The Australian "tough as Crocodile Dundee" gossip press criticized blond bombshell Pamela Anderson from the moment she landed "down under" direct from her birthday celebration in Vegas:

*They lambasted her for her antics in the LAX nightclub at the Luxor with a sexually suggestive birthday cake and for finger-feeding it to Mindfreak magician Criss Angel.

*They bashed her for arriving with an apparent smaller bust-line than what she had in her naked Playboy layouts.

*They raked her over the coals for plotting a PETA attack on Australian food interests -- and her plea to the prime minister about doing more for the animals than just being food! "She's baring her own animal rights claws," headlined one tabloid.

*They ridiculed her for the ridiculously skimpy white hot pants and matching halter-top she wore before entering the Big Brother TV house, and then the plunging red mini-dress she wore for her first scenes to talk to the contestants in their "diary room."

*They condemned her for attacking the KFC chain, which, ironically, is actually sponsoring her Big Brother TV show! (Is that biting the hand that feeds you?)

Pamela has said that Thursday when she leaves the "house" after the three-day captivity she will go to a KFC restaurant on Australia’s Gold Coast near Brisbane and "create a stir" to protest its alleged ill-treatment of chickens. "She's ready to cause havoc," reported The Australian newspaper quoting her celebrity handler down-under, Max Markson: "She will definitely be taking some kind of public action."

The 41-year-old princess of pulchritude and former Vegas Beauty of Magic showgirl said she was being paid a lot of money, "much more than I am worth," for her boost-the-ratings "seclusion." To further enhance her own bottom-line, Pamela also has her own upcoming American reality-show cameras filming her while in Australia. Her episode for Big Brother is titled "Tricks of the Trade" and will include the contestants photographing a mock pinup calendar. Pamela says she won’t go nude for the photo sessions even though she admitted her main mission these days is "saving animals and being naked."

To date, the contestants have been "trapped" inside the house for 73 days and at first they thought she was just a celebrity impersonator -- not the real star. One of the producers confirmed: "It took six months to finally succeed in getting Pamela to go through with the 48 hours of imprisonment -- but it adds a perv-factor that’s bound to be grand for ratings."
