Fans Applaud Liam Neeson's Response to Pamela Anderson Romance Rumors
Liam Neeson had a gentlemanly yet witty way to respond to the dating rumors with his The Naked Gun co-star Pamela Anderson.
With the back-to-back promotional activities for the upcoming movie, the public couldn't help but witness the undeniable chemistry between the two actors.
To set the record straight, the veteran actor dished on the truth behind the swirling romance rumors that had fans buzzing.
During the co-stars' appearance on the Today Show, host Craig Melvin asked them a bold question about their off-screen connection.
"There's clearly chemistry on display throughout this film. Are you two an item?" he wondered, to which the actress quickly replied, 'What? I don't understand the question,' signaling a mix of surprise and playful deflection.
Interestingly, it was Neeson who delivered a lighthearted yet telling response.
"I had never met Pamela before, we met on set and we have a lovely budding chemistry as two actors," he said, adding, 'And it was like, 'Oh this is nice , let's not mould this, let's just let it breathe' and that's what we did."
Following his statement, the host clarified the buzz surrounding the duo.
'So that's what we're doing now, we're watching the beginning of a breathing of a budding relationship," he remarked.
However, as the topic concluded, the Academy Award nominee made a playful gesture with his hands, hinting that he was stirring the pot and sparking some intrigue.
Interestingly, the Taken star's cheeky answer left fans both curious and amused about how the actor responded to it.
'I love how he just rescued her from the question,' one wrote.
'I love his answer, her smile... she's blushing and so is he... this is so cute. OMGGGG,' a follower said.
The same goes for a commenter who noted, 'Not gonna lie. Obsessed with these two. Also, what a sweet way to describe it.'
Fans continue to praise the 73-year-old star for his honest and friendly approach to addressing the rumors.
'He's such a gentleman. Hope they're both happy,' a social media user commented.
'Not gonna lie. Obsessed with these two. Also, what a sweet way to describe their relationship without the pretense of awkwardness and denial,' another fan added.
An online fan expressed the same and said, 'Very nice way he responded. Basically, they discovered they have chemistry, so just taking it slow. That's great. Just enjoy for now and what happens next happens. Beautiful together!'
The pair headlines the highly anticipated movie, arriving more than 30 years after the original franchise first premiered.
Set to hit theaters on August 1, Neeson takes on the role of Frank Drebin Jr., the son of Detective Sergeant Frank Drebin. He followed in his father's footsteps by joining the police squad, where he met Beth Davenport, played by Anderson. She is driven by a quest for justice after her brother's murder.Fans Applaud Liam Neeson's Response to Pamela Anderson Romance Rumors first appeared on Parade on Jul 30, 2025

Sean ‘Diddy' Combs denied release from jail to await sentencing
Sean 'Diddy' Combs cannot go home from jail to await sentencing on his prostitution-related conviction, a judge said on Monday, denying the rap and style mogul's latest bid for bail. Combs has been behind bars since his September arrest. He faced federal charges of coercing girlfriends into having drug-fuelled sex marathons with male sex workers while he watched and filmed them. He was acquitted last month of the top charges – racketeering and sex trafficking – while being convicted of two counts of a prostitution-related offence. The conviction carries the potential for up to 10 years in prison. But there are complicated federal guidelines for calculating sentences in any given case, and prosecutors and Combs' lawyers disagree substantially on how the guidelines come out for his case. The guidelines are not mandatory, and Judge Arun Subramanian will have wide latitude in deciding Combs' punishment. The Bad Boy Records founder, now 55, was for decades a huge figure in pop culture. A Grammy-winning hip hop artist and entrepreneur with a flair for finding and launching big talents, he presided over a business empire that ranged from fashion to reality TV. Prosecutors claimed he used his fame, wealth and violence to force and manipulate two now-ex-girlfriends into days-long, drugged-up sexual performances he called 'freak-offs' or 'hotel nights'. His lawyers argued that the government tried to criminalise consensual, if unconventional, sexual tastes that played out in complicated relationships. The defence acknowledged that Combs had violent outbursts but said nothing he did came amounted to the crimes with which he was charged. Since the verdict, his lawyers have repeatedly renewed their efforts to get him out on bail until his sentencing, set for October. They have argued that the acquittals undercut the rationale for holding him, and they have pointed to other people who were released before sentencing on similar convictions. Defence lawyer Marc Agnifilo suggested in a court filing that Combs was the United States' 'only person in jail for hiring adult male escorts for him and his girlfriend'. The defence's most recent proposal included a 50 million-dollar (£37.6 million) bond and travel restrictions and expressed openness to adding on house arrest at his Miami home, electronic monitoring, private security guards and other requirements. Prosecutors opposed releasing Combs. They wrote that his 'extensive history of violence — and his continued attempt to minimise his recent violent conduct – demonstrates his dangerousness and that he is not amendable to supervision'.

