Pamela Anderson gets flirty with new beau Liam Neeson as he feeds her popcorn during new promo
In it, the 58-year-old Baywatch star beamed with delight as she rested her head on the 73-year-old actor's shoulder, and he kissed her head.
Liam also dropped popcorn directly into Pamela's mouth in yet another show of candid intimacy.
The flirty spot, titled: 'This could be us but you playing...', came three days after the coy couple shared the same $22 tube of 'Basic' lip balm from her company Sonsie Skin while appearing on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live.
Host Andy Cohen said: 'The question that I'm not asking the two of you tonight is what's going on between the two of you.
'But I do just want to say as a very old friend of [Neeson's]. All of your friends are very much stanning this relationship, as the kids say,' to which Pamela beamed: 'Awww.'
The 57-year-old Bravo exec then addressed the Northern Irishman's son Daniel Jack Neeson, who was seated in the 'Oprah' chair of the studio audience: 'Right, Danny?'
The 28-year-old smiled and agreed: 'Yeah.'
Andy has previously stated he believed Liam might be ready for love again after losing his wife of 15 years, Natasha Richardson, to traumatic brain injury she suffered in a 2009 skiing accident.
Last Friday, the late British actress' sister Joely Richardson reacted to their surprising romance by commenting on the 15-time Playboy cover girl's Instagram post.
The British 60-year-old showed her approval by posting seven red heart emojis.
Cohen also asked Anderson and Neeson what they found 'sweetest' about each other.
Pamela gushed: 'He's so kind and generous.'
Meanwhile, Liam- who admitted he loves Pamela's homebaked sourdough bread - answered 'her spirit' before adding that 'she's a giggler like me, and I love that.'
When Andy asked Anderson if she had seen Liam chop wood before, she replied: 'No but I bought him an axe. I sent him an axe...That's what I was hoping for! It's a hint.'
Liam and Pamela are the happiest they've looked in years, as a source first confirmed to People: 'They're enjoying each other's company. It's a budding romance in the early stages. It's sincere, and it's clear they're smitten with each other.'
Anderson portrays grieving sister Beth Davenport opposite Neeson's Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr. in Akiva Schaffer's slapstick comedy continuation, which has earned $36M back from its $42M budget since opening worldwide last Thursday.
The Naked Gun is 'certified fresh' with a 90% critic approval rating (out of 258 reviews) and a 75% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Jordon Hudson smears pageant queen rival with heinous cheating allegation
Jordon Hudson allegedly attempted to smear her Miss Maine rival in a bizarre cold call to a journalist. Hudson, the 24-year-old girlfriend of Bill Belichick, has been at the center of a media storm over the past year with the couple's controversial relationship dominating headlines. And it appears the former cheerleader is far from happy with some of the coverage. Yet, it wasn't the ceaseless stories surrounding her 49-year age gap with the legendary football coach or their car crash CBS interview that left her spitting, but rather the coverage of her Miss Maine pageant. Hudson competed in the beauty pageant in May where she finished second runner-up, which was extensively covered by The Sports Gossip Show in an episode dedicated to Miss Maine. And two months later, the brunette beauty called the podcast's co-host Charlotte Wilder out of the blue at 9pm one Saturday evening, allegedly announcing herself as 'the president of your universe'. She then launched into a slew of complaints over the show's episode dedicated to the Miss Maine pageant, which included a pointed dig at her rival and ultimate winner, Shelby Howell. 'I am assuming she is recording me,' Wilder said of the call on the latest episode of The Sports Gossip Show, which was recently acquired by The Athletic. 'It was unclear to me why she was calling me at first. I tried very hard to be normal. She seemed like, I couldn't tell what the tone was. She would oscillate between friendly but there was clearly an edge to her voice, she kind of wanted to let me have it. She wanted to talk about our Miss Maine episode, our opinions around the pageant.' Wilder said Hudson was rambling in circles, using 'legalese' and 'word salad' in attempt to make her points. 'She wants to know why we said her competing in the Miss Maine pageant would take away opportunities for other people who would need them more - there's a package with beauty treatments, pageant training and of course the title of Miss Maine,' Wilder continued. 'Jordon is more famous than Miss Maine could make anybody. She wanted to know why we said that. She also wanted to know why we said it is her and Bill against the world.' Yet, it was her final question that truly raised eyebrows as she appeared to imply that her fellow competitor and the freshly-crowned Miss Maine Howell shouldn't have been eligible. 