Pamela Anderson models a creation in the Richie Rich A*MUSE Fashion Show during Fashion Week in New York City “She showed up at 9:55 when the show was supposed to start at 9, and press people were there as early as 7 to interview her,” a spy at Chelsea hot spot Amnesia dished. “People were yelling at door handlers and getting incredibly antsy, especially because the standing room was so packed. “Some guests started storming out at 9:30, when the start of the show was nowhere in sight,” the source added, noting that the madness outside on W. 29th St. was nearly as bad, if not worse. “They had shut the doors at 8:40, since it was so crowded, so there were guests on the street who couldn’t get in. They were outraged.” Those out-of-luck stylistas certainly won’t be happy to hear this: Although Pam did have a reason for her tardiness — her flight was delayed — the buxom blond also insisted on stopping at her hotel to prepare for the show instead of racing to the venue. “I got dressed — well, semi-dressed — before I got here,” she admitted. The designer himself, who refused to start the presentation without Pam, would say only, “It was a crunch.” The drama didn’t stop — there was postshow chaos as well. “Pamela was brought upstairs to be interviewed with Richie,” our insider explained. “The photographers were getting so crazy over scoring a shot of her that one was physically removed by security. He just got a little too close to Pam for comfort. It was a madhouse.” Was it all worth it? Not according to some — especially since Pam didn’t even technically “walk” in the show, instead only briefly appearing with Rich as a finale of sorts. “It was a lot of waiting to see her onstage for just a minute,” complained the insider, before saying with a laugh: “At least she wore nothing but a sparkly leotard. That soothed some of the audience’s irritation.”

? The Ghost Writer – Featurette – Jumping Ship When a successful British ghost writer, THE GHOST, agrees to complete the memoirs of former British Prime Minister ADAM LANG, his agent assures him it’s the opportunity of a lifetime. But the project seems doomed from the start—not least because his predecessor on the project, Lang’s long-term aide, died in an unfortunate accident. The Ghost flies out to work on the project, in the middle of winter, to an oceanfront house on an island off the U.S. Eastern seaboard. But the day after he arrives, a former British cabinet minister accuses Lang of authorizing the illegal seizure of suspected terrorists and handing them over for torture by the CIA—a war crime. The controversy brings reporters and protesters swarming to the island mansion where Lang is staying with his wife, RUTH, and his personal assistant (and mistress), AMELIA. As The Ghost works, he begins to uncover clues suggesting his predecessor may have stumbled on a dark secret linking Lang to the CIA—and that somehow this information is hidden in the manuscript he left behind. Was Lang in the service of the American intelligence agency while he was prime minister? And was The Ghost’s predecessor murdered because of the appalling truth he uncovered? Resonating with topical themes, this atmospheric and suspenseful political thriller is a story of deceit and betrayal on every level— sexual, political and literary. In a world in which nothing, and no one, is as it seems, The Ghost quickly discovers that the past can be deadly—and that history is decided by whoever stays alive to write it. Directed by: Roman Polanski Starring: Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan, Kim Cattrall, Olivia Williams, Tom Wilkinson, Timothy Hutton, Eli Wallach
