Pam Anderson Explains Her Dancing Technique

By Nicki Gostin Posted Apr 1st 2010 11:00AM

If you heard an odd sound just after 8 PM on Tuesday night, it was likely the collective gasp of millions of viewers stunned that crowd favorite Pam Anderson was in danger of being eliminated from 'Dancing with the Stars.' But when it came time to trim the cast, she was indeed spared this week. The buxom bombshell spoke to PopEater about balancing motherhood with her grueling rehearsal schedule, and her new-found passion for dance.

Last week your dance was very sexy.
I think we rocked it. I also got lost in the moment, just a bit! We had fun! I have a lot to learn about dancing; it's an incredible experience, but when the adrenaline goes, your legs start to shake and the audience is there. I lose a little control. I think for our first dance we accomplished what we wanted and that was to have fun and perform and bring people in. It felt good.

Who do you think is the person to beat?
We'll have to see. Everyone has their strengths.

How many hours a day do you rehearse?
I drop the kids off at school and then I go to rehearsals at nine. We rehearse until I have to run and pick up the boys. On Fridays, my kids only have a half day at school, so that's when we do fittings and a quick rehearsal in the Hollywood rehearsal room. You bump into cast members and say, 'Hi'; it's very social. Saturday is off for our families, and Sunday we meet to block out our dance on stage for the cameras and have final fittings. On Mondays, we hear the live band for the first time and try and get used to the song being played live and the tempo and then we do a run through of the entire show. Then it's show time at 5! It's quite a commitment, but I love the schedule, it totally works for me.

Are your kids going to come and cheer you on?
I like to keep my kids away from the spotlight. They cheer me on at home.

How has your body changed since you started?
I feel more energized and exercise does work. It's not overrated.

Who has become your new BFF on the show?
Damian [my partner], and I just adore Evan. We have mutual friends. Richie Rich has designed some skate costumes for him, and Richie and I are doing our Muse line of clothes together. Those fashion shows are a lot of fun. I met Evan in Vancouver at one of them.

How devastated will you be if you get voted off early?
I don't want to think about any of that, I'm having the time of my life and that says a lot! I'll never stop dancing!

I don't usually like Pam but right now not so bad - still not a fan but I don't think she deserves to be put down. She does think VERY highly of herself

Pam's still better than the idiot brood mare kate (small k).

By Morgan

Seems like people either love or hate her. Personally, I support her stance against KFC's cruel treatment of chickens and am also a vegetarian. She may have a flamboyant personality, but I'd like to have her bank account. I say, "If you've got it, just flaunt it." It doesn't last forever. When you're in the public eye, people will cast stones. Go Pamela!

By Lesha

The funny thing is, Pam's looks will last forever because they're not hers naturally! 200 years from now when we're all dead and buried, they could dig her up and find 2 silicone bags filled with saline and really bad hair extensions.

By misterkody

She looks and acts trampy...and she starting to look haggerd. Not a good dancer, although she is pretty good at throwing that over processed head of hair around. Hopefully next week they will give her the boot.

By Koz

I stopped watching it after they put Pam in the bottom two below Kate.
She is so hot.

By RICHARDBONNET

PAMALA ANDERSON SHOULD REALIZE THAT DWTS IS A DANCE CONTEST ,NOT A MARILYN MONROE LOOK-ALIKE CONTEST.
SHE LOOKS LIKE A JERK STANDING THERE TWITHING HER FACE AND MOVING HER FACE. IT IS A POOR IMITATION OF MARYLYN MONROE.
GIVE IT UP.

By Suzanne

Neither Pam or Shannon deserved the boot on the first week! It only goes to show that people vote for who they like not who dances best. My mom is a career dance instructor and I took 10 years myself and boy did America get it wrong! Kate? She didn't even get her footwork at all. As the one judge said its good she kept bouncing even when she couoldn't follow the steps. I have truly lost faith in the voting public. No offence to Buzz but for crying out loud! Pam and
Shannon the first bottom two? How about NOT vote for the ones who can't dance. What a concept, hunh? I am glad Pam made it though but so should Shannon! WHY are so many people fascinated with Kate anyway? She needs to go Should have already. Boo to all of you who vote for people who can't dance or even have the potential to learn!

By olzues

I doubt that we're getting a honest count. When the better dancers get "voted" off somthing stinks. With all due respect to Buzz Aldren he can't dance. Just so you understand I'm 76 and my joints are to stiff to dance, so I'm not jelous of Buzz.
I a real contest Kate would be long gone. If the best dancers keep getting "voted" off it's time for the show to get voted off.

By Lucy

You know, Pamela Anderson has just the sort of overly-sexy, sort of dumb, over-made-up image and look that I just naturally cannot stand. Yet, I don't dislike her. In the rehersals she looked as if she was having fun and was quite pleasant. She does the sex-bomb thing very well, but I get the feeling that she's really a good-hearted person. I wish her luck!

By Mike

Pam's dance technique? Jump up and down until her "girls" hit her chin.

By Dee

I'll take Pam anyday over Kate. At least she knows a little
how to dance. I am not watching it anymore since they let
Kate stay on and let the other two go.

I think people should write in to DWTS and let them know
how disappointed they are. I did it on line,I hope
it opens up their eyes.

Kate annoys the hell out of me. I wonder who told her
she can dance. Its true, people are voting for other things.rather than dancing.

Get rid of kate.

By maggie

Sorry Cannot stand Pam. It is a dance contest not a seduction contest, or a look at me I am ready for sex contest. I fast forwarded the TV when she was standing there waiting on the results, LOL she look like she was shimming, squirming around, she is getting too old. Looks like she was rode hard and put away wet. Thank Goodness for plastic surgery for her.
Disgusting.
And heck no Kate cannot dance.

By horsey

Why do people keep trying to imitate Marilyn. Pam couldn't make a pimple of MM's buttox. There is only one MM and she is gone.

By ED

I saw Kate on an interview and she thinks DWTS's ratings are up because of her...LOL..I hope she gets kicked off..cant stand her.