'She also wanted to know why we didn't report that the winner of the Miss Maine pageant, a woman named Shelby, wasn't actually from Maine. We did actually report that in the following episode,' Wilder added. Howell was declared the winner of Miss Maine USA, with Mara Carpenter also finishing ahead of Hudson. Howell is a native of San Diego, California - not Maine - but reportedly resides in Bangor, allowing her to compete in the pageant. The Sports Gossip Show reported that on a later episode. Hudson finished second runner-up in the competition after finishing first runner-up in 2024 However, according to the Bangor Daily News, Howell's ties to the state do appear to be tenuous. The beauty queen does reportedly have a Maine driver's license but her first social media post showing her in the Queen City was allegedly published only about 10 weeks before the pageant. Howell did provide the necessary paperwork to be able to compete in the pageant. However, 'state hopping' is a popular practice in the pageant world, which sees contestants compete in states where they believe they have a better chance of winning. Wilder and her co-host Madeline Hill, who went on to have multiple calls with Hudson over the course of a week, repeatedly likened their conversations with the pageant contestant to a 'toxic relationship.' Hudson's second runner-up finish was one place lower than where she finished in 2024 and she and Belichick made a swift exit after she failed to win. She declined any interviews, but was quick to thank those who told her that she looked incredible in the purple floor length gown with a slit, paired with silver heels. The pageant came in the aftermath of Belichick's highly-publicized disaster of an interview with CBS Mornings, when Hudson cut in to block a question about how they met. The legendary New England Patriots coach was asked about how he first met Hudson and looked visibly uncomfortable, before she called out from off-camera to say their relationship was not a talking point. It sparked a merciless explosion of scrutiny over their relationship and its near 50-year age gap. TMZ later reported that Hudson at one point stormed out of the CBS interview - delaying shooting for around 30 minutes. Belichick is preparing for his first season in college football with University of North Carolina Another report said that Hudson actually interrupted the interview so much, CBS felt obliged to include footage of one intervention as it was a genuine reflection of their experience. The legendary NFL coach has endured an embarrassing start to life in college football, with Hudson repeatedly overshadowing him as he prepares to coach UNC. Belichick, an eight-time Super Bowl winner across his iconic NFL career, takes charge of his first college game on September 1 when UNC hosts TCU Horned Frogs in Chapel Hill. Belichick coached the Patriots for 24 seasons, ending his tenure with the team in January 2024.

The Starburst candy saga that saw mom denied big cash prize but keep winning pack for 15 YEARS has epic ending
A Connecticut grandmother finally got her $10,000 prize from a 15-year-old pack for gold-wrapped Starburst as a very sweet surprise ahead of her 50th birthday. On a scorching hot July afternoon in New Haven, Kiya, 20, and her mother, Nila, 50, dug through a closet looking for their extra air conditioning unit. Sorting through the rarely entered corner of the home, Nila pulled out a small chest of keepsakes. Accompanied by Kiya, one of her sons and her granddaughter, Nila opened the box of memories to reminisce on precious moments from the past. But among the sentimental snapshots and trinkets was a seemingly out-of-place pack of Starbursts. Neatly tucked away in clear plastic wrapping, the weathered candies were ripped into but untouched. And instead of the typical variety of pink, orange, yellow and red wrappers, all of them were covered in gold foil. Everyone raised their eyebrows at the unlikely memento, but for Nila, memories of massive disappointment from over 15 years ago came rushing back. 'I'm never getting rid of this pack of Starbursts - because I'm a winner,' Nila said as her voice cracked, captured in a TikTok Kiya posted on July 8, which garnered tens of millions of views. These Starbursts were part of a 2010 sweepstakes. But when the single mother-of-five went to cash in her prize, it was too late. 'Are you going to eat it?' her granddaughter asked with a smile, lightening the mood as the room burst into laughter. Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, Nila later revealed what she recalls from all those years ago. She was grocery shopping at Stop & Shop sometime in 2010 when she reached for a pack of Starbursts. They're her favorite type of candy - especially the pink ones - so she did not think twice as she threw them in her cart without looking at the packaging. When she was ready to indulge in her sweet treat, she realized there was something different about them. 'Find the gold Starburst, you could win $10,000,' was stamped on the wrapper in blue. They were apart of the 'Hunt For Gold' promotion. She tore the wrapper open, revealing gold-wrapped candies. She then dialed the number on the back as her heart raced at the idea she may have won. But then she learned the devastating news that she had missed the deadline. 