She shimmied on to the stage hoping to emulate some of the sexiness that used to ooze out of Marilyn Monroe’s pores.

Pamela Anderson was dolled up to the nines on Dancing With The Stars as she performed the foxtrot to I Wanna Be Loved By You with partner Damian Whitwood.

But unfortunately for the former Baywatch star, she bore more than a passing resemblance to fellow Playboy model, the late Anna Nicole Smith, on Monday night. And while she impressed the audience and the judges alike, she failed to pull off the sultriness of the How To Marry A Millionaire star.

Anderson, 42, did look stunning, though, in a floor-length shimmering silver gown that hung low on the back and clung to her surgically enhanced features.

She moved effortlessly around the floor with her partner, pouting and kicking her legs to applause from the audience.

Pamela was one of 11 celebrities who took to the dance floor last night on the latest series of Dancing With The Stars — the American version of Strictly Come Dancing.

Kevin Federline: “Divorce from Britney made me fat”

There are plenty of reasons people claim they have put on weight — genes, metabolism, stress. But Kevin Federline has hit upon a novel excuse. The former dancer says pop star Britney Spears is to blame.

Federline says the end of his two-year marriage to the singer plunged him into depression, turning him into a couch potato.

But the 32-year-old admits there may be another reason. He was drinking up to 24 cans of full-sugar fizzy drinks a day.

“Anybody who goes through a divorce is obviously going to be depressed,” he told talk show host Bonnie Hunt.

Federline, who is currently trying to lose weight on American reality show Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp, spoke candidly about his feelings for Spears — his wife from 2004 to 2006. Federline has two sons with Spears; Jayden James, 3, and Sean Preston, 4.

The ex-dancer said seeing photos of himself looking fat by a hotel pool in Miami, Florida, was the motivation he needed to get back in shape.

What giving up sweets did for songstress Charlotte Church

Prowling around the floor on all fours, she might just be looking for that chocolate bar she dropped. But that would be the Charlotte Church of old. The new slimmed-down version doesn’t even keep sweets in the house any more.

And although she is reluctant to discuss the full details of how she managed to turn from a voluptuous size 14 to a slinky size 8 in a year, her brand new shape speaks volumes.

The 24-year-old singer, TV presenter and mother-of-two posed in a skintight dress for a magazine shoot. And she was so content with her look, she forbade any airbrushing.

Church opted for a Barbarella-style look as she appeared in a figure-hugging mini-dress for the shoot.
