Pamela Anderson admits in her new memoir that she knew awesome little about Tommy Lee when he entered Mexico in 1995.
“On the plane home, I asked her what our last name was, and she said, ‘Lee,'” the actress recalls in “Love, Pamela,” which hit bookstores Tuesday. “I said, ‘Oh, I thought it was Tommy Lee … something. Jones?’”
Anderson writes that he then asked Lee “where he lived,” to which he replied, “Malibu Road.”
Although the couple had only known each other for a few days when they said “I do,” the former Playboy model remembers being “in heaven” and “never letting go” of the Mötley Crüe drummer.
On the other hand, Anderson’s mother was not happy about it when she heard this story.
“He is angry. ‘Who is Tommy?’” the “Baywatch” star writes. “He didn’t believe that I was married, he cried that he had always wanted to be at the wedding of his only daughter.”
