Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Pam Anderson is heading to Broadway!

Her name is in the news a lot lately because of a stupid movie made about a terrible time in her life.  Her time with ex husband Tommy Lee and the sex tape they made at home.

But now Pam is trying to flip the script and see what she’s really capable of on the famed stages of Broadway in the role of Roxie Hart in “Chicago.”

Pam’s debut at the Ambassador Theatre is set for April 12 and will run through June 5th.  That’s a lot of time to get a part down.

Anderson said her foray onto the stage will allow her to “see what I’m capable of,” she told the Associated Press on Monday in a statement.

“From ‘Baywatch’ to Broadway. I am inspired by the unexpected,” she said. “This is it, and I will not hold back anymore. I am letting go. For ‘Chicago,’ I’ll be putting all my cards on the table. I am doubling down — on me.”
