Pals of Liam Neeson's late wife Natasha Richardson weigh in on Pamela Anderson romance
Cohen happened to be 'dear friends' with the late Natasha Richardson, who was married to the 73-year-old Irishman for 15 years until her tragic skiing accident.
'I, and all of the friends in this circle, are very much stanning whatever this is,' the 57-year-old Bravo host gushed on SiriusXM earlier Wednesday.
'As I was telling him at the [Naked Gun] premiere party, I go, "Liam, [Pamela] is an independent woman, just like Tash was. She loves to cook. She has her own thing going on. She has two boys. I mean, this just works, and you know?"
'She is a formidable human being, Pamela Anderson. She really is. Like what she's been through and how she kind of reclaimed herself and redefined herself.'
The 58-year-old Baywatch alum experienced a full-blown career resurgence last year after starring in Gia Coppola's drama The Last Showgirl, which earned her Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations.
Andy noted that 'it's been 16 years' since Richardson died, at age 45, from a traumatic brain injury in 2009, so Neeson might be ready for love again.
However, the Oscar-nominated actor has technically been single since 2012 when he ended his two-year relationship with Freya St. Johnston.
On Wednesday, Liam sweetly held hands with Pamela while speaking with Cohen.
This, after Neeson pretended to make out with Anderson on the TODAY show.
'I had never met Pamela before. We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely budding chemistry as two actors,' the Schindler's List alum gushed on the NBC morning show Tuesday.
'It was like "Ooh, this is nice, let's not mold this. Let's just let it breathe." And that's what we did.'
The coy couple are the happiest they've looked in years, as a source told People on Monday: '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.'
Earlier this month, the Golden Globe nominee gushed to EW: 'I think I have a friend forever in Liam. We definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving. He's a good guy.'
Pamela has been married an eye-popping, five times to four different men - Dan Hayhurst (2020-2022), Rick Salomon (2007-2008 and 2014-2015), Kid Rock (2006-2007), and Tommy Lee (1995-1998).
On Monday, Anderson and Liam looked like every bit the blended family as they posed with their two sons - Micheál, 30; and Daniel, 28; (with Richardson) as well as Brandon, 29; and Dylan, 27; (with Lee).
The 15-time Playboy cover girl portrays nightclub singer Beth opposite Neeson's Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr. in Akiva Schaffer's slapstick comedy continuation, which hits US/UK theaters this Friday.
The Naked Gun also features Danny Huston, Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Busta Rhymes, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, and Eddie Yu.
Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and David Zucker wrote and directed the original trilogy spanning 1988-1994, which amassed a total $476.4M at the global box office, following the short-lived ABC series Police Squad in 1982.

The simple eye trick to fall asleep in seconds if you keep waking up at 3am: 'You've saved my life'
Millions have been left stunned over a bizarre-but-brilliant sleep hack that promises to knock you out in seconds. And all it involves is moving your eyes around. Jenna Coak, an American content creator known for testing wellness tips, has gone viral after posting a clip now viewed 2.6 million times. In the video, she explained how a trick she saw on Instagram helped her fall back asleep in the middle of the night, something she says she normally struggles with every single night. 'I saw this trick on Instagram for falling back asleep after you wake up in the middle of the night,' she told her followers. 'I was like no way does this actually work. But I've tried it a couple of nights in a row and it literally works.' In the clip, Jenna, who wears an Aura ring to track her sleep, revealed her shocking data showing how often she normally wakes during the night. 'I usually wake up this much. It's insane I know,' she said, flashing a screenshot of her restless stats. Jenna Coak, an American content creator said the trick is: 'You look to the left, you look to the right, you look up, you look down, then they go round in a circle one way, and then you go the other way. And that's it. You just repeat it until you fall back asleep.' 'This was the first night I tried it. So much more restful. Second night it also worked!' Her fail-safe hack couldn't be more low-effort. 