What gives Pam the staying power to land in our top 10 nearly each week, making her the ultimate web icon? Is it her breakthrough role on Home Improvement, her film Barb Wire or her series on Babe watch, ahem, Baywatch?
Nope. The piece if video of Pam Anderson that changed the web forever and secured her position as the most popular search query for the past decade was the Tommy Lee and Pam. Anderson first married the drummer of Motley Crue in 1995 after knowing him for only 96 hours, and subsequently had two sons, Brandon and Dylan. But it was the sex video that changed everything. While married, Lee and Anderson filmed a video memento of their love. This video immediately surfaced on the web, and eventually became one of the most popular videos of all time. The couple sued the film's distributor, but settled out of court. Incidentally, this sex-capade video turned into a career craze for a select gang of women (i.e. Paris Hilton, Michelle Vieth, etc.)
In March 2002, Anderson publicly stated that she had contracted the Hepatitis C virus from Lee (supposedly from sharing tattoo needles) and subsequently became a celebrity spokesperson for the American Liver Foundation. Now, Anderson primarily focuses her celebrity power, often causing a stir, acting on behalf of the organization PETA - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
