You Can Now Buy Pamela Anderson's Pickles
is the commerce writer at Eater, and an award-winning writer with bylines in GQ, VICE, The Daily Beast, and other publications. A curious home cook with a deep love of Polish cabbage rolls, her devotion to food service journalism knows no bounds. While there are countless things we might associate with Pamela Anderson and her career, her latest venture into pickles might, at first, feel unexpected. The former Baywatch actress, animal rights activist, and staunch Jungian just released her own signature gourmet pickles with Flamingo Estate, the Los Angeles lifestyle-estate-turned-brand best known for its herbaceous candles, lush grounds, and $82 fruit snacks. As the Flamingo Estate site explains, 'Pamela's Pickles are both hot and vegan,' developed from a recipe passed down to Anderson from her great-aunt. However, if you've been following the last five years of the multi-hyphenate star's career, Pamela's Pickles actually makes perfect sense as an addition to her already food- and lifestyle-centric media portfolio; Anderson launched a vegan cookbook earlier this year; has two lifestyle television shows under her belt: Pamela's Garden Of Eden (2022) and Pamela's Cooking with Love (2025); and just talked about the sourdough bread and cookies that she enjoyed baking for her The Naked Gun co-star and paramour Liam Neeson during filming. (Personally, I have had my eye on her lifestyle brand potential ever since she shared her cottagecore Malibu beach house on MTV Cribs in 2000, which remains my go-to lucid dreamscape.) But, back to the pickles — how do they taste? Snackers can expect crisp cucumbers in a brine base with mustard, dill, garlic, and rose combined with pink peppercorns, guajillo chiles, and smoky sea salt, and all of the pickles' sale proceeds will go to an Anderson-selected non-profit, the California Wildlife Center. Flamingo Estate has also made a habit out of mastering splashy but understated celebrity collaborations (remember when it nonchalantly made honey in Will Ferrell's yard?). Granted, at $38 a jar, these are some posh pickles. But they do benefit a good cause, and the pleasantly spicy, savory yet slightly floral cukes feels worthy of a main character cheeseboard or tapas moment. I'm thinking: three pickles, a very dirty martini, and an Emmental-stuffed käsekrainer? Quite a way to curate an end of summer charcuterie board. Pamela's Pickles can be purchased at Flamingo Estate.

A fermented fancy: Why is Pamela Anderson selling pickles?
2025 is turning out to be the year of the Pamelanaissance. The former Baywatch star wowed us in The Last Showgirl, a film which made our Top Movies of Far – and which may or may not have inspired Taylor Swift for the title of her new album. Then there was her starring turn in Naked Gun, in which she shines opposite Liam Neeson. Now, there's a bit of a pivot: Anderson is moving from the set to the pantry, as she's selling artisanal pickles. Yes, you read that correctly. The 58 year-old actress and pop culture icon has teamed up with Los Angeles lifestyle brand Flamingo Estate on a limited-edition release, 'Pamela's Pickles' - jars of spicy and floral pickles retailing at $38 (€32) a pop. Apparently, the base recipe comes from Anderson's great-aunt Vie. The actress added a personal flourish with dried rose petals, while Flamingo Estate layered in pink peppercorn, guajillo chile and smoky sea salt, along with regenerative organic Espelette pepper. Doesn't sound too bad... But why in fermented hell is Pamela Anderson selling them? What with her recent big screen renaissance, surely things can't be that bad? Well, it's all for a good cause as 100 per cent of the proceeds from the vegan pickles will be donated to the California Wildlife Center (CWC), a wildlife medical treatment and rehabilitation facility that provides medical care for more than 4,000 wild animals each year. So it's a bigger dill than just another celebrity hawking prepaid budget wireless providers or peddling vagina-scented candles. Une publication partagée par Flamingo Estate, Los Angeles (@flamingo_estate) The new pickled product comes days after Anderson responded to comparisons made between her cookery series, Pamela's Cooking with Love (on Prime Video), and Meghan Markle's With Love, Meghan (Netflix). Both shows debuted earlier this year, with Anderson's series debuting one week before Markle's. Last week, during the show Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Anderson was asked if Markle had copied her. 'On a scale from one to 10, how much of a rip-off did you feel like With Love, Meghan was of your show, Pamela's Cooking with Love?," Cohen asked the actress. Anderson replied: 'One – I didn't. (...) I didn't invent cooking shows. She's just doing her thing.' Euronews Culture has watched both shows, and we can safely say that Anderson's is the superior one. At least she doesn't create asinine welcome baskets masquerading as lifestyle hacks in which she cracks open a bag of store-bought pretzels only to transfer them into a clear bag with a handwritten label that makes it look like the duchess has actually made an effort. Elsewhere, Anderson has recently hit the headlines for her rumoured romance with Liam Neeson. The two actors have reportedly become the new 'it couple" of 2025, and the internet has been going wild over the A-list liaison. Their love affair recently got some backing from Oscar-winner Jamie Lee Curtis. The Freakier Friday star, who starred alongside Anderson in The Last Showgirl, told VT in an interview: 'With all due respect to pop culture, if love has found [its] way into that relationship - God bless them both - leave them the f*ck alone.' She added: 'Both of them have had hardship, and they're both beautiful human beings. If they actually have found an intimate love with each other, we should all go to bed tonight feeling better.' Feeling better... and with pickles in our online shopping cart.