Sean Combs Denied Bail for Second Time
Sean 'Diddy' Combs lost his second bid to be released from jail after a judge ruled Monday the hip-hop mogul failed to prove he wasn't a flight risk or a danger to the community. 'Increasing the amount of the bond or devising additional conditions doesn't change the calculus given the circumstances and heavy burden of proof that Combs bears,' Judge Arun Subramanian ruled Monday. '('At trial, the defense conceded the defendant's violence in his personal relationships. . . . This type of violence, which happens behind closed doors . . . is impossible to police with conditions.'). On this basis alone, Combs' application is denied.' More from Rolling Stone Soulja Boy Arrested on Weapons Charge During Traffic Stop in Los Angeles Trump Says Sean Combs Pardon Is 'More Difficult to Do' Since Combs Was 'Hostile' to Him Tory Lanez Ordered to Pay Megan Thee Stallion's Legal Fees For 'Disruptive' Deposition The 55-year-old has been trying to secure his release from Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) since last month, when a New York jury acquitted him on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. Although the Bad Boy founder was cleared of charges that could have seen him facing up to life in prison, Combs was found guilty on two lesser counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, resulting in his continued detention until his sentencing on Oct. 3. Combs' attorneys argued the father-of-seven should be with his family in the interim. Last week, they renewed their request for bail, saying there were exceptional conditions for his release. In a kitchen sink-style approach, his defense team offered a $50 million bail package, raised issues about unfit conditions at MDC, and argued against the Mann Act statute he was charged with. In a separate motion, they asked the judge to set aside Combs' conviction or be retried on the prostitution charges alone. But Subramanian rejected all of these arguments. 'While Combs may contend at sentencing that this evidence should be discounted and that what happened was nothing more than a case of willing 'swingers' utilizing the voluntary services of escorts for their mutual pleasure, the Government takes the opposite view: that Cassie Ventura and Jane were beaten, coerced, threatened, lied to, and victimized by Combs as part of their participation in these events,' Subramanian wrote. 'That makes this case unlike any of the cases Combs points to and places it outside the narrow exception to detention that Congress otherwise deemed mandatory.' Subramanian also noted that Combs' attorneys have admitted that MDC officials have kept 'him safe and attend[ed] to his needs, even during an incident of threatened violence from an inmate.' (Rolling Stone has reached out Combs' representatives for more information on the incident.) Over the weekend before the judge's ruling, Combs' attorneys reemphasized their bid for bail and tried to reassure the judge's initial concern about Combs' longstanding history of violence. Apart from a lone, isolated incident with his ex-girlfriend 'Jane' in June 2024, Combs' attorneys claimed he has not been violent with anyone following the end of his relationship with Ventura in 2018. But prosecutors rebutted that assertion in a response last week, listing specifics on why the claim was 'simply not true' in a redacted paragraph. It wasn't clear precisely what alleged incidents prosecutors were referring to in their letter. Still, it appeared it pertained to Combs' ex-girlfriend, Gina Huynh, who over the weekend submitted a letter to the judge to advocate for Combs' release. Although Huynh was not called as a witness by the government, she played a significant role in Combs' eight-week trial. Initially, it was believed Huynh — who has been in an on-off relationship with Combs since 2014 and was referred to as Victim-3 in the indictment — would be called to testify. However, weeks before the trial, prosecutors admitted they were having trouble getting in touch with Huynh, ultimately conceding that she was 'out' of the trial. Still, Huynh's name continually popped up during the course of witness testimony. Both Ventura and Jane acknowledged Combs' not-so-secret dalliance with Huynh, saying it caused problems in their respective relationships. There were accusations that Combs was also violent with Huynh. Combs' assistant, George Kaplan, said he once saw Combs hurling decorative apples at Huynh. And in October 2015, Combs' former head of security warned Combs that he could go to jail if word leaked about an apparent violent incident between the pair. Even before Combs' criminal trial, Huynh herself alleged that Combs had been violent with her, allegedly shoving her to the ground, dragging her by the hair, and stomping on her stomach during a fight in 2018. But Huynh's letter to the judge didn't touch on any specifics of her previous claims, only acknowledging that they 'experienced ups and downs.' 'Mistakes were made, but he was willing to acknowledge his mistakes and make better decisions in the future,' Huynh wrote. 'Over the years that followed, he made visible efforts to become a better person and to address the harm he had caused. By the time our relationship ended, he embodied an energy of love, patience and gentleness that was markedly different from his past behavior. To my knowledge, he has not been violent for many years, and he has been committed to being a father first.' The judge's decision comes on the heels of Combs using his high-powered defense team and influential connections to try and put his criminal trial behind him. He is hoping for a minimum sentence, no more than 27 months with credit for the 11 months that he's already served. (Prosecutors claim Combs should face at least 51 months behind bars, per sentencing guidelines.) That's if Combs serves any more time at all. His team is exploring all options, including appeals and even a presidential pardon. Last week, Rolling Stone reported that Combs' allies have ramped up their efforts in lobbying President Trump for a pardon, feeling emboldened by his partial acquittal. Members of Combs' camp have approached people close to the Trump administration and floated paying large sums of money if they agreed to help with a potential Trump pardon, according to three sources familiar with the discussions.