'They were like "oh, that contest ended" and I was just so sad,' Nila told the Daily Mail. Just like that, one of the most exciting moments of her life turned into one of the biggest let downs. She cried for two days about the prize funds that slipped through her fingers. She decided to tuck them out of sight, but never threw them out. After all, Nila had been a winner. But as the years went on, the Starburst debacle faded into oblivion. She had not thought about it since she packed the candies away. The keepsake box stayed in its hiding place - and if it was not for the early July heatwave, it probably would have still been there. Kiya, who was about five years old when her mother bought the almost-lucky pack, told the Daily Mail this was the first time she heard this jaw-dropping story. Starburst DMed Kiya, letting her know they wanted to help Nila celebrate her 50th birthday 'You know this generation,' Nila joked, 'She pulled out her phone while I'm telling her the story.' In awe of the unexpected anecdote, Kiya uploaded the video, which blew up almost immediately. Along with the attention of nearly 30 million viewers, it also caught the eyes of Starburst. '@starburst she got the gold ones can we still get out 10k?' Kiya wrote. In the meantime, Kiya shot Starburst a DM to make sure they saw her post. On top of that, hordes of viewers brought attention to her situation on the company's page. A few days after she shared the original video, Starburst commented: 'Yes, of course we saw this. Yes, we love it. And yes, we had to talk to Legal. Check your DMs.' Kiya shared those DMs with the Daily Mail. After she explained the situation, the company got back to her with excellent news. 'Although the sweepstakes ended 15 years ago, we know your mom's birthday is coming up and we want to help celebrate - with $10,000 of course,' Starburst wrote. They made a follow-up TikTok breaking the fantastic news, which came just days before Nila's birthday, to those invested in the story that sounds too good to be true. 'I know that without every voice, none of this would have happened,' Nila said in gratitude. Kiya chimed in to say they were not expecting the original video to go viral. She jokingly asked her followers 'Who wants one?' 'We loved getting to be part of this! Cheers to all the golden moments ahead!' the popular brand commented on their update video. While there was an outpour of support and people rallying behind Kiya and Nila, others called them scammers and accused them of lying to secure a quick cash hit. 'Let's just say I turned my phone off for a little while,' Kiya told the Daily Mail. Regardless of what the internet had to say, Nila said this money was a 'miracle', and it came at the perfect time. 'I look at it like a true blessing from Heaven,' she said. A circuit board manufacturer by trade, Nila has been struggling with her health this year and has been on leave from work. 'I was just trying to figure out how I was going to make ends meet. There's just a lot going on in my life at this moment. 'It may not seem like a lot of money for some, but for us it's life-changing.' Nila said she plans to use some of the $10,000 to help her buy an ice cream truck, a business plan she has had in the works for some time. She is also on the brink of publishing a book of poetry. And she has no plans to eat the Starbursts but will save the pack. 'I think they mean even more to her now,' Kiya said.

Bizarre link between DJ probed in deadly radio water drinking contest and this year's blockbuster murder trial
A mother-of-three met an extraordinary death after she entered a radio competition to win her children a newly released Nintendo Wii console. The premise of the 2007 contest was simple: drink as much water as you can without going to the bathroom. The last person standing would win the prize. Jennifer Strange, 28, loved listening to Morning Rave on KDND-FM. When she heard about the station's 'Hold Your Wee for a Wii' competition, it sounded fun, if a little silly. Remarkably, she was chosen to take part. The contest began at 6:45am on January 12, 2007, with 17 contestants. They were each given eight-ounce bottles of water to drink every 15 minutes, with the amount increasing over time. Strange, who drank almost two gallons, began complaining of a headache and stomach pains. But the hosts, Adam Cox, Steve Maney, and Patricia Sweet, joked about her condition, with one remarking that her swollen stomach made her look pregnant. Jennifer finished second and went home with concert tickets as consolation. She called in sick to work, saying she was in severe pain, but within hours she was dead. Her death sparked a national scandal, leading to a criminal investigation and a multi-million-dollar settlement. However Cox's involvement in the Strange case wouldn't be his last brush with controversy. Years later, his name would be tied to another shocking case: his sister, Lori Vallow, was convicted of killing her children in a saga that horrified the nation. Cox wrote about the tragedy involving Strange in his self-published memoir, My Crazy Radio Life, released in 2019. The former DJ detailed how the idea for the fateful competition came about during a half-hour brainstorming session with his boss and production manager. Despite concerns about safety, the contest was approved by management and the station's legal team to take place at their Sacramento studio. During the live broadcast, Jennifer repeatedly voiced her discomfort. 'My head hurts. They keep telling me that it's the water... that it will tell my head to hurt and it'll make me puke,' she said at one stage. Cox joked: 'Who told you that, the intern?' To which Sweet chimed in: 'Somebody that wants you to lose.' At one point, Sweet asked if it was possible to die from water poisoning. 'Your body is 98 percent water. Why can't you take in as much water as you want?' replied Cox. Sweet laughed: 'Maybe we should've researched this before.' Several listeners called in to warn the hosts of the risks, including a nurse who mentioned the potential for fatal consequences. 