Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson have at least one celeb pal who is ‘very much stanning' them as a couple
While doing press for their new comedy 'The Naked Gun,' the pair have been exhibiting some serious couple goals energy, with prime examples including a giggly joint appearance in a TikTok posted by Canada's eTalk, during which they were asked about their relationship.
'We had a lovely chemistry… working together,' Neeson said, to which Anderson quietly replied, 'Yeah,' while gazing at him.
Things seem to have gotten heated on the 'Naked Gun' set, it sounds like.
During an appearance on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' this week, Neeson shared that he worked with an intimacy coordinator for the first time, as his and Anderson's characters have a threesome in the new film which is a reboot of the 1988 original.
Neeson said the experience was 'a little bit strange.'
'Pamela and I knew what to do,' he added, laughing.
Neeson also shared that Anderson, who is a cookbook author in addition to actor, made sourdough bread and bran muffins for him. How sweet, literally.
The pair also have a famous shipper in Andy Cohen.
The Bravo host – who was a good friend of Neeson's late wife, actress Natasha Richardson – said during a recent episode of his SiriusXM show said that he and other friends who were a part of Richardson's circle are 'very much stanning whatever this is' between Neeson and Anderson.
'I was telling him at the premiere party, I go 'Liam, she is an independent woman, just like Tash (Richardson) was, she loves to cook, she has her own thing going on, she has two boys,' Cohen said. 'This just works.'
Richardson died in 2009 after falling on a beginner's ski slope at a resort in Quebec, Canada. She was 45.
'The Naked Gun' is now in theaters.

When Acting Is More Than a Career
These days, being an actor — especially if you're a woman, especially if you're an American woman — isn't just about acting. You have to also be a marketer (of yourself, of a product). Ideally, you should also be an entrepreneur. You should express your politics intelligently, but you should be prepared for public opinion to turn on you for doing so in a way that doesn't feel authentic or sounds too strident, or for choosing the wrong issues altogether. Acting itself is no longer the end goal of your career — it's a gateway to being a director or founding a production company. Acting is your way into a different life, not life itself. This is increasingly true for young actors everywhere, but it's perhaps less so in the U.K. There, for both business and cultural reasons, even internationally known and commercially successful actors are expected to make regular appearances in plays; you're more likely to see them turning up in strange, low-budget or otherwise unconventional TV or film roles. Many of them are graduates of the country's storied acting schools, where Shakespeare is emphasized and theater is prioritized. Actors are among the U.K.'s greatest exports; Hollywood and Broadway would be lesser places without them. But even in this context, the London-based Irish actress Jessie Buckley stands out for her diversity of roles and singularity of spirit. At 35, she skipped over the ingénue phase, choosing instead a series of indefinable, distinct characters marked not by their looks or sympathy but by their sincerity and sense of wounded, tender pride — a nuclear fallout survivor in the 2019 mini-series 'Chernobyl'; a dissenter in a close-knit Mennonite community in the 2022 movie 'Women Talking'; and the impassioned, fragile Sally Bowles in the 2021 London production of 'Cabaret.' 'There are threads that connect [her] performances,' writes T's digital director, Alice Newell-Hanson, in her profile of the actress. 'Buckley allows her characters to be prickly with unresolved tension — between individual and family, abandon and care, creativity and responsibility.' In the coming months, Buckley will have two starring roles in anticipated films: first as Shakespeare's wife in 'Hamnet,' and then as the titular character in 'The Bride,' a remake of the 1935 film 'Bride of Frankenstein.' When Newell-Hanson met her in May, she was also 33 weeks pregnant with her first child. Her life is about to change. But one senses that, no matter what, she'll continue to chart her own course, and that her ambitions will remain her own as well: a performer who lives to perform. 'Life is magical and mercurial,' she says. To watch her onscreen or onstage is to believe that too. Hair by Orlando Pita at Home Agency. Makeup by Francelle Daly for Love Craft Beauty.

Cigarettes and Our Quest for Embodied Pleasures
Early this spring, at the height of conclave mania, an old photo made the rounds on social media: two cardinals lighting up. Dressed in black cassocks and red zucchettos, they held their cigarettes loosely between their lips. One, hands cupped, extended a lighter to the other, who gazed down through dark aviator glasses at an old-school flip phone. 'There's a reason Hollywood always uses Catholicism to represent Christianity,' someone wrote on X. 'Two Cardinals in full regalia ripping heaters, the choice is obvious.' Nearly 5,000 X users liked the post. We know that smoking is bad for us — decades of government P.S.A.s and packaging festooned with evermore graphic warnings have seen to that. And on a broad scale, smoking as a pastime is in steep decline. As of 2024, the cigarette-smoking rate was at an 80-year low. But romanticization of the cigarette has persisted — and in recent years, has grown. Cigarettes feature prominently in 'Materialists,' one of the summer's most talked-about movies; they are the accessory of choice for Gen Z icons like Paul Mescal and Charli XCX. The Times itself recently described the bowls of cigarettes reportedly set out at Mary Kate Olsen's wedding in 2015 as 'subversive, very French,' in a tone that couldn't help conveying more than a hint of approval. The mere idea of cigarettes is being adopted to zhuzh up tamer indulgences. Diet Coke has been jokingly renamed the 'fridge cigarette'; on TikTok, a viral video of a can being cracked open in the sun is captioned 'time for a crispy ciggy in the summer.' 'Wow, that's so real,' one of the more than 1,200 commenters responded. 'It just takes the edge off.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

‘Wednesday' Is Back. Here's What to Remember Ahead of Season 2
The idea was perhaps overdue: Take Wednesday, the sullen and morbid daughter of the Addams Family, and give her a show of her own. The resulting Netflix series, 'Wednesday,' starring Jenna Ortega and directed partly by Tim Burton, was an immediate hit: Season 1 is the most-watched season of English-language programming in Netflix history, spurring countless memes, themed parties and a genuine dance craze. Equal parts 'Harry Potter' and 'Twilight' with a dash of 'Veronica Mars,' the show seemed all but guaranteed to be renewed for a second season. (It was just renewed for a third.) But nearly three years have already passed since we last saw the deadpan teen and her assorted friends and foes. Here's what to remember ahead of Season 2, the first four episodes of which arrive on Wednesday. (The rest arrive on Sept. 3.) It's all Wednesday, all the time Unlike earlier Addams Family depictions, going back to the original comics by Charles Addams, 'Wednesday' takes place largely outside Addams Mansion. Wednesday's parents, Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez (Luis Guzmán), are mostly sidelined after they drop off their daughter at Nevermore Academy, a boarding school for supernatural misfits, where most of the action is set. But Season 1 did give plenty of screen time to Thing (Victor Dorobantu), the disembodied hand whom her parents sent to spy on her — but who proved to be a loyal and helpful companion. Despite their absence, Wednesday's family haunted her nevertheless because Nevermore was where her parents met and fell in love. The school's no-nonsense principal, Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie), who sometimes helped and sometimes hindered Wednesday, also once roomed with Morticia and was a rival for Gomez's affections. School cliques As Wednesday's bubbly werewolf roommate, Enid (Emma Myers), explained in the first episode, Nevermore's social scene is divided among the Fangs (vampires), Furs (werewolves), Scales (sirens) and Stoners (gorgons) — all of them 'outcasts' in the academy's parlance. Some students' talents fall outside these categories, including Wednesday, who experiences intrusive psychic visions triggered by touch. There's also a secret society, the Nightshades, which Morticia helmed in her student days. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
