Compared To Pammy, She’s A Bleeth Of Fresh Air
In the interests of investigative reporting, we decided to look more into the recent comments of “Baywatch” beauty Yasmine Bleeth.
We’ve already reported how hard it is for Bleeth to actually bathe in the Pacific Ocean because of its frigid temperature. But we didn’t report her follow-up remarks.
“But hey, there are ups and downs to every job,” she told TV Guide. “I mean, how much can I complain? I have to go to work on a beautiful sunny beach every day. Let’s just say I love it.”
Of course. And what about the stories that she doesn’t get along with her “Baywatch” co-star Pamela Anderson Lee? Bleeth insists that the difference between them is that “I’m not this big vampy, sexy thing.”
“I think she’s made some interesting career decisions,” Bleeth says.

Despite the ongoing barbs thrown at Bill Clinton because of his alleged womanizing, White House press secretary Mike McCurry took the light view of a recent attempt by movie actress Demi Moore to call his boss.
