Pamela: Tommy in Denial

For Pamela Anderson Lee, denial isn't just a river in Egypt, it's the state her estranged hubby, Tommy Lee, lives in. The blond V.I.P. vixen tells the November issue of Interview magazine that the still-on-parole Mötley Crüe drummer is in "a lot of denial" about their breakup and says she now uses his therapist as a go-between.

"I really don't know where his head is at," Pam, who's Mom to Tommy's two sons, tells the mag. "He's actually in a very scary place as far as I'm concerned.… He's never said one nice thing about his ex-wife [Heather Locklear]. I know the pattern. I see it. And that's his protection."

And even if you're not terribly interested in what Pamela has to say, you should still check out the eye-candy photo spread that accompanies the article. The New York Daily News reports the pics are a sight to behold. One, which dubs Pamela the "patron saint of bombshells," shows her emerging, in the buff, from a giant eggshell. Another features her bald, naked, and sprawled as if struck by a silver Mercedes driven by her beau, surfer Kelly Slater.

The pictures weren't easy to come by. Seems Pamela and photographer David LaChapelle were shooting on the streets of Los Angeles in the wee hours of the morning when the city's finest arrived and asked the lensman for his permit. Oops, he didn't have one, and even though Pamela reportedly pleaded his case, the obviously starstruck cops refused to budge and issued LaChapelle a ticket.
