Pamela Anderson isn't in Malibu anymore! The former Baywatch star was once one of the biggest celebrities associated with Los Angeles and its beaches. But the star is living an alternative life now and it'll surprise many.
Pamela - who has her new memoir, Love, Pamela, coming out along with the Netflix documentary, Pamela, A Love Story - has escaped Hollywood for a much more tranquil arrangement.
She resides in her grandparent's former farmhouse on Vancouver Island, and shares her home with her five dogs.

The house is filled with books, and she still has the sea and beaches at her fingertips but in a much calmer atmosphere.
She told HELLO! Canada: "It's all gardens and a barn and multiple little cabins sprinkled about. You can't survive the rest of the world unless you have a sanctuary - and this is ours."

Pamela also spoke to People. about her life there and said: "I live a more romantic life now that I'm alone than I did in relationships."

The couple married in 1995 and she wore a bikini while he wore shorts. Their relationship was "fun," Pamela admits and they had no rules.

But when intimate tapes of them were stolen from their garage and sold, she said it destroyed them.
"It ruined lives, starting with our relationship — and it's unforgivable that people, still to this day, think they can profit from such a terrible experience, let alone a crime."
While they divorced following an ugly situation which resulted in Tommy going to jail, two decades later and they are more than amicable. We "check in, every once in a while," she said. "Tommy is the father of my kids and I'm forever grateful."
