How Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson Slowly Fell for Each Other: He Was 'Smitten' From the Start
The Naked Gun's Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson had a special connection from the moment they met, but the two single stars were just friends while filming the project. A source spoke to Us Weekly about how their romance began and why they work so well as a couple.
On set, people recognized their attraction to each other. 'People did notice, but it also made the film that much better,' the source said. '[Liam] has been intrigued and smitten with her since they started filming and expressed this to her.'
The two stars kept it professional though, the source explained: 'Feelings were definitely happening between them, [but] they both felt it was important not to blur any lines during production.' Once the movie wrapped, things changed: 'They started spending more time together [and getting] more personal…introducing their children and having dinners. They realized the connection went deeper.'
They have a lot of similarities, the insider noted. 'They're very private people who've lived public lives, so there's a shared understanding there.' Anderson and Neeson are also 'incredibly humble' and 'have similar personalities and understand each other.'
And their contrasts only add to their bond: 'Liam is quiet and introspective, and Pamela brings this fun curiosity that he enjoys,' the source said. 'Pamela loves Liam's dry sense of humor and the fact that he's such a gentleman. Liam admires how unapologetic Pamela is. She's not trying to impress anyone…They're a good match.'
Neeson and Anderson recently spoke about their first impressions of each other.
'Well, you know, we had never met before [filming The Naked Gun], and I remember thinking, 'Wow, she is gorgeous,' but she had this wonderful sense of silliness and just humanity about her,' Neeson said on SiriusXM's Radio Andy with Andy Cohen. 'I don't want to blow her head up, but it was like I just felt an ease with her, you know, and we discovered a silliness with each other, which was terrific, you know?'
Anderson told host Cohen that she 'was nervous to meet [Neeson], of course, and you're always nervous the first day on the set, and it was just easygoing and very silly, which puts you at ease and very silly, on and off.'

11 Times Celebs Revealed Hidden Costs Of Fame
Many actors, singers, and other celebrities have net worths that most of us could only dream of. While "more money, more problems" isn't necessarily accurate, "more money, different problems" seems to fit the bill. It's interesting to hear about the financial side of Hollywood behind the glitz and glamour. Here are 11 times celebs revealed the "hidden costs" of being famous: Referencing her desire to be a young mom, Sydney Sweeney told the Hollywood Reporter, "If I wanted to take a six-month break [to have a kid], I don't have income to cover that. I don't have someone supporting me; I don't have anyone I can turn to to pay my bills or call for help. They don't pay actors like they used to, and with streamers, you no longer get residuals. The established stars still get paid, but I have to give 5% to my lawyer, 10% to my agents, 3% or something like that to my business manager. I have to pay my publicist every month, and that's more than my mortgage." For Margot Robbie, landing the role of Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad came with an increased need for personal security. She told the Hollywood Reporter, "There's just all this stuff you learn along the way, like, when you get those death threats, it's [smart] to have a security team do a background check on whoever sent them to see if there is any past history of violence, because you'll need to know whether you need security to go to certain events. And every time you do a background check, it's going to cost $2,000, so take that into consideration when you're getting yourself into this." Taraji P. Henson told Sirius XM, "I hear people go, 'You work a lot.' I have to. The math ain't mathing. And when you start working a lot, you know, you have a team. Big bills come with what we do. We don't do this alone. The fact that we're up here, it's a whole entire team behind us. They have to get paid." Busy Philipps told Page Six, "I have to continually hustle. It is so true. With hair, makeup, and wardrobe and what it cost, Taraji P. Henson really spoke to that, and I felt it so deeply because I look at the money I am supposedly making, and then it is not just the bills but what is expected of me when I show up at a place. The film company or this production company is only going to pay this percentage of your hair, makeup, and wardrobe, so then you have to make up the rest." "It's very expensive to be famous," Sharon Stone told InStyle. "You go out to dinner, and there's 15 people at the table. And who gets the check? You get the $3,000 dinner check every single time." Tiffany Haddish has famously reworn the Alexander McQueen gown she originally bought for the Girls Trip premiere multiple times. Her initial reaction to its $4,000 price tag was, "Oh, hell no. This is my mortgage. I can't wear this dress." She was "devastated" when she learned she couldn't return it. From her first recording contract, Toni Braxton only earned $1,972 after paying back her label for expenses it fronted, such as music videos, travel, clothes, and time in the studio. Ashley Greene told Marie Claire, per HuffPost, "Twilight has ruined me. When this is all over, flying internationally is going to be very hard for me. It is just not worth it to buy a first-class ticket, because of the cost." In a YouTube video, Christy Carlson Romano discussed how she quickly blew through the money she made as a child star. She said, "My biggest thing about child actors — you aren't told that the work is going to slow down. In fact, I was told the opposite, specifically by my mom, some of my team, even my money manager at the time. 'Oh, don't worry, the residuals come; you're going to keep making money.' It's interesting; it bred a sort of contempt in me. It's a tremendous amount of pressure, and I think I self-destructed." On Spike TV's Life or Debt, Aaron Carter said in 2016, "Financially, I'm in a terrible position. When I turned 18, I got hit with all those taxes. I filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy last year; now I'm already over $100,000 in debt." And finally, in a since-deleted TikTok (per the UK's Metro), Grey's Anatomy and Reign actor Adelaide Kane said, "So I found out today the internet thinks I'm worth $4 million. My crippling debt says otherwise. WHERE?!" In a follow-up video, she broke down how much she made and how much she had to spend on taxes and her team.

