How Do You Tell Your Kids About a Sex Tape? Ask Pamela Anderson

By PopEater Staff Posted Nov 19th 2009 12:15PM

From 'Gossip Girl' to the Miss California competition, it seems that every sector of the entertainment world has a few sex tapes in its closet. Celebrity sex tapes are so common these days, they barely make a blip on the news radar. But one of the first celeb sex tapes - and therefore among the most famous - continues to follow its star. Pamela Anderson tells a British talk show host that she was finally forced to confront the inevitable: telling her two young sons about the pornographic tape she made with ex-husband Tommy Lee.

The NY Daily News reports that Anderson's confession came in the wake of her 'Borat' appearance. The mother of sons Brandon, 12, and Dylan, 11, told host Jeremy Kyle: "I knew kids were going to watch the film and there was a reference to the tape in the movie and they're that age and, you know, people are going start saying things."

"I just said, 'Look, Mummy and Daddy were massively in love, we videotaped everything, everything was videotaped, and you're probably going hear about something at school.'"

In the interview, which airs today in the UK, Anderson also discusses her troubled marriage to Lee, her health and her drinking habits. "I haven't had a drink in a month, I don't drink," she says. "Champagne - sometimes I'll drink it and I'll get a little crazy, doing back flips and, you know, wrestling people on the floor. But I'm taking a break right now."
