Parents need to know (if they don't already) that Pam Anderson is a former Playboy centerfold who built her career on a curvy body and her professed love of sex. As a result, this "documentary" series about her life frequently comes as close as possible to showing her in the nude without actually baring sensitive body parts -- although in several shots, she's so scantily covered that she might as well be completely bare. In terms of language, the news doesn't get much better: When bad words do pop up, they tend to be sexually charged. There's also some drinking.
Positive messages:Anderson's devotion to charitable causes like PETA -- and her insistence on keeping her kids off camera -- is admirable, but she seems more interested in promoting her, um, assets. As a role model for teen girls and young women, she falls short in several areas.
Sex:Anderson conducts interviews while soaking in a bubble bath, coyly raising her bare leg to shave or caress it. She's also shown posing naked at photo shoots -- and while technically no sensitive body parts are shown, it doesn't take much imagination to fill in the blanks. In addition, viewers will see flashes of cleavage (created by both breasts and buttocks), covers of Playboy magazines, and photographs of Anderson in which her nipples are clearly visible.
Language:For the most part, it's pretty mild ("crap," "damn," "bitch," etc.). But sometimes language veers into bolder territory ("c--k ring," anyone?).
Consumerism:As the subject of her own show, Anderson is essentially selling herself.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:Adults occasionally consume alcohol. Anderson jokes that the lemonade from her kids' lemonade stand "needs a little vodka."