Fans can't get enough of Pamela Anderson's pickles for sale - here's how you can land a jar
Pamela Anderson has launched her own brand of pickles — and fans are already saying what a big dill it is. The 58-year-old actor released her latest product, Pamela's Pickles, Sunday, in collaboration with Los Angeles' Flamingo Estate. The recipe for the pickles was passed down to Anderson by her great-aunt Vie, whom the actor called 'an award-winning pickler and canner.' '[She] was a great cook, and such a joy to be around,' The Naked Gun star told Elle Decor Sunday. She was bedazzled from head to toe and danced in the kitchen in high heels while spiking your coffee with Kahlua. She wrote a book, From Pickles to Pearls. This is legit!' However, Anderson said she's carrying the tradition of her aunt's pickles forward 'in [her] own way' by launching a spicy version of the snack, which calls for new ingredients. 'The delicious base is packed with Rose, Dill, Mustard, and Garlic — the perfect partner for the signature flavors of Flamingo Estate: Pink Peppercorns, Guajillo Chile, and smoky Sea Salt,' the description reads. So, how do you get your hands on Anderon's spicy and floral pickles? The product is sold on Flamingo Estate's website and retails for $38 per jar. Orders are expected to ship by August 18. All of the proceeds from the vegan pickles will be donated to the California Wildfire Center, a wildlife medical treatment and rehabilitation facility that offers optimal care to native California species. Fans have already expressed their excitement over the product. 'I'm buying whatever she is selling,' one person wrote in the comments of Elle Decor's Instagram post about Anderson's pickles. 'Love it! Love the packaging too! So pretty,' another added, while a third agreed: 'These sound SO GOOD! What a surprise combo of ingredients. Yummmm.' 'I would definitely try pickles with roses,' a fourth wrote. The new product comes days after Anderson responded to comparisons made between her cookery series Pamela's Cooking with Love and Meghan Markle's With Love, Meghan. Both shows debuted earlier this year, with Meghan's premiering on Netflix on March 4. Meanwhile, Anderson's Prime Video series was released one week earlier on February 24. During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen last week, the Baywatch icon was bluntly asked if she believed Meghan had copied her. 'On a scale from one to 10, how much of a rip-off did you feel like With Love, Meghan was of your show, Pamela's Cooking with Love? There were articles saying these two shows were very similar," Cohen asked the actor during a segment called 'Plead the Fifth.' Anderson, who appeared surprised by the question, replied: 'One – I didn't.' Pressing her on the topic, Cohen again asked: 'One? On a scale from one to 10, you did not see any similarities?' Anderson answered with a laugh: 'No, I didn't really look, but I didn't invent cooking shows. She's just doing her thing.'

