Pamela Anderson pays visit to Julian Assange
Actress Pamela Anderson sought out the advice of controversial WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange about the launch of her new charity foundation.
The Baywatch star and passionate activist set up the Pamela Anderson Foundation earlier this year (14) to benefit a variety of human, animal and environmental rights causes.
She wanted to discuss her plans for the organization with Assange,
so she paid him a visit in August (14) at the Ecuadorian embassy in
London, where he has been living for two years after claiming
political asylum.
Fashion designer Dame Vivienne Westwood tells Britain's Mail on
Sunday, "I was supposed to take Pamela Anderson to see Julian in
the embassy but she got the date wrong, so she went on her own the
day after me. She told me afterward that they got on very well.
Julian was just brilliant... Pamela's trying to help people with
her new trust and he gave her some ideas on how to do that."
His publicist has confirmed the meeting, simply adding, "She asked
for his advice."
Assange, who is trying to avoid extradition to Sweden on rape and
sexual assault allegations, announced his plans to leave the
embassy last month (Aug14).
