She graced last week's Fashion Week with a cock-a-hoop strut and barely a stitch to cover her famous wotsits. But is the world of
Pamela Anderson
as footloose and fancy free as it appears to be? Snitches say no.

The former
Baywatch
sexpot stalked the runway at the
Richie Rich
collection show on Friday in nothing but a sheer printed scarf, hot pink thong and vertiginous heels. It was a signature look that va-va-voomed her blonde bombshell status and cemented her renowned penchant for flashing her busty assets at the flicker of a flashbulb.
Itsy-bitsy bikini
Pammy was modelling a new line of skimpy A*Muse swimwear she co-designed with New Yorker Rich. It's a range they claim was borne out of hedonism and a need to have a good time.
"I prefer to be naked. But you have to wear clothes, so you may as well have some fun," Pammy said.
Making a grand entrance and mincing her way down the runway with a handkerchief (or was it a mosquito net?) covering her boobies, Pammy was accompanied by a roller-skated Rich, who came a cropper and became fashion road kill as his derriere met runway.
Not long before Anderson did a cheeky U-turn and gave the audience an eyeful of her well-toned bum. Which, for the record, appeared to be as taut as two plums in a hankie. Not bad for a 42-year-old, babe.
Financial pickle?
But trouble's-a-brewing for Pammy, according to US reports. The
Playboy
pin-up's in a wee bit of a financial pickle and allegedly over $1.2million in debt.
Pammy is reportedly being chased by the construction companies who helped remodel her five bedroom Malibu home last year.
Bruder Construction recently filed a $674,043 lien (legal claim) against Pammy for "labour and materials and subcontractors to remodel main house, construct swimming pool [and] construct foundations for guest house," the lien claim reads.
Then there's another lien filed by a company called Boulevard Management for alleged unpaid bills and interest totalling $87,696. Two other companies, Powerfull Electric and Pacific Coast Ironworks filed liens for $83,732 and $29,015 respectively.
To date, a total of five construction companies have reportedly filed liens against Anderson, seeking payment for remodeling services.
"It's a bad situation," Bruder Construction's boss Jay Bruder tells
Star
magazine. "A lot of people are owed a lot of money."
Tax
To make matters worse, Pammy's also reportedly been walloped with a lien by California's Franchise Tax Board, claiming she owes $252,360 in unpaid income tax from 2007.
Wooden spoon poised and ready to stir,
Star
magazine speculates that if the legal claims are proved to be valid, Pammy "may have to sell her house - valued at $6 million - to cover her debts".
"Her creditors do have some recourse to get their money back," says Steve Cron, a random attorney quoted by
Star
. "That cold include going to court and having the property foreclosed on, forcing her to sell her house to pay them off. It's a long, cumbersome process, but it can be done."
We've been here before. You'll remember that
Courtney Love
outed Anderson's alleged financial woes earlier this year. Love told the
New York Post
: "Pam Anderson doesn't even have a credit card. And she lives in Paradise Cove - which is in Malibu, but it's a trailer park in Malibu."
Trailer
It's no secret that Pammy's been living in a beachside trailer in Malibu while her home was made-over. And she was recently quoted as saying she might just stick around and embrace the trailer park lifestyle.
No comment as yet from Anderson's spokesperson on the proceedings.
We can sniff a hiney-saving cash cow on the boil. Options: Sex tape (we hear
Tommy
's free), another dodgy airport-themed video, or, yikes, a
Baywatch
reunion.

Sarah Jessica Parker'

Kim Cattrall
is ruining production of the sexy sequel.
Reports surfaced last week that SJP and Cattrall were so estranged on set, it was affecting morale and upsetting crew. Yeah, right.
A snitch told OK! magazine: "While the cast is all smiles on the outside, the level of dislike is unbelievable. No-one is having a good time on this shoot.
"The crew have taken to calling her ?Carrie Sadshaw?. When she doesn?t have to be ?on? in her scenes, she looks so sad," the snitch added.
Amazingly, the feud reports are ?false on every level?, according to SJP's rep. Who knew.

West, who has no doubt realised by now that nobody puts

A snitch tells the

The snitch added: "Kanye doesn?t want to spend time in rehab but knows he needs help and is taking steps in the right direction."
Good luck with that one, ego-a-go-go.
