New sitcom for Anderson

Pamela Anderson is set to star in her own sitcom.

The former Baywatch pin-up, most recently seen in Scary Movie 3, will star as a woman trying to stop her addiction to irresponsible men in the planned new comedy.

America’s Fox Network has ordered six episodes– even though it has not yet seen a completed script, according to industry trade magazine The Hollywood Reporter.

The so-far-untitled comedy will be written and produced by  Steven Levitan, who created magazine sitcom Just Shoot Me, aired on the Paramount Comedy Channel in the UK.

He said: "I think Pamela has reached icon status because she's smart and she's self-aware. She has such a presence. She's funny and has a tremendous sense of self."