Seth MacFarlane calls for less 'pessimistic' and 'dystopian' stories: 'It's so one-sided'
The 'Family Guy' creator discussed the need for more hopeful stories in Hollywood. Seth MacFarlane shared the need for more hopeful stories in Hollywood amid a plethora of dark projects released in recent years. MacFarlane sat down with Ted Danson on the Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast to discuss the importance of optimism and fun. The multi-hyphenate shared that he took on The Orville in order to put out something more positive in media. "The dishes that we are serving up are so dystopian and so pessimistic," MacFarlane said. "And yeah, there's a lot to be pessimistic about, but it's so one-sided." MacFarlane said while he enjoys shows like The Handmaid's Tale, he's become fatigued with dystopian narratives. The Family Guy creator noted that every time he drives down Beverly Boulevard, he only sees billboards for horror films and other "negative" projects. "They're certainly giving us a lot of cautionary tales, but where are the blueprints that they once gave us for how to do things correctly?" he said. "It can't all be just, 'Here's what's going to happen to you if you f--- up.' You do need, 'Here's what you can achieve if you change your ways and do things right.'" The actor added that Hollywood has become obsessed with anti-heroes "ever since Tony Soprano." This has created good television, he said, but in the case of a show like The White Lotus, "no one is someone you'd want to be." Part of the entertainment industry's job, MacFarlane said, is to create characters that inspire people to be better. "That's the only thing really that Hollywood can do that's worthwhile because as we all learned from this election, nobody gives a f--- what celebrities think," he said. "We can tweet, we can talk. Like, people don't care. They don't care. What we do do well is tell stories. And we're not doing the best job right now of telling those stories in a way that gives people hope."

Justin Bieber Shares Carousel of Romantic Moments With Hailey Bieber
THE RUNDOWN On Sunday, Justin Bieber shared a carousel of photos that included romantic shots with his wife, Hailey Bieber, seemingly enjoying some time in the countryside—or at least on a gorgeous lawn. The collection opened with a selfie where Hailey is leaning on her husband's shoulder with a yellow flower in her hair. Justin is wearing a white tank top and a pair of wraparound sunglasses that reflected their feet and the view in front of them. There were also a few pictures of them laying out on blankets side-by-side and enjoying the green grass. Hailey wore a three-quarter sleeve white shirt and dark jeans, while Justin wore loose jean shorts and an electric yellow hoodie. They seemed to be wearing the same outfits in another picture where they're sharing a kiss. Hailey posted the carousel in her Instagram Stories, adding the song 'That's How Strong My Love Is' by Otis Redding. On Saturday, Justin shared three photos with their son, Jack Blues Bieber, who will be turning one on August 22. They are seated on a couch together and Jack is waving his feet towards the camera. A glimpse of his blonde hair is visible and in one photo Justin leans down to kiss him on the head. On Friday, Hailey and Justin went to Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica for a date night. The couple dressed up, with the Rhode founder saying she was in a black minidress of ruched fabric with a plunging neckline. Hailey wore the dress with black pointed-toe heels and carried a black handbag. She left her hair down and wore small silver earrings and sunglasses for accessories. Justin wore a large black leather coat, a bright blue hoodie, and wide-legged jeans, with a SKYLRK white beanie and sunglasses. Justin was seen holding the car door open for his wife before following her into the restaurant.
