Pam Anderson weds Paris Hilton's sex tape lothario

Last Updated: Sunday, October 7, 2007 | 10:53 AM ET

Canadian actress Pamela Anderson has married for the third time, getting hitched to Rick Salomon in a Las Vegas ceremony on Saturday night.

The former Baywatch star — who was once wedded to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee for three years and singer Kid Rock for four months — describes Salomon as a "friend for 15 years."

Salomon may be best known as the co-star of Paris Hilton's sex tape — something he has in common with Anderson, who also had an infamous sex tape distributed while she was with Lee.

"Rick and I are truly grateful," said the B.C.-born Anderson on her blog.  

Reports say Anderson, 40, and Salomon, 38, held their nuptials at the Mirage Hotel and Casino during Anderson's 90-minute break between her two magic show appearances at Planet Hollywood. She is an assistant to magician Hans Klok.

Her sons Brandon and Dylan, as well as actors Tobey Maguire and Kevin Dillon were among 60 friends and family members who attended the ceremony.

"Anderson wore a white Valentino miniskirt; Salomon wore a black tux with a black beanie," reported USmagazine.com.

The casino chipped in a four-tiered, pink-and-white wedding cake.

Anderson said she had planned to invite audience members to a champagne toast at the bar.

Reports of an imminent wedding swirled around Hollywood after the couple applied for a marriage licence last month in Nevada.

Last month, Anderson had hinted about a new man in her life while appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show:  "I paid off a poker debt with sexual favours, and I fell in love. It's so romantic. It's romance."
