Pamela
Anderson Skipped President's Speech to Sightsee
4/29/08
Pamela Anderson was unable to challenge U.S. President George W. Bush
on behalf of animal rights group PETA at a gala on Saturday (26Apr08) -
because she left the event to sightsee.
The Canadian-born star made her first trip to Washington, D.C. as an
American citizen on Friday (25Apr08) when she hand-delivered a report to
politicians blasting the U.S. Government for failing to update animal
testing procedures.
The animal activist was set to continue her lobbying efforts at
Saturday's (26Apr08) White House Correspondent's Dinner - but the former
Baywatch star and PETA Vice President Dan Mathews had left by the time the
head of state took the stage.
A representative for PETA tells New York gossip column PageSix,
"They hoofed it over to the famed Exorcist steps in Georgetown,
packing in one last bit of sightseeing before carrying on to the Bloomberg
LP afterparty at the Costa Rican embassy."