'This is what you do. I'm going to demonstrate it,' she said, eyes closed. 'You look to the left, you look to the right, you look up, you look down, then they go round in a circle one way, and then you go the other way. 'And that's it. You just repeat it until you fall back asleep.' To prove her theory, Jenna said she tested the technique multiple nights in a row. 'One night I swear I did it twice and I remember thinking 'no way is this going to work',' Jenna said. 'And the next thing I knew it was 7.30am and my alarm was going off.' To prove her theory, Jenna said she tested the technique multiple nights in a row and recorded it on her Aura ring (pictured) Jenna claims there's a science-based reason behind the success of the technique. 'I obviously looked at the science behind it, and it sounds like it activates our parasympathetic nervous system because it tricks your brain into thinking it's in the REM cycle,' she explained. 'It feels like some type of voodoo magic.' Her followers were blown away by the trick, flooding the comments with praise, personal hacks and pleas for it to work on small children. 'Yes! We do this in therapy and it regulates your nervous system,' one viewer confirmed. 'Can someone tell my baby this hack?' another joked. 'You've saved my life,' a third wrote. And others who tried it were instantly convinced. 'I am chronically up every night, and I tried this last night,' wrote one fan. 'I am sold! It was the weirdest thing. I was very aware of how I was moving my eyes around, and then that would be the last thing I remembered. Thanks for sharing!' Another user added: 'I close my eyes, and say 'nothing, nothing, nothing,' over and over again in my mind. 'It keeps all the intrusive thoughts away. Works every time.'

Jennifer Aniston reveals more than intended as she gives her fans a glimpse inside her messy handbag
Jennifer Aniston 's fans got a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into her life — and her cluttered handbag — in a new video posted Sunday. The 56-year-old Friends sensation was using Instagram to promote her haircare range LolaVie. But in the process she gave her nearly 45 million followers a closeup view inside her brown suede purse as she shuffled through the contents to find her latest product. Showing off a short glossy red manicure, Jennifer — who recently shared her thoughts on romance — unveiled a small tube, held it close to the camera and whispered: 'Dry shampoo. It's awesome and it's finally out.' She echoed the message in the caption, writing, 'Our Dry Shampoo just dropped… and IT'S SO GOOD! I hope you love too! @lolavie.' Also appearing in the snippet was her longtime hairstylist Chris McMillan, who was styling a model's hair. The longtime actress wore a simple gray tank top and a pair of jeans in the promo clip, which is nearing 50,000 likes. Her signature dirty blonde hair was styled in a side part and face-framing layers as it fell over her chest. Spotted inside her pocketbook was a bottle of Smart Water, Pvolve resistance bands, and a packet of makeup remover wipes. Jennifer's hair brand will celebrate its three-year anniversary in September. To mark the two-year anniversary in 2024, she shared an Instagram post and captioned, 'Happy second Birthday @lolavie! Proud of my incredible team. All the friends, fans and ALL the returning customers!' She added, 'Couldn't have done it without you… and so much more to come!' Last year Jennifer got emotional while visiting an Ulta Beauty location to check out what her hair products looked like on the shelves. When she got inside her car with the purchased items, she held them close to her chest and exclaimed in a video shared on social media, 'This is so exciting!' The actress' latest suitor is wellness coach, author, and hypnotist Jim Curtis. In July they were spotted on a yacht as they vacationed together in Mallorca, Spain with actor Jason Bateman, his wife, and other friends. The Morning Show star is reportedly in a 'very good place right now' amid her budding connection with Curtis, according to a source who recently spoke to People. However, the Hollywood mainstay is staying mum on the details of her new relationship. She told Closer magazine about her love life: 'No matter how long I have been in the industry, I will never get used to people thinking they have any sort of right to know about your personal life.' But she did offer advice about letting love unfold 'organically.' 'A good place to be is to be open to [love], but not seeking it. That way you don't put any pressure on the situation, and if it happens organically, then amazing,' Jennifer explained.
