Scene from a marriage

Posted by Jeffrey Wells on November 28, 2006 at 07:15 AM

Anyone in a marriage or a romantic relationship knows you don't air your messy feelings in public, much less at in front of rich industry peers. Keep it at home or in the car. But Kid Rock (i.e., Bob Richie ) doesn't get this, or didn't, in any event, at a party he and wife Pamela Anderson attended at the home of Universal honcho Ron Meyer a couple weeks ago, at which time his "male insecurity and major anger issues" erupted over Pamela's bit on Borat.

A "Page Six" source says this viewing "was the first time Bob had seen the movie, and, well, he didn't like it." He allegedly "started screaming" -- girl talk for using a forceful, urgent tone -- "at Pam, saying she had humiliated herself and telling her, 'You're nothing but a whore! You're a slut! How could you do that movie?' [All] in front of everyone. It was very embarrassing." The result, says the story, is that Anderson and Richie have reportedly parted ways. Because he couldn't contain his asshole-ishness.

Wait a minute...Borat's been done and screening since early last summer and Kid Rock only just gets around to seeing it two weeks ago? In mid November? What a lazy, armpit-scratching, self-centered piece of three-day-old cheddar cheese this guy must be. I think it's also fair to remind ourselves that Ms. Anderson can really pick 'em. Face it, she's trash herself -- a metaphor for the ongoing social devolution.

Pam is a star we
deserve; behold the power
of the ta-ta. (Sigh)

"Wait a minute...Borat's been done and screening since early last summer and Kid Rock only just gets around to seeing it two weeks ago? In mid November?"

I would add, "Wait a minute...You married Pamela Anderson earlier in 2006 and you're just now coming to these conclusions about her? What did she do in Borat that was so much more degrading than anything else she's done in her career?"

I give Pam props for having a good attitude about her life to this point, but, seriously Kid, what newspapers have you been reading over the past decade? Ever hear of something called the internet?

this is probably a really stupid question, but she was in on the whole Borat thing, right? That scene at the signing was too stagey to be believed. It was real enough until he chased he around the store and into the parking lot...and then didn't get arrested and/or pummelled by security. forget it, I just answered my own question.

A Borat casualty, oh well. Kid sure understands manhood. Rolling Stone announced their nuptuals by running a quote from him, "even solid gold pussy gets boring." I guess RS didn't think it would last.

Ironic, that the best thing's Pam done in her career is the thing that did her marriage in.

I came out of that movie thinking, "hey, maybe she's not that bad after all."

i...don't care.

Of course, the good news is that this means Pamela is now free to marry Borat.

Is there an article anywhere that documents PA's willing involvement in Borat? I thought this point was still a matter of debate -- ie. whether she was in on the joke or not -- but, if this Kid Rock story really is true (it's Page Six, how could it not be?) and PA was acting in that sequence, the ending of the movie loses something for me. I kind of believed she was genuinely surprised...or at least I wanted to.

I don't have a concrete source, but a co-worker of mine who is a huge fan of Borat said that Pam was aware that something was going to happen, but she wasn't told exactly what it would be. She agreed to go along with the surprise.

WTLW Kid Rock... what a douche-bag. Maybe someone should tell him his ex-wife also has Hep-C since he's apparently oblivious.

kid rock is also an admitted republican. which just about makes perfect sense in light of the moral hypocrisy...

See what happens when you care, Christian? Your post puts her official comment, "Unfortunately impossible.", into prespective.

i guess...i do care after all.

ata boy, chris, she whored and slutted herself for a cause. Ha-Ha, philosophical differences made Kid Rock lose his boner! How embarrassing for him! Ha-Ha, Rock, softie.

Just maybe, having never seen it or heard about it, Kid Rock was just as disillusioned by the sex tape scene in the RV as Borat was.

Nah, forget it.
He's a dip.

Does this mean we trust Page Six?

I could be wrong, but ...

methinks Pam Anderson isnt the brightest bulb and didnt know most of what 'Borat' was going to do to her at the end of the film.

Her publicist probably put a spin on it afterwards, to make people think that Anderson is bright & has a sense of humor, and was definitely in on it.

I think she knew a little bit, but not a whole lot.

On the anger fit that Kid Rock threw ... lets not forget that Kid and Pam were probably banging non-stop for the last 4 months. Why would Kid go to a movie or check the internet when he's got that dim bulb hotness to bang.

Didn't notice this thread. Was it really about Borat, or was it about the miscarriage? I'm kind of wondering why someone with Hep C would choose to have a baby in the first place....

Mafioso (The Criterion Collection, 3.18.2008) Nino Badalamenti is a supervisor in a car manufacturing plant who hasn't taken a vacation in over two years. On his way out the door to visit his beloved childhood hometown of Sicily -- with his blonde wife and daughters -- Nino is handed a package by his boss and asked to deliver it to a powerful and influential Sicilian gangster named Don Vincenzo. Once in Sicily, Nino has a hoot seeing friends and family, but his wife has trouble fitting in and is unfairly dismissed as a snob by Nino's family. Even more worrisome, Nino finds himself entangled in an intricate web of secret mafioso dealings and is eventually sent on an unexpectedly... elaborate errand. (continued)
