Pamela Anderson Marries Kid Rock at Tootsies
The venerable and storied
Tootsies Orchid Lounge at 422 Broadway in Nashville (TN 37203), added another memorable (if unexpected) chapter to their honky-tonk annals on August 17th, 2006 as 7-time PlayBoy cover girl and Baywatch hottie Pamela Anderson married - again - Kid Rock (AKA Bob Ritchie).
According to Ms. Anderson on her website, after initially tying the knot on a yacht (hey, that sounds like a catchy song title) in St. Tropez, "We had to do Malibu, we've got to do Detroit, and we've got to do Nashville." (Kid Rock sightings abound in Nashville as he is rumored to own a condo in Music City.)
Reported PEOPLE Magazine, "The unsuspecting crowd at Tootsie's was taken by surprise when the singer on stage, Dustin Wilkes, announced: 'You guys aren't going to believe what we have next – Kid Rock and Pam Anderson are going to get married on stage and we're not even kidding,' a Tootsie's patron, McKenzie Davis, told PEOPLE. 'The place went crazy.' The club's staff were equally shocked by the star couple's appearance. 'We had no idea they were coming until they walked through the door,' said Tootsie's bartender Stephanie Rose."
As for the "I Dos," said Davis, "They did the regular vows, and when it came to the 'I do' part, he responded 'Hell yes!' Her response was, 'Unfortunately yes!' and she got a laugh out of that."
Pam's account read like a telegraph: "Got married in Nashville. Tootsies on stage. In front of the coolest crowd. Bobby sang 'Sweet Home Alabama' - The fun won't stop. Thanks Judge BROWN. Marriage Number 3, Nashville - Done…The Bride wore Juicy - the groom wore beam and coke!"
Likely the fun didn't stop there. Adds Cannabis Culture Magazine, "...Anderson's upcoming wedding to bad-boy rocker Kid Rock will feature her in denim shorts and a bra-top, Rock in a leopard-skin vest, leather pants and a felt hat, and the best man in an 'Up With Marijuana' t-shirt. Sounds like a party, and it earns them the new title of CC's stoner celebrity couple of the month!"
UPDATE: And they said it wouldn't last!
Pam Anderson and Kid Rock called it quits after just over four months -- 116 days -- of marriage (and four weddings!). On November 27th, Pam filed for a divorce—but "Bob" beat her to the punch by filing himself just minutes before. Both parties cited "irreconcilable differences" for the split.
Borat to blame? CNN and other news sources have reported that rocker Kid became enraged after seeing his wife's performance in the new controversial hit movie, Borat, in which she is portrayed as a sex object. Pam Anderson a sex object? Nahhhhh. "...we just don't belong together," says Pam on her website.
SIDEBAR: They must be smoking something over at GQ Magazine. They named Pam and Kid "Newlyweds of the Year" in their December 2006 issue. Yikes.