Pamela Anderson's pickles will make Meghan green with envy! Fans go wild for Baywatch star's new product - after she addresses claims the Duchess 'ripped off' her cooking show
Pamela Anderson has launched a line of 'tangy and herbaceous' line of 'spicy rose dill' pickles - and it's very reminiscent of a certain Montecito mogul's lifestyle brand. Despite recently dismissing popular claims that the Duchess of Sussex 'ripped off' her cooking show with Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, the A-lister's latest culinary offering appears to embody everything the wife of Prince Harry was hoping to emulate with her own products. Down to the flowers embodied in the brine to the stunning pink packaging, the Baywatch bombshell's 'private harvest' from Los Angeles 's Flamingo Estate channels the same organic aesthetics As Ever is touting. A glossy photoshoot, complete with the celebrity, 58, sporting gardening gloves and a chic floppy sunhat also sparked similarities. All the money from the jars goes to support the California Wildlife Center, which works to help rescue, rehabilitation, and release of animals - a cause near and dear to vegan Pamela's heart. 'The secret to Pamela's Pickles is an award winning recipe that was passed down to her by her great-aunt Vie,' the website promises. 'The delicious base is packed with Rose, Dill, Mustard, and Garlic — the perfect partner for the signature flavors of Flamingo Estate: Pink Peppercorns, Guajillo Chile, and smoky Sea Salt.' Pamela's pickles retail for $38 (£28) for one 25 fl oz/ 709 mL jar. Despite recently dismissing popular claims that the Duchess of Sussex 'ripped off' her cooking show with Netflix series , With Love, Meghan, the A-lister's latest culinary offering appears to embody everything the wife of Prince Harry was hoping to emulate with her own products Speaking to the Daily Mail, branding and expert Chad Teixera explained the key differences between both women's products. 'Pamela's pickle launch is one of those rare brand moments where everything just clicks and it's perfectly timed and tongue in cheek,' he revealed. 'The flowers scattered in the mix, the sun-faded, handmade-in-LA energy, the jars that feel as much like art objects as pantry staples, it's the full lifestyle fix we'd expect from a Hollywood star. 'And yes, it happens to be exactly the territory Meghan's American Riviera Orchard (or "As Ever") has been trying to stake out with that feel of rustic glamour with a touch of domestic intimacy.' The key difference, he added, is that 'Pamela's brand feels like an extension of her'. 'So it's playful, irreverent, and grounded in decades of pop-cultural familiarity,' he continued. 'You believe she might have actually spent the afternoon in her kitchen pickling while a friend snapped the photos and it feels relatable. 'With Meghan, you still feel the production meeting behind the curtain, the mood boards, the careful stagecraft. 'That's not a crime, but in lifestyle branding, the perception of effortlessness is half the product and Meghan's is still clearly rehearsed and carefully produced.' Chad said that the pickle launch isn't necessarily a dig at Meghan 'and her polished final product' but more just the A-lister doing what she's good at - and doing it well. 'It's worth noting that Pamela didn't invent the rustic-meets-glam cooking-lifestyle moment, nor the kitchen-as-stage concept,' he added. 'But in a crowded space where everyone's peddling authenticity, Pamela's jars land because they're infused with personality you can't fake. 'Meghan could absolutely get there too but she has to let go of the idea that brand magic can be manufactured. The trick is to live it so fully that the marketing is almost an afterthought and not the end goal of needing to sell, sell, sell.' The launch comes shortly after fans of the Golden Globe nominated actress were left incensed after the former working Royal, 44, debuted her latest TV venture - which bore similarities to Pamela's Cooking With Love, a showing that premiered earlier this year on Prime Video. The Naked Gun star opened up on Sunday's Watch What Happens Live! with host Andy Cohen asking her: 'On a scale from one to 10, how much of a rip-off did you feel like With Love, Meghan was of your show, Pamela's Cooking with Love?' Pamela, who was appearing alongside new love and co-star Liam Neeson responded: 'One. I didn't - I didn't really look, but I mean, I didn't invent cooking shows' adding that Markle 'is just doing her thing.' Controversy was sparked when Prince Harry 's wife gave People magazine some of her top domestic tips ahead of the release of With Love, Meghan, in March. These included how to 'elevate' a normal dinner – such as after ordering a takeaway. Citing Chinese as a favorite delivery option, Markle told the US magazine: 'I like being able to do a hybrid, but even when I get a takeout I will try to plate it beautifully.' And discussing her new trademark As Ever – after she failed to secure copyright branding for her original name, American Riviera Orchard – she insisted: 'It's a learning curve. 