'Yeah we're aware of that,' said Cox, with fellow host Maney adding that participants had signed safety waivers so 'we're not responsible'. 'And if they get to the point where they have to throw up, then they're going to throw up and they're out of the contest before they die. So that's good, right?' continued Cox. In another exchange, Strange told Cox she was feeling lightheaded and unsure what was wrong. 'This is what it feels like when you're drowning. There's a lot of water inside you,' said Cox. 'Oh, it hurts,' Strange replied. Cox later wrote that the tone of Morning Rave was 'playful… sometimes even sarcastic', and, despite the concerns of callers, he and the other hosts were powerless to stop the contest. When Strange finally bowed out after three hours, accepting Justin Timberlake tickets as second-place consolation, she told Maney, 'I don't think I'm ready to go home yet.' But she drove herself home, calling in sick to work on the way. Her colleague, Laura Rios, told NBC that Strange said her head was 'hurting her real bad'. 'She was crying and that was the last that anyone had heard from her.' In his memoir, Cox said he was alerted to Strange's death in a phone call from his boss. 'I picked up the phone groggily said: 'Hello.' Then I was about to hear words that had a catastrophic impact on my life, which will forever be engraved in my mind and soul. My boss said, 'One of the contestants from the contest died today,"' Cox wrote. 'I couldn't understand why or how that could've happened. I started crying thinking about her, one of our loyal listeners, a mom just trying to win a Wii for for her kids. 'Thinking about that hit me like a ton of bricks.' Cox, Sweet, Maney, and several colleagues were immediately fired after Strange's death, and Morning Rave was pulled from the air. They were told they were being investigated for possible criminal charges in connection with her death. Cox later appeared on KCRA, claiming he and his colleagues had been unfairly treated. He said news crews had been camping outside his home. 'Our reputations went from riding high on a successful morning show… to the bottom of the barrel. Almost instantly, we were considered lower than the dust of the earth,' wrote Cox in his book. '[A]ny reasonable person should have realized that we as a team were just doing our job as radio entertainers and only did what the management directed.' The Sacramento District Attorney ultimately closed its investigation into Strange's death without filing charges against the station or its employees, including Cox. In 2009, Strange's family was awarded $16.5 million by a California jury in a civil case, which found the station liable for its employees' actions. Entercom, the station's parent company, surrendered KDND-FM's license, and the station went off the air in 2017. For years, Cox struggled to find work. '[N]obody was going to hire a DJ with a reputation as a 'killer.' I was branded with a cruel and false charge," he wrote Eventually, he worked for two other radio stations before becoming a professional pickleball player and coach, leading a life of relative obscurity. That was until his sister, Lori Vallow, was thrust into the spotlight in 2019. Lori's saga began that July when her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, was shot dead by her brother, Alex Cox. Alex claimed he shot Charles in self-defense after Charles attacked him with a baseball bat. But investigators later determined Alex killed Charles at Lori's direction. By this time, Lori was already involved with Chad Daybell, a doomsday author who would become her fifth husband. A series of strange events followed Charles' death. First, Lori's two children, Tylee Ryan, 16, and JJ Vallow, 7, vanished days apart in September. In October, Chad Daybell's wife of 30 years, Tammy, was found dead at home. Lori and Chad then secretly married in Hawaii in early November - but there was no sign of JJ or Tylee at the wedding. Tammy's body was exhumed in December for further testing, as investigators believed her death was suspicious. Days later, Alex Cox was found dead at his home in Arizona. For months, Lori refused to reveal the whereabouts of her children. The case dominated national headlines, with her bizarre religious beliefs and involvement in a doomsday cult taking center stage. In June 2020, a tragic discovery was made at Daybell's home in Rexburg, Idaho: JJ and Tylee's remains were found in shallow graves. JJ was wrapped in garbage bags, and Tylee had been dismembered and burned. Both Lori and Chad were convicted of various charges in connection to the deaths of JJ, Tylee, Tammy, and Charles. At her trial for Charles Vallow's murder in Arizona earlier this year, Lori cross-examined her radio DJ brother, Adam Cox, who had been called as a witness. For almost two minutes, Lori grilled him on the last time they saw each other. '[The last time you saw me] were we eating my green chilli chicken enchiladas?' asked Lori. When Cox said he couldn't recall, an agitated Lori pressed: 'Isn't that what I made every time we had a family get-together, like, 10 times a year?' Cox again couldn't recall the dish. The awkward exchange later became a viral meme among true crime sleuths. He told the court he had 'no doubt' that Lori conspired with his brother Alex to murder Charles Vallow.
