Pamela Anderson's bikini shock

Baywatch star is horrified by sight of herself in a swimsuit

Tuesday, 17 April 2007

She'll be 40 this year and Pamela Anderson realises that her body just isn't the same as it was at the age of 21.

The former Baywatch actress, who has been holidaying in an exclusive Hawaiian resort with ex-husband Tommy Lee and their two sons, has vowed to hit the gym after seeing her pap shots of herself in skimpy swimwear.

'I've just been sent some pics from Hawaii. I have to laugh - well, at least the world knows I don't get Botox,' she wrote on her website. 'I'm much hotter in my mind, I swear I look better.

'Then again I hardly check a mirror before I go outside, I may start doing that more. I may have to start working out too, although genes and gymnastics have gotten me this far.'

But despite the shock, Pammy still doesn't want to cover up.

'I refuse to let these paparazzi ruin my time or my lifestyle in general with my children,' she says. 'I'm not going to spend time putting makeup on or staying covered up on the beach.

'I think I look alright but everywhere you turn you have a camera in your face - up your butt, it's crazy.'
