Wow, I’ve heard of getting married to get citizenship, getting married for love, and getting married for the gifts, but this is a new one! According to The National Enquirer, Pam Anderson and Rick Salomon got hitched so they could get a Newlyweds style reality show.

The real reason Pam Anderson and her poker-playing beau Rick Salomon got married Oct. 6 in Las Vegas is because they’re pitching a new reality show.

The show, which will include both the wedding and the couple’s red-hot honeymoon, will give viewers an intimate look at their new life together, says an insider…

Four networks – NBC, FOX, E! and VH1 – are bidding for the new series, which will be similar to the Jessica Simpson/Nick Lachey “Newlyweds” show, ads the insider.

“Rick assured Pam it would be a blockbuster and they could rake in big bucks.

“He also said they could probably sell different versions of the show – a cleaner version to the networks, an R-rated version to cable.”

Remember last week when I wrote about Kid Rock telling everyone that Pamela Anderson was broke? Well I guess Kid’s credibility just went through the roof because this story really proves that Pam is hard up for cash. Getting married just to make some money? Damn, I’m glad I’m not a broke, C-list celebrity!
