Miley Cyrus idolized Pamela Anderson as a child.
The 32-year-old pop singer has always been a huge fan of the 'Baywatch' actress, and Miley has admitted to being wowed by Pamela's distinctive appearance.
In a video posted on Instagram, Miley told Pamela: "Ever since I was little, it was only Pam when people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grow up. I would say you. And the whole thing. The tattoos, the hair, all of it ... That's all I wanted to do."
Miley has also been amazed by Pamela's evolution over the years.
The 'Flowers' hitmaker explained: "I've had so many different pivots and evolutions and - one might say - detours within my path. But it always ends up coming back around to make the next stage of who we are. Something that's more potent, something that's more real."
Pamela, 57, doesn't feel "ashamed" of her past and thinks it's actually helped to shape her character.
She said: "I'm not ashamed of my life. I don't need to let anything go."
Meanwhile, Pamela recently revealed that she always knew she was capable of more than "just running around in a bathing suit".
The actress shot to stardom in the 90s, playing CJ Parker on the hit TV series 'Baywatch' - but Pamela feels she was finally given a platform to showcase the full extent of her talents in 'The Last Showgirl', the Gia Coppola-directed drama film.
During an appearance on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon', Pamela explained: "I always thought that I was capable of more than just running around in a bathing suit.
"So, I figured, you know, I wanted to give this a shot. And I poured everything into it, and I'm really glad that everyone loves it."

Packers’ Micah Parsons reveals why he’s not that interested in Aaron Rodgers’ offer
Green Bay Packers superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons has been among the players Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had offered to sell his house in Green Bay to. During last Sunday’s game between the Packers and the Steelers, Rodgers tried to pitch his property to Parsons, but the newly minted NFC Defensive Player of the Month doesn’t see the need for him to have such a big house yet, particularly since he’s just on his own (h/t Rob Demovsky of ESPN). On the season, Parsons has 6.5 sacks, including one against Rodgers in Green Bay’s 35-25 win in Week 8. Micah Parsons thinks another Packers player would be interested in Rodgers’ crib While Parsons is unlikely to acquire Rodgers’ place in Green Bay, he thinks that another player would be interested in it. “Tuck said he might try and look at it,” Parsons said, referring to Green Bay star tight end Tucker Kraft. ”...It’s a nice house, but it’s just me right now. That’s why I’m not in an urge to buy anything.” With the way Kraft is playing this season, he could be closing in on a massive extension, so buying Rodgers’ house could be within his budget as well. Kraft’s current contract will expire after the 2026 NFL season. But if Parsons changes his tune, he also should have the money to purchase the house. After getting traded by the Dallas Cowboys to the NFC North franchise, Parsons inked a four-year, $186M contract extension with Green Bay.
Latest Matt Rhule news should end Penn State rumors
The Penn State Nittany Lions can likely scratch another candidate off their coaching wish list. On Thursday, ESPN "College GameDay" insider Pete Thamel reported Nebraska Cornhuskers head coach Matt Rhule has signed a two-year contract extension with the program, which will run through the 2032 season. It includes a $15M buyout this season, which should prevent another school from poaching him. Why Matt Rhule was considered a strong candidate to replace recently fired Penn State HC James Franklin After Penn State fired Franklin on Oct. 12, Rhule was immediately linked to the job. As a teenager, the New York native moved to State College, where he became a walk-on linebacker for the Nittany Lions from 1994-97. He clearly still loves his alma mater. "I love Penn State, met my wife there, my alma mater," Rhule told the media shortly after Franklin was fired. "Fan since I was born, I think probably had a Penn State shirt when I was born. I really love [athletic director] Pat Kraft, and I'm sad to see coach Franklin go." While the AD for the Temple Owls, Kraft gave Rhule his first head-coaching job in 2013. Now that he has signed the extension, he can't turn to his old friend again and must explore other options. Where does Penn State go from here? The list of candidates in Penn State's head-coaching search is shrinking. The Indiana Hoosiers signed HC Curt Cignetti, another potential target, to an eight-year, $11.6M contract on Oct. 16. The Nittany Lions could attempt to court Ole Miss Rebels HC Lane Kiffin, who has his team in the thick of the national championship hunt after a 7-1 start. However, if he does leave Oxford, expect him to stay in the SEC rather than flocking to the Big Ten. Some believe Kiffin may be the next HC of the LSU Tigers and Florida Gators. And for any optimistic Penn State fans thinking they can lure ESPN analyst Nick Saban out of retirement, dream on. The former Alabama Crimson Tide HC has said there's "no way" he's returning to coaching. Don't bank on Penn State (3-4) promoting interim HC Terry Smith, especially after losing to the Iowa Hawkeyes, 25-24, in his first game. Instead, it may target HCs Mike Elko (Texas A M Aggies), Clark Lea (Vanderbilt Commodores) and Jeff Brohm (Louisville Cardinals). Penn State alumni may have welcomed a homecoming for Rhule. Now, it no longer looks like a possibility.
