Anderson: Lay off my kids
Pamela Anderson wants the paparazzi to lay off her kids. She’s vowed to friends she will not do interviews with magazines – People, Us Weekly, In Touch, among them – if they don’t acquiesce, the New York Daily News reported.
The mother of 8-year-old Dylan and 7-year-old Brandon “refuses to do interviews with these mags that continue to buy pics of her children at baseball games, etc.,” an Anderson confidant e-mailed News columnist Lloyd Grove. Anderson “thinks going after their children is absolutely creepy,” the e-mailer added.
An Anderson rep wouldn’t comment.
