Have you heard, madam? It very much appears that the rumours are true — Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are now an item!” I'm not normally one to go in for tawdry, tabloid gossip, nor do | usually have my finger remotely on the pulse when it comes to the latest celebrity couplings (often only discovering a pair of A-listers were even together upon their breakup). But this one is special; far from leaving me indifferent, here lies a love story with the power to make me practically bubble over with joy and excitement. Yes, it may concern two people | don't actually know, but that is irrelevant. | have found myself properly and unashamedly obsessed with the idea of a Liamela/Pamiam mashup.