Three wild quotes from Louisiana governor Jeff Landry that could wreck LSU head-coaching search
For three days, the LSU Tigers had the most appealing head-coaching opening in college football. That changed Wednesday, when first-term Louisiana governor Jeff Landry (R) opened his mouth. Below are three absurd statements from Landry that should make prospective candidates run in the other direction instead of considering becoming the next LSU head coach. 1. Who's in charge? What Landry said: "No, I can tell you right now [athletic director] Scott Woodward is not selecting our next coach. Maybe we'll let President Trump pick it." Reaction: What should terrify candidates the most is how unorganized the search for head coach is at the top, creating a trickle-down effect that could permeate throughout the program. With an embattled AD — who has since been fired — plus the university looking for its next president, LSU's next head coach has no way of knowing what administration he'll be answering to. That uncertainty is no way to attract elite candidates. 2. Pot, meet kettle What Landry said about hiring the next football coach at LSU: "We're gonna make sure that he's compensated properly, and we're gonna put metrics on it because I'm tired of rewarding failure in this country and then leaving the taxpayers to foot the bill." Reaction: One of three programs with three national titles this century (joining Alabama and Ohio State), LSU has higher expectations for its football team than at most FBS programs. Landry's comments raise questions about how much time the Tigers will give their next head coach to construct a winner. What kind of metrics will be in place? It's normal for coaches to earn raises with conference or national championships, but what happens if Kelly's successor doesn't have the same immediate success he did, leading the team to the SEC title game and coaching a Heisman winner (Jayden Daniels) in his first two seasons? "I'm tired of rewarding failure in this country" is also a rich statement from a man whose state was ranked 46th of 50 states in education and last for economy by U.S. News World Report. 3. Politicians should stay out of sports What Landry said: "All I care about is what the taxpayers are going to be on the hook [for]." Reaction: Is it too much to ask that our elected officials know how things work? Landry was asked why LSU officials met with him at the governor's mansion before Kelly's firing, and his reasoning was nonsensical. Coaching buyouts, including Kelly's, are often paid through boosters with money to burn, not taxpayers. WDSU-New Orleans reporter Travers Mackel wrote on Monday that one private donor will foot the majority of Kelly's buyout. "Zero public money set aside for education, salaries or scholarships will be used," Mackel wrote. Landry's meddling in Kelly's firing is more than just concern for Louisiana taxpayers. "In the absence of a permanent president [at LSU], the governor has grabbed authority over key decisions," Yahoo Sports reporter Ross Dellenger wrote earlier this week. (A search for a new university president is in the final stages, according to The Advocate.) Politicians have no reason to get involved with college coaching decisions. Where does their influence end? What if the best available candidate doesn't share Landry's leanings? It's ridiculous to even have to consider. Well, everywhere but at LSU.
Could Colts acquire Bengals' Trey Hendrickson ahead of trade deadline?
While the Indianapolis Colts won seven of their first eight games to start the season, analysts have noted that the Colts aren't a complete team when it comes to winning the Super Bowl. Specifically, a Colts team in need of a pass-rusher has repeatedly been linked with Trey Hendrickson of the Cincinnati Bengals. For a piece published Friday, ESPN's Stephen Holder discussed whether Indianapolis could acquire Hendrickson before the Nov. 4 trade deadline. Do Colts think they could land Trey Hendrickson? "The Colts believe the veteran pass-rusher will not be traded," Holder wrote. "Hendrickson ended a months-long holdout in August when he finally reported after signing a reworked contract that gave him a pay increase for this season." Hendrickson played for Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, who previously held that position with the Bengals. That said, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN mentioned earlier this week that "Cincinnati has no plans to trade Hendrickson right now." Colts personnel might be hoping that the "right now" part of Fowler's update was doing some heavy lifting. The Bengals would fall to 3-6 on the season if they lose at home to the Chicago Bears (4-3) on Sunday. Such a development could perhaps lead Cincinnati to punt on the remainder of this season. As of Friday morning, ESPN BET had the Bengals as 2.5-point underdogs against the Bears. Bengals reporter Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic mentioned in a Friday article that "giving up on any season for future assets in early November is not on the table" for Cincinnati. What might Bengals want for Trey Hendrickson? It seems the Colts might need to look elsewhere if they want to add pass-rush help before Nov. 4. "If the Bengals reconsider their stance on Hendrickson — they've told teams he won't be traded without the team receiving exorbitant draft-pick compensation in return — the Colts would likely have interest," Holder added. That could indicate the Bengals haven't yet completely slammed the door shut on trading Hendrickson. For now, the Colts will have to focus on Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-3). On Friday, ESPN BET had Indianapolis as a 3.5-point road favorite for that matchup.
