Okay, so am I on glue or did Pamela say that she and Tommy were giving it another go last June? Apparently, this is not the case. According to The Daily Dish she denies that they’re once again the happy couple they once were, but are living together “as friends.”

I wonder what happened? Together a month ago, not together now, but living under the same roof as cozy roomies? Hmmm…

Methinks I might have an idea. USA Today gives us a great big hint. Pammie and Tommy are blessing us with another “The Osbournes” style reality TV show. Thank GAWD!! I was desperately hoping deeply afraid that reality tv was beginning to die only to be replaced by content requiring a modicum of talent. Sleazy voyeurism and pride-free exhibitionism appealing to the basest morbid curiosities saves the day! YAY!!!

The show is to be titled Girl on the Loose. (Yeah, I don’t get how a 41 year old mother of two shacked up in domestic bliss with her good buddy and father of her children and yet not a love interest is a “girl on the loose,” but moving on…) The content of the show is yet undisclosed. “The eight-episode series ? produced by World of Wonder Productions ? was shot mostly on film as well as on Anderson’s personal video camera. Anderson insisted her children not be included.

‘I do it while they’re at school and at camp,’ she said. ‘There’s no cameras in my house. When there’s cameras in my house, they’re not there.’” So what are we going to be glued to the tv for? Is she going to be on the couch all day flipping through magazines or shaking it for the camera? What’s Tommy’s role in all this? Given Pam and Tom’s history behind the camera, I shudder to think. I’m actually a little disappointed that the kids wont have the chance to benefit from this reality-like, pseudo-stability otherwise lacking in their mother’s whiplash inducing romantic upheavals.

One does have to admire Pamela’s honesty about all this though, “I’m not worried about cleaning up my image,” said Anderson. “You know how you do things, and you don’t really know why you’re doing them until the end? I don’t know why I’m doing this yet. I’m just know I’m an exhibitionist. Some people are afraid to be found. I’m afraid not to be found. It’s one of those weird opportunities. And it was an incredible deal.”

$$$$ So there you go, mystery solved. $$$$

There is just one problem in this recipe for success in Pam’s words, “He is the father of your kids and you can’t get rid of them!” While it doesn’t appear that she’s trying all that hard, I think all she has to do is bide her time. Once the show fails after a single season he’ll be leaving a smoking trail out the door. Problem solved.

There is just no downside to this situation! Oh, the show airs August 3rd on E! Go mark your calendars.
