and Facebook, where her aura speaks louder than legacy. And no — she isn't hidden in robes or clichés. Friends say she looks no less than any actress, but that isn't her calling. Tarot is. What about her family? Vrinda is the elder daughter of Amit Kumar. While her younger sister Muktika chose music, Vrinda took a path the family never expected — yet fully embraced. She's Kishore Kumar's granddaughter, but more importantly, she's her own person. In a world chasing fame, she chose inner fire. While most star kids run toward the arc lights, Vrinda turned inward. And maybe that's what makes her story quietly iconic — in a way Kishore Kumar would've probably smiled at.