'I appreciate everyone who gave me the grace to make mistakes and figure it out and also be forgiving with myself through that.' The two former TV stars live more than a thousand miles apart, yet both were smiling and giggling in brightly lit country kitchens, filming aspirational cooking with photogenic friends and famous celebrities. Both are seen carrying wicker baskets of fruit and vegetables picked from their gardens, dancing with joy, and gleefully high-fiving their celebrity guests. Both series are even the same length: eight episodes. When Meghan's first episode was shown, it prompted withering complaints that she had copied Pamela's winning formula. 'So similar it's freaky,' said one reviewer, while others branded Meghan's series 'inauthentic' and 'copycat'. More charitable observers might put this down to coincidence, as neither show seems to deviate from the wholesome template of many an aspirational cookery program. However, while Meghan filmed her series last summer, with the first trailer making its debut in January, Anderson's was commissioned back in February 2023 by Canadian broadcaster Flavour Network. And its trailer has been available for all to see since last October. A second season of With Love, Meghan, was announced by the Duchess herself as the first season came out in March this year as part of the couple's $100million deal with the streaming giant, which expires this year. Elsewhere earlier this year, Pamela gushed over her 'wonderful' career resurgence following her acclaimed performance in The Last Showgirl. The Baywatch icon revealed she'd been 'feeling a kind of sadness' during her break from acting before the role as a seasoned Las Vegas performer led to her being nominated for her first ever Golden Globe. Pamela spoke about her 'new chapter' and first staring role in many years, during a rare UK TV appearance on The Graham Norton Show in February. Recalling how her part in the movie came about, she told the host: 'I was making pickles and writing a cookbook and making my life beautiful no matter what but I had this kind of sadness thinking I had so much more to give'. 'So, when the script arrived I thought, "I am going to grab this part by the throat and do it."' Speaking about her comeback, Pamela admitted she was 'enjoying the moment' and branded it a 'really wonderful' thing to be happening at this stage in her life. Asked if see saw it as a new chapter, she said: 'I hope so. There are lots of things in the works, so I am deciding what I want to do next. I want challenging roles, I want to transform and see what I am made of. I feel like I have only just scratched the surface.' Discussing the film, she shared: 'It's a very relatable story and I had a lot of empathy for the character – I fell in love with her. It is a very touching and beautiful and not at all violent or exploitative towards women'. Pamela continued: 'We shot the movie in 18 days, which was wild. Playing Roxy in Chicago on Broadway was the warm-up for this role and I am so proud to be a part of it. I love independent cinema, and I can't wait to do more'. But while she may have missed out on a BAFTA nomination, but she is set for a key role at Sunday's prestigious ceremony. Pamela has not only bagged a front row seat for the ceremony at London's Royal Festival Hall but she will also present the gong for one of the night's biggest award categories. 'Presenting at the Baftas is a huge deal for Pamela,' an insider has told The Sun. 'In many ways she feels vindicated after years of being undervalued or mocked.' 'While she didn't get a nomination, Bafta bosses saw The Last Showgirl and knew they wanted her involved in this year's ceremony somehow. Finally, after all these years, she is being seen as the great actress she is.' After earning a Golden Globe nomination and a Screen Actors Guild Awards nomination, many were hoping Pamela Anderson would score her first Oscar nomination this year. Unfortunately, the actress' name wasn't called when the 97th Academy Awards nominations were revealed. While some consider her exclusion a snub, Pamela herself insisted that she wasn't expecting her name to be called at all. 'Oh my gosh, it's not something I ever expected. Doing the work is the win,' she told Elle. 'That's what I like to do, and I think we can lose sight of that sometimes in this whole crazy awards season, but it's nice to be recognised, and it's all a bonus,' The Last Showgirl marked her first starring role in many years, as Anderson added that she was more than happy with the accolades she'd already received. 'I couldn't imagine [it] anyway. I'm happy for the SAG nomination, that's [voted on by] your peers. That's really cool. This has been a long road promoting this film,' she said. She added that the success of The Last Showgirl is 'the best payback' after the Hulu miniseries Pam & Tommy, which chronicled the leak of her and Tommy Lee's sex tape. 'It's just one of those things. It happened and now I'm here and so this is the best payback … I'm being seen and recognised for my work and not these tawdry moments,' she said on Andy Cohen's Sirius XM show Radio Andy.